SIERRA HORIZONS PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who
are concerned with how their 'Personally identifiable information'
(PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and
information security, is information that can be used on its own
or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single
person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our
privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we
collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally
Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
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 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. - See more at:

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on

mechanism is in place. We don't honor them because:
Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow third party
behavioral tracking
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.
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 order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will
take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email
• Within 7 business days
We also agree 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.
