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:  http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

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 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.
