California Online Privacy Protection Act (CaloPPA)

CaloPPA is the first state law in the country to mandate the posting of a privacy statement on commercial websites and online services. The law's reach extends well beyond California, requiring anyone or any organization operating websites in the United States (or perhaps the entire world) that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a clear privacy statement on their website, adhere to it, and disclose exactly what information is being collected and with whom it will be shared.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

Access to our website is open to anonymous users. As soon as this privacy statement is finished, a link to it will be added to our home page or, at the very least, the first important page you see when you visit our website. The phrase "Privacy" appears in our Privacy Policy link, which is prominently displayed on the page mentioned above.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:


• On our Privacy Policy Page

Users are able to change their personal information:

• By emailing us

• By calling us

How does our site handle not track signals?

We honor do not track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles are the cornerstone of American privacy legislation, and the ideas they encompass have had a big impact on the evolution of data protection laws all over the world. Compliance with the different privacy regulations that safeguard personal information requires an understanding of the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be put into practice.

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 the users via email

  • Within 7 business days

  • We will notify the users via in-site notification

  • Within 1 business day


We also concur with the Individual Redress Principle, which mandates that people have the ability to legally hold negligent data collectors and processors accountable. This concept mandates that people have recourse to courts or government entities to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors, in addition to having enforceable rights against data users.

Cookie Usage

This section describes how we use the cookies, and why these cookies are stored on your device. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored. However, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

A ‘cookie’ is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

‘Session’ cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information that is inappropriate (the site ‘remembers’ previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
