10. CALIFORNIA ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT COMPLIANCE (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 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 stating exactly the information being collected
and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
Because we value your privacy, we have taken the necessary precautions
to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy
Protection Act (CalOPPA).
According to the California Online Privacy act, you have the following
rights:
· Know what personal data is being collected.
· Know whether your personal data is sold or disclosed and to whom.
· Access to your personal data.
· Request to delete any personal information about you.
· Not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights.

the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK
regulation), the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA – U.S
regulation) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - European
regulation) regarding the protection
of the personal data of minors. We do not collect any information from anyone
under 13 years of age. Our website and products are all directed to people who
are at least 13 years old or older. If you become aware that your
child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we
become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will
take steps to delete that information, terminate that person's account, and
restrict access to that person.
12. EDITING AND DELETING INFORMATION

believe that any information, we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete,
