California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any 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. The privacy policy must state exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
In accordance with CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can always visit our site anonymously. We have a link to our privacy policy, that includes the word ‘Privacy,’ in our footer so it is accessible on every page. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will be noted on our Privacy Policy page.
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.
Third-party behavioral tracking
We do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.
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 world. 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.
To stay in line with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur:
- We will notify you via email within 3 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue 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 government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
Promotional and Marketing Communication
We may use the information we collect or receive, such as your email address, to communicate directly with you. We may send you emails containing newsletters, promotions and special offers. If you do not want to receive such messages, you will be given the option to opt out in every email.

- Send information and respond to inquiries and/or other requests or questions
- Process orders and send information and updates pertaining to orders
