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. - See more at:

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under
the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in
control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' 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 the age of 13 years old.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from
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:
We will notify you via email
• Within 1
business day
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.
