For example, this site will collect IP addresses and other information (such as the time and date of your visit) in order to understand trends and help me improve the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their \u2018Personally Identifiable Information\u2019 (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website, or app?<\/strong> When do we collect information?<\/strong> How do we use your information?<\/strong> How do we protect your information?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do we use \u2018cookies\u2019?<\/strong> We use cookies to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you turn cookies off some parts of the site may not function properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third-party disclosure<\/strong> Third-party links<\/strong> Suggested text: <\/strong>Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 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. \u2013 See more at http:\/\/consumercal.org\/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa\/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?<\/strong> Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?<\/strong> When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States\u2019 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. 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. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By using this site you agree to accept the terms of this policy.
