Privacy Policy according to GDPR
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 with our website.

We collect information
from you when you respond to a survey, fill out a form or enter information on

website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our
website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties
agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information

We have not
enabled Google AdSense on our site but we may do so in the future.
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. - 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 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
Can change your personal information:
• By emailing us

does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track
signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track
(DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Does our site allow
third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we
do not allow third-party behavioral tracking
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 the users via in-site notification
•
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.
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.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send
information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
•
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the
original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with
CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
• Not use false or misleading
subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in
some reasonable way.
• Include the physical address of our business or site
headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance,
if one is used.
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow
users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future
emails, you can email us at

and we will
promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
