California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

CCPA is the first state law in the country to mandate the posting of a privacy statement on commercial websites and online services. The law's reach extends well beyond California, requiring anyone or any organization operating websites in the United States (or perhaps the entire world) that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a clear privacy statement on their website, adhere to it, and disclose exactly what information is being collected and with whom it will be shared.

According to CCPA, we agree to the following:

Access to our website is open to anonymous users. As soon as this privacy statement is finished, a link to it will be added to our home page or, at the very least, the first important page you see when you visit our website. The phrase "Privacy" appears in our Privacy Policy link, which is prominently displayed on the page mentioned above.

We also concur with the Individual Redress Principle, which mandates that people have the ability to legally hold negligent data collectors and processors accountable.
