- California Online Privacy Act (CAlOPPa)
Is the first state law in the country to mandate the posting of a privacy statement on commercial websites and online services. The law’s reach extends well beyond California, requiring anyone or any organization operating websites in the United States (or perhaps the entire world) that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a clear privacy statement on their website, adhere to it, and disclose exactly what information is being collected and with whom it will be shared.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles are the cornerstone of American privacy legislation, and the ideas they encompass have had a big impact on the evolution of data protection laws all over the world. Compliance with the different privacy regulations that safeguard personal information requires an understanding of the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be put into practice.
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 email
- Within 7 business days
- We will notify the users via in-site notification
- Within 1 business day
We also concur with the Individual Redress Principle, which mandates that people have the ability to legally hold negligent data collectors and processors accountable. This concept mandates that people have recourse to courts or government entities to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors, in addition to having enforceable rights against data users.
