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.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page.

How does our Site handle Do Not Track signals
Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use
practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser. Our
store operates on Shopify and there is no option to turn it off
because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to
respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
Does our Site allow third-party behavioral tracking
It's also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking
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.
Fair Information Practice
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 e-mail within 7 business days
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.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial e-mail,
establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the
