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:
