CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require

reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the
United States (and conceivable 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.

Privacy Policy Page;

Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that
you do not want to be tracked.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the
Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

under California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can
request disclosure or deletion at any time.
If you submit a request to stop selling your personal
information, we will stop making such transfers.
Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your data,
it may impact your experience with us, and you may not be able to participate
