Our data breach handling policies comply with both the Fair Information Practices in the US and GDPR in the EU.
Should a data breach occur, we will notify you about it via email within 72 hours of finding out about the breach or make a public announcement. If the leaked data was unencrypted and is thought to pose a danger to your rights or freedoms, we will also report the breach to the relevant regulatory body within 72 hours.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the USA to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any company in 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 or companies with whom it is being shared. According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
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.
