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 a 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 with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

To comply with 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 be easily be found on the page specified above;
Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes via the privacy policy website page; and
Users are able to change their personal information by emailing us.

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.

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 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s 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 13.

CCPA (CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT)

If you are a California resident, please refer to be kind studios LLC Privacy Notice for California Residents.

We may require certain Personal Information from you to provide you with, or to enroll you in, requested services or programs, including in partnership with third parties. You have the right at any time to opt out of these services or programs; however, if you opt out, you may not be able to participate in, or receive the benefits of, such services or programs.

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 notify users of our website within (7) business days should a data breach occur.

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally 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 a government agency 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 email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

Send information, promotions, marketing information, business information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions;
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred; and
