California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
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.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
If you need to change your PII, email us directly.
In order to be in line with the Fair Information Practices in the United States, should a data breach occur, we will notify the users via in-site notification within 7 business days.
