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. Moreover, 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 PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating precisely the information we are collecting and sharing with individuals or companies. You can read more about CalOPPA here.

COPPA (CHILDREN ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT)

When collecting personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.

We do not specifically market to children under 13 years old.

We do not let third parties, including ad networks or plug-ins, collect PII from children under 13.
