This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are
concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII)

person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our
privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we
collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable

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 more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add 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.

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.
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 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.
CAN SPAM Act
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.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send
information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the
following:
• Not use false
or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the
message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the
physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor
third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honor
opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to
unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

from receiving future emails, you can email us at
