The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018, and creates consistent data protection rules across Europe. It applies to companies (regardless of where they are based) who process personal data about individuals in the EU. This means that a US company, even a small business, that processes personal data on EU citizens must comply with the GDPR.

While many of the principles build on current EU data protection rules, the GDPR has a wider scope, more prescriptive standards, and substantial fines. For example, it requires a higher standard of consent for using some types of data and broadens individuals’ rights with respect to accessing and porting their data. It also establishes significant enforcement powers, allowing a company’s supervisory authority to seek fines of up to 4% of global annual revenue for certain violations.

Key Legal Bases

Under GDPR, there are a number of grounds to legitimize the processing of personal data. Below, we’ve outlined the most relevant legal bases under the GDPR.

Basis Requirements and Product Implications

Contractual Necessity-Data processed must be necessary for the Service and defined in the contract with the individual
Consent
Requires a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent by clear affirmative action
People have a right to withdraw consent, which must be brought to their attention
Must be from a person over the age of consent specified in that Member State, otherwise given by or authorized by a parent/guardian
Explicit consent is required for some processing (e.g., special categories of personal data)

Legitimate Interests

A business or third party must have legitimate interests which are not overridden by individuals’ rights or interests.
Data processing must be paused if an objection is raised by an individual

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. 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. –

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

Users can visit our site anonymously

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.

Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’

This link easily is found in the footer on our website footer opens to the policy specified above.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:

How does our site handle do not track signals?

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.

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

It’s also important to note that we allow third party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

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.

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices

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.

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

We will notify the users via email
Within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires:

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.

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:

Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders
We may also send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
