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:
