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

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.

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

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 in-site
notification
• 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.
