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:

Users can visit our site anonymously.

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

day
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 government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by
data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails
