    6. Third party links

We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

  3. Google, Cookies and Remarketing

    1. This website uses Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the site. The tool uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.

    2. We will never (and will not allow any third party to) use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of visitors to our site. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any Personally Identifiable Information from any source, unless you explicitly submit that information via a fill-in form on our website.

    3. Information to opt out of Google Analytics

    4. What is Remarketing?

      1. This website uses Google remarketing to advertise online using text or image ads on the Google Display Network. Remarketing is a feature that lets us reach people who have previously visited our site, and show them relevant ads when they visit other sites on the Google Display Network.

      2. For websites using remarketing, a third-party Google AdWords or DoubleClick cookie is used to enable remarketing for products like AdWords on the Google Display Network. When someone visits our website, a few lines of code will drop an anonymous browser cookie. This cookie is a small file that stores information. The cookie will store the site visit, but does not store any sensitive information, such as visitor name, address or any other piece of information that might personally identify the visitor. The cookie will be enabled for a set period of time, such as 30 or 60 days, at which time, the cookie expires.

    5. What is the Google Display Network?

      1. A group of more than a million websites, videos, and apps where ads can appear. Sites in this network have partnered with Google to show relevant AdWords ads.

    6. Remarketing Restrictions

      1. Our website will never:

      2. run remarketing ads that collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

      3. create a remarketing list or ad text that specifically targets users in ways that are outlined as “prohibited” by Google

    7. Opting out of Remarketing

      1. Visitors may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Ads Preference Manager. Visitors may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

      2. The Google Analytics features we’ve implemented are based on Display Advertising (e.g., Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting). Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using Ads Settings.

  4. California Online Privacy Protection Act

    1. 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

    2. According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

    3. Users can visit our site anonymously

    4. 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.

    5. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’, and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

    6. Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:

      1. On this Page

    7. Users are able to change their personal information:

    8. By emailing our Privacy Officer listed at the bottom of this policy

    9. How does our site handle do not track signals?

    10. 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.

  5. COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

    1. 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.

    2. We do not specifically market to children under 13.

  6. Fair Information Practices

    1. 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.

    2. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

    3. We will notify the users via in site notification within 7 business days.

    4. 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.

  7. CAN-SPAM Act

    1. 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.

    2. We collect your email address in order to:

    3. Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

    4. Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

    8. Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters

    9. Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

    11. Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email

    12. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can:
