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. The privacy policy must state exactly the information being collected and those individuals, or companies, with whom it is being shared. See more at:

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once we created this privacy policy, we added 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.
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, 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. As we do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old, COPPA does not apply to the Company.
The Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) form the backbone of privacy law in the United States; and, the concepts include in FIPPs played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the world.

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.
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.
