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:

information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will

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.
