California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
The 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. CalOPPA applies to any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) whose website collects personally identifiable information from California consumers. It requires the operator of the website or online service to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly what information is collected and with whom it is shared and to comply with this privacy policy.
In accordance with CalOPPA, our Privacy Policy is linked to our homepage via a hypertext link that contains the word “privacy” and is written in capital letters equal to or greater in size than the surrounding text. Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy page. Furthermore, users are able to view and change their Personal Information by logging in to their account.
We honor do not track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use targeted 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.
Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
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. In accordance with COPPA, we do not specifically market to children under 13.
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 personalize your user experience, allow you to opt-in to our newsletters and updates, process orders for products, and provide customer service. In accordance with the CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at unsubscribe@planandgohiking.com, and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
