They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwordspolicy\/answer\/1316548?hl=en<\/p> We have not enabled Google AdSense on our site but we may do so in the future.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law\u2019s 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. \u2013 See more at: http:\/\/consumercal.org\/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa\/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 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 \u2018Privacy\u2019, and can be easily be found on the page specified above.<\/p> Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes: 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.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t It\u2019s also important to note that we do not allow third party behavioral tracking.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation\u2019s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children\u2019s privacy and safety online.<\/p> We do not specifically market to children under 13.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 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.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We will notify the users via email\u00a0Within 7 business days<\/i>

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.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
