concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is

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.

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 page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after
entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
• On our Privacy Policy Page

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or
use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.
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.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children under 13?
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
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.
