California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
The first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy, the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) went into effect in 2004. It was amended in 2013 to require new privacy disclosures regarding tracking of online visits.
CalOPPA applies to any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) whose website collects personally identifiable information from California consumers. CalOPPA requires the website to feature a conspicuous privacy policy stating exactly what information is collected and with whom it is shared; it also requires the operator of the website or online service to comply with the site’s privacy policy.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Congress passed the Children’s Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in 1998.

In December of 2012, the FTC made some changes to the COPPA rules, which went into effect on July 1, 2013. We do not specifically market to children under 13.
