COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
We do not target our marketing specifically to children under the age of 13, as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) gives parents control over the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. The Federal Trade Commission, a consumer protection agency in the United States, is responsible for enforcing the COPPA Rule, which outlines the requirements for websites and online services to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
Fair Information Practices
The principles outlined in the Fair Information Practices are a key element of the privacy legislation in the United States and have influenced the creation of data protection laws worldwide. It is important to be familiar with these principles and how to properly apply them in order to comply with the various laws that protect personal information.
To ensure compliance with the Fair Information Practices, the following actions will be taken in the event of a data breach:
1. You will be notified by email within 7 business days.
2. We also adhere to the Individual Redress Principle, which gives individuals the right to legally pursue action against data collectors and processors who do not follow the law. This principle mandates that people have recourse to courts or government entities to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors, in addition to having enforceable rights against data users.
