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:

http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

Users can visit our site anonymously.

Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant

page after entering our website.

Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

browser mechanism is in place.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's 

Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' 

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.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. This site primarily markets to individuals over 

the age of 13. Bookish Delights does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a 

person younger than 13 years of age. Giveaway forms on the site require an individual to be at least 18 years or older,

or have parental permission (in which case the parent will fill out the form for an individual). 

Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children under 13? No.  

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts 

they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding 

the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various 

privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a 

data breach occur:

We will notify you via email

      • Within 7 business days

We will notify the users via in-site notification

      • Within 7 business days

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue 

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 government

agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, 

gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

      • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions

      • Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

      • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
