LEGAL DISCLOUSRES:
Under U.S. Federal Law (as reflected in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), WE DO NOT COLLECT OR STORE ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM INDIVIDUALS THAT WE KNOW ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 13. If you wish further information concerning privacy policies in general, and concerning online social networking and safety, you should visit the following website: http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/index.html. You must be at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside in order to register for or use the services available on our site. Fare33 staff are parents and Fare33 believes that parents should play a central role in their child on-line activities and should monitor those activities to ensure that sites visited by their child, or minor, are respecting their child privacy. California law requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California users who ask about business practices related to disclosing Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. The California “Shine the Light” law further requires us to allow California residents to opt out of certain disclosures of Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Additionally, please be aware that beginning on January 1, 2020, pursuant California Civil Code Section 1798, et seq., known as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) all consumers in California will have the right to request that a business which collects a consumer’s personal information disclose to that consumer the categories and specific pieces of personal information the business has collected. Additionally, the CCPA grants a consumer the right to request that a business that sells the consumer’s personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, disclose to that consumer: (1) the categories of personal information that the business collected about the consumer; (2) the categories of personal information that the business sold about the consumer and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each third party to whom the personal information was sold; and (3) the categories of personal information that the business disclosed about the consumer for a business purpose. Finally, the CCPA grants a consumer the right, at any time, to direct a business that sells personal information about the consumer to third parties not to sell the consumer’s personal information (i.e., an “opt out” right). The CCPA sets out fairly detailed guidelines about how a company must communicate to consumers the right to opt out, how those companies can de-identify the data they seek to collect to work within the CCPA, and numerous other details about the safe-guarding and treatment of the at-issue data.
