This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are
concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is
being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information
security, is information that can be used on its own or with other
information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to
identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy
carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or
otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance

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 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. Read more. According to CalOPPA, we agree to the
following:
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.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be
found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our privacy policy
page. You can also change your personal information by emailing us or by
logging into your account and visiting your profile page.
How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
Due to temporary technical limitations of our website, we do not honor DNT
headers at this time. However we do plan to add support for correct DNT
header processing in the future.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
We allow third-party behavioral tracking by trusted partners.
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.
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
you via email within 7 business days.
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.
