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.

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 the users via email within 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.

CCPA Overview

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is the first comprehensive privacy law in the United States. It provides a variety of privacy rights to California consumers. Businesses regulated by the CCPA will have a number of obligations to those consumers, including disclosures, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-like consumer data subject rights (DSRs), an “opt-out” for certain data transfers, and an “opt-in” requirement for minors.

The CCPA only applies to companies doing business in California which satisfy one or more of the following: (1) have gross annual revenue of more than $25 million, or (2) derive more than 50% of their annual income from the sale of California consumer personal information, or (3) buy, sell or share the personal information of more than 50,000 California consumers annually.

The CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020. However, enforcement by the California Attorney General (AG) will start on July 1, 2020.

The California AG will enforce the CCPA and will have the power to issue non-compliance fines. The CCPA also provides a private right of action which is limited to data breaches. Under the private right of action, damages can come in between $100 and $750 per incident per consumer. The California AG also can enforce the CCPA in its entirety with the ability to levy a civil penalty of not more than $2,500 per violation or $7,500 per intentional violation.

For customers in California, Gale Banks Engineering, Inc. will be acting as a “service provider” with respect to our Online Services and Professional Services offering. The terms in the privacy policy already meet the requirements for Service Providers under the CCPA and are generally sufficient to permit customers to continue to use our services. As such, no additional contractual changes are required for customers to be able to rely on Gale Banks Engineering, Inc. as a Service Provider under the CCPA.

Gale Banks Engineering, Inc. complies with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision of the Online Services, which would include the CCPA.
