Bouncy, ping-pongy kids won t sit still if a video isn t interesting no matter how much great info is included. Who can blame them? Nowadays too many “educational” shows include questionable morals, too much sex, and too much fluff. At Homeschool Lounge all of our videos have been watched and reviewed by Logan, Jordan, and\/or myself. As you can see below, these are the options on YouTube that we use with every video on this site.<\/p>\n
As a parent myself, I want to make sure to only provide wholesome material that is also fun.\u00a0This is our policy to you. To always follow these guidelines.<\/p>\n
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:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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: \u2022 Send information, respond to inquiries, and\/or other requests or questions. \u2022 Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders \u2022 We may also send you additional information related to your product and\/or service. \u2022 Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following: \u2022 NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses \u2022 Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way \u2022 Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters \u2022 Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used. \u2022 Honor opt-out\/unsubscribe requests quickly \u2022 Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email<\/p>\n
