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

Users can visit our site anonymously.

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.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children under 13?
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:
• Respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
• Process service orders and to send information and updates pertaining to services you have requested.
• Send you additional information related to your service.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
• Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can reply to our message with a request to no longer receive correspondence and we will promptly remove you from future correspondence.
Privacy and Data Retention Policy for Data Recovery Cases
When you fill out and submit our data recovery terms of service form (TOS) we retain the provided personal information indefinitely. The form may be filed physically or digitally. Once your media is received, it may be handled by more than one person. We understand that there could be confidential business and personal data on your media, so we handle each case with privacy in mind. We typically review a limited number of personal files for successful recovery verification. This allows us to tell you with some confidence that your recovered data is not corrupt.
After your recovery is complete, we send by link or attachment, to the email address you provided, a file and folder list for review. This list is not encrypted or password protected. While it is just a list of recovered files and not the actual files, it could have sensitive data in the names of the files and folders. If this is a concern, you should request in advance that we do not provide a list for review.
Once the recovery is complete, we will ship your recovered data on media that is NOT encrypted. If you require encryption then you must provide suitable encrypted return media in advance.
We retain a copy of your recovered data for at least 7 days after delivery of your data to your provided shipping address. Typically, the retention time is longer, and your recovered data will be wiped when we reclaim the storage space for new cases. If a special case is made for delivery via cloud storage, you will have access for at least 7 days. You can request via email at any time that all copies of your recovered data in our possession be deleted. Upon us receiving notice to delete all copies, you will receive notification within 48 hours that your data has been wiped from our storage.
Your files are never stored outside our facility unless you request that some files be emailed or downloaded.
