Your Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

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 conceivable the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating precisely the data 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:

0.1. users can visit our site anonymously;

0.2. our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy” and can easily be found on the homepage of our website;

0.3. users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page;

0.4. users can change their personal information by emailing us at support@spiress.com.

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting your web browser’s Preferences or Settings page.
