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: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

Information for California Consumers
The California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") affords certain rights and protections to California residents. This section is intended to further describe (i) the categories and sources of data that PostalChanges.com collects, sells or shares; (ii) the purpose for collection; (iii) the types of third parties to whom PostalChanges.com discloses that information; and (iv) details about how California residents can exercise their rights under the CCPA.
Categories of Data PostalChanges.com Collects. PostalChanges.com collects the following CCPA categories of data: (i) identifiers, such as a name, email address, telephone number, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, IP address, account name; (ii) personal identifiers under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e), such as credit card or debit card number, financial information; (iii) protected classification characteristics under California law, such as age, marital status, gender, veteran or military status; (iv) internet activity, such as browsing history and search history information; (v) geolocation data; (vi) inferences drawn from some of the information above (e.g., email open rates and time).
PostalChanges.com generally collects the above data as Technical Data or Provided Attributes. For example, PostalChanges.com does not create user profiles to determine the gender, marital status or employment status of consumers. PostalChanges.com receives each of those categories of data only as self-reported data from the consumer.
Data Sources:
PostalChanges.com: PostalChanges.com collects Technical Data and Provided Attributes from consumers who land on or engage with our Sites, our call centers or other PostalChanges.com owned-properties (e.g., in response to emails from or on behalf of PostalChanges.com).
Partners and Third Parties: Consumers who visit websites owned by our Media Partners may be redirected to our Sites. In some cases, we may gather data directly from Media Partner websites, or Media Partners or other third parties may post data to our Sites or otherwise transfer data to us. This may occur via display ads, click listings, inquiry forms or telephonic transfers from Media Partner call centers. Our Advertising Partners may also provide us with data.
Service Providers: PostalChanges.com engages service providers to perform a variety of functions (e.g., verifying consumer consent, validating email addresses or phone numbers).
Authorization: We require all parties from whom we receive data, whether they are Partners, Service Providers or other third parties, to represent and warrant to us that they have appropriately obtained the data provided to us and have the authority to share the data with us.
Purpose for Data Collection. As described above in Data Use, PostalChanges.com primarily uses the data it collects to provide consumers with products and or services those consumers are seeking.
Categories of Third Parties with Whom PostalChanges.com Discloses Personal Data. In addition to the sharing for the primary use described in Data Sharing we may share your data with other PostalChanges.com businesses, service providers, and third party websites.
Categories of Data Sold. As described above in Data Use and Data Sharing, PostalChanges.com may transfer Technical Data, Provided Attributes and Third Party Data to Advertising Partners who can provide the consumer with information about the products and services they are seeking. We may receive a fee for the transfer of that data or when the consumer purchases a product or service.
CCPA Rights. The CCPA affords certain rights and protections to California residents including: (i) the right to request that we delete any "personal information" that we have collected from you ("Right to Delete"); (ii) the right to request that we disclose the categories and/or specific pieces of personal information collected and sold ("Right to Know"); and (iii) the right to direct us not to sell their "personal information" ("Right to Opt-Out"). "Personal information" is defined under the CCPA as "information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household."
California residents who would like to submit a Request to Know, Delete, or Opt-Out should follow the links below. You may also submit a Request to Know by emailing support@postalchanges.com with the subject "CCPA REQUEST". Upon submission, you will be asked to verify your email address. If we are able to verify your Request to Know or Delete, (e.g., that you are a California resident and that we have or have sold, as the case may be, your "personal information"), we will respond within 45 days of your submission (or such additional time period as the law allows us).
How does our site handle 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.
Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we allow third party behavioral tracking
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.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
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.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via in site notification
• Within 1 business day
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally 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 a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
