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: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/

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 be easily be found on the page specified above.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page

How does our site handle "do not track" signals?

We do not directly collect user data, therefore when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place, our site's services are unaffected.

Because we use Google Analytics software, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy page for additional information about how your data is used.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

We do not specifically market to children under 13.
