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 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. - See more at:
