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

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 7 business days
We will notify you via phone call
• Within 7 business days
We will notify you via letter
• Within 7 business days
We will notify the users via in-site notification
• Within 7 business days
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.
