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 compliance with Fair Information Practices, the following are the responsive actions that will occur should we become aware of a data breach on our website:
Within 7 business days, we will notify you on our website, or via email, or a phone call, or by in-site notification, or by USPS mail.

The Individual Redress Principle notes 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 in courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
