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:

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.

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.
