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)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from
children under 13, the 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:
We will notify the users via email
We will notify the users via in site notification
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that
individuals have a right to pursue legally 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
a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data
processors.
CAN SPAM Act
