COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control of the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old. The Federal Trade Commission 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 the age of 13 and the Sites and the App are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at info@teamsafeapp.com. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files. If you have created a profile for a minor under the age of 18, you represent and warrant to us that you are the parent or legal guardian for that minor with the right to provide us the Personal Information of that minor.
Our Fair Information Practices
The Sites, App, and Services rely on the Internet and mobile networks, which are not always secure. We will always use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of any information we collect, but we cannot ensure that the use of the Sites, App, or Services are secure or that your Personal Information or any other data that we may have will be secure. In the event we become aware of a security breach, we will notify you via email within 7 business days of becoming aware of such an incident. If you feel your account or Personal Information may have been compromised, or you discover abuse or misuse of the Sites, the App, or the Services, please report it immediately to info@teamsafeapp.com.
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires 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 to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
Identity Theft Prevention
Identity theft is of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your login information, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about identity theft, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.ftc.gov.
CAN SPAM Act
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 create and identify your account, send you information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree that if we transmit advertising-related messages we will
Ÿ not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses,
Ÿ identify these messages as an advertisement in some reasonable way,
