CalOPPA requires 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.

If, for some reason, we cannot reply within such a time frame, our response will include an explanation for our inability to comply.
