California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control of collection of Personally Identifiable Information from children under age 13. The COPPA Rule is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Our website, services, and opportunities are not intended for use by children under age 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under age 13 or let third parties, including ad networks or plug-ins, collect information from children under age 13. 

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. To comply with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We will notify you via email

  • Within 7 business days.

We will notify the users via in-site notification

  • Within 7 business days.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to:
