California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA, the pioneering state law mandating the disclosure of privacy policies, extends its jurisdiction beyond California. It compels US-based entities, regardless of geographical location, operating websites that accumulate personally identifiable information from Californian users to conspicuously display a privacy policy detailing the nature of information collection and sharing. We, in compliance with CalOPPA, endorse the ensuing provisions:
Users can explore our site anonymously.
Upon creating this privacy policy, a link to it will be added either on our homepage or, minimally, on the initial prominent page accessible upon entering our site. The Privacy Policy link will be aptly labeled 'Privacy' and positioned in the designated section.
Users will not be notified of any alterations to the privacy policy through our Privacy Policy Page.
Users have the means to update their personal data by initiating a support ticket.

It is pertinent to acknowledge that we permit third-party behavioral tracking.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) confers guardians with authority over the collection of personal data from individuals below 13 years of age. The Federal Trade Commission, entrusted with consumer protection, enforces the COPPA Rule, which outlines the obligations of website and online service operators in ensuring children's online privacy and safety. We do not specifically target children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles serve as the bedrock of privacy law in the United States, and their principles have significantly influenced global data protection legislation. Comprehending these principles and their implementation is pivotal to adhering to privacy laws that safeguard personal data. Moreover, we concur with the principle of individual redress, entitling individuals to legally enforce their rights against data collectors and processors found in violation of the law. This principle advocates not only for enforceable rights but also for accessible channels, including legal recourse, to address non-compliance by data processors.
