This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who

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
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.

Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track
(DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
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.
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.
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
stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties
for violations.
We collect your email address in
order to:
•
Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to
orders.
•
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our
clients after the original transaction has occurred.
