California’s Online Privacy Rights Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the world to compel commercial websites and internet providers to publish a privacy policy. The law has far-reaching implications, requiring everyone in the United States (and probably the world) who operates a website that gathers personally identifiable information from California citizens to post a prominent privacy policy on their site, as well as to enforce it. For more information, go to http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

Users will be able to access our website without disclosing their identity.
After it has been created, we will post a link to this privacy policy on our home page, or at the very least on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy connect, which can be found on the page mentioned above, contains the word ‘privacy’.

COPPA (Convention on the Protection of Personal Information)

It is a treaty that regulates how personal information is treated (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

Parents have jurisdiction over the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection regulator, enforces the COPPA Law, which defines what operators of websites and internet services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

Children under the age of thirteen are not permitted to purchase from us.

Fair Data Collection Activities

The Equal Information Practices Standards are the foundation of US privacy law, and the concepts they cover have inspired data security legislation around the world. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Standards and how they should be implemented is needed to comply with the various privacy laws that protect confidential information.

In the case of a data breach, we will take the following proactive measures to ensure compliance with Fair Information Practices:

Within seven working days, users will receive an email notification.
In seven working days, users will receive an in-site email notification.

Individual redress, which states that people have the right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who do not obey the law, is also something we endorse. Individuals must not only have enforceable privileges against data consumers, but also have access to courts or government authorities to investigate and/or prosecute data processor noncompliance, according to this definition.
