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 any 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 or companies with whom
it is being shared. - See more at:

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act):
When
it comes to the collection of personal information from children under
the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United
States' 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 the age of 13 years old.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children under 13?
Fair Information Practices:
The

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 you via email
• Within 1 business day
We will notify the users via in-site notification
• Within 1 business day
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue 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 government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
