The scope of the law extends far beyond California, requiring any person or company in the United States (and theoretically worldwide) that operates websites and collects personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website, stating exactly what information is being collected and with whom it is being shared, as well as compliance with this policy. - Learn more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

We do not specifically market products to children under 13.
