California Online Privacy Protection Act
COPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

According to COPPA, 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’ and can easily be found.
