In compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), commercial websites and online services are required to post a privacy policy.

Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), parents are given complete control of any data collected from children under the age of 13 years old. To honor COPPA, we allow third-party behavioral tracking on our website. The Federal Trade Commission, which operates as the United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule. This rule describes the policies that website operators must uphold to protect the privacy and safety of children online. We do not market our services to children under 13 years of age.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practice Principles play an important role in securing privacy and data protection laws in the United States and around the world.

In order to comply with the Fair Information Practice Principles, we will take the following action if a data breach occurs:

We will notify you through email and phone call within 1 business day. We also comply with the Individual Redress Principle, which allows individuals the ability to legally pursue enforceable rights against users who do not follow this principle. These users also have the choice to employ courts or government agencies to prosecute data collectors for non-compliance.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act provides data users with the rules for commercial email use and messages, gives recipients the right to prevent emails from being sent to them, and details penalties for any violations. When we collect your email address, we usually send information about our services, address any concerns or inquiries, and respond to other requests. To comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, we agree to:

  • Regularly inspect third-party email marketing services.
