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 a 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 with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The \
Federal Trade Commission, the nation's 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 13.

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 the users via email
       Within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals
have a right to pursue legally 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 a government agency 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:
       Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original
        transaction has occurred

To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:
       NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses
