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. - See more at:

- 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.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's

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.

laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they

information.
