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 conceivable 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.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the
following:
0.1. users can visit our site anonymously;
0.2. our
Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy”, and can easily be found on the homepage
of our website;
0.3. users will be notified of any privacy policy changes
on our Privacy Policy Page;
0.4. users are able to change their personal
information by emailing us at hello@vowsandwows.co.zw.
Our Policy on “Do Not Track”
Signals:
We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant
cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place. Do Not
Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not
want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences
or Settings page of your web browser.
If you are a California resident, you are entitled to learn what data we collect about
you, ask to delete your data and not to sell (share) it. To exercise your data

circumstances, a transfer of personal information to a third party, or within our
family of companies, without monetary consideration may be considered a “sale” under
California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request
disclosure or deletion at any time.
If you submit a request to
stop selling your personal information, we will stop making such
transfers.
Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your
