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. -See more at:

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.

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.
