Practices
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,

or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully

Google's advertising requirements can be summed up by Google's Advertising Principles.

We use Google AdSense Advertising on our website.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's

opt out page or permanently using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.
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. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
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,

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 will notify the users via in site notification
• 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.
