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 a 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 with whom it is
being shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at:

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal
Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule,
which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect
children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 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.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the
following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
