Section 5: COPPA and CalOPPA

This site not intended for individuals under the age of 13.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

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, and per our Terms and Conditions, children under 13 years of age are not allowed to play Cyber Nations, and all users must specifically agree that they are 13 years of age or older before playing the game.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States 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.

In accordance with CalOPPA, Planet Realm LLC agrees that:

Users can visit our site anonymously.

A link to this Privacy Policy will be maintained on the site home page.

The Privacy Policy link includes the word "Privacy" and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

When privacy policy changes, this fact will be posted and timestamped at the top of this Privacy Policy page.

Users are usually able to change some of their personal information by logging in to their account. Specifically, users with active accounts can change their current e-mail address. However, users of accounts that are perma-deleted by moderators, banned from the site, or otherwise permanently barred from the public site are thereafter not able to log in and change their personal information. All information may be archived in periodic private system backups.

Section 6: Fair Information Practices

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 line with Fair Information Practices, Planet Realm LLC will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur: users will be notified via a message posted on the site within seven business days.

Planet Realm LLC also agrees 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.

Section 7: 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.
