We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property or safety, or for legal action involving the data.

Third-party links

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: https://consumercal.org/about-cfc/cfc-education-foundation/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa-3/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy existence or changes as you visit the first time or after you delete or prevent cookies from remembering you've dealt with the notice:

You can change your personal information:

How 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. Once you have set your browser, it should not affect any regular information on the site. Any areas that require cookies/tracking will give you a notice if you must allow them to use that feature.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

Yes, we would allow third-party behavioral tracking if it is a part of a special plugin added to the site software. (Social networking, comments, etc.)

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. There is nothing on the site that would put children under the age of 13 at risk should they happen to land on this site.

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 you via email or by phone if we have that information depending on the extent of the breach. We do not collect any type of identity or financial information ever.

We will notify the users via in-site notification

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. All legal actions as a result of this web site will be handled in the Utah court of jurisdiction over this business location. If you continue to use this site, you agree to binding arbitration in said jurisdiction with each party paying their own costs unless the arbitration process decides otherwise.
