California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) is the first state law in the United States to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared and to comply with this policy.

For more information about CalOPPA, visit the link below.

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.

Slide and Film Scanner does not specifically market to children under 13.
