be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your

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. -

following:

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.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or
plug-ins collect PII from 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 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

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.
