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.
