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:
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 be easily
be found on the page specified above.
Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:
-
On our Privacy Policy Page
Users are able to change their personal information
-
By emailing us.
-
By calling us.
-
By logging in to their account on www.mgwshifters.com.
How does our site handle do not track signals?
We honor do not track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use
advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow third party behavioral tracking. This means that we do not
allow any third party services, such as online marketing & advertising providers, to monitor and track
how you use our website. We understand the value of your privacy; we have invested significant resources
into protecting your data.
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.
We do not specifically market to children under 13, intentionally or otherwise.
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.
We adhere to the Fair Information Practices. We encrypt your personal information using a combination of
encryption algorithms to ensure that your information is kept safe and secure. Although highly unlikely, it
is possible for an unauthorized person to gain access to the data stored in any of our databases. All
sensitive information contained within any database is encrypted prior to being saved to the database making
it practically impossible to read the data in plain text as it was originally entered into said database. In
the event of a data breach, we will notify all users via email within seven (7) business days. We will also
post a notification on the homepage of our website within seven (7) business days.
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires 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.
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.
-
Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
-
We may also send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
-
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has
occurred.
We are 100% CANSPAM compliant! To be CANSPAM compliant, we agree to:
-
NOT use false or misleading subjects.
-
NOT use false or misleading email addresses as the sender of the email.
-
Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.

Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
