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 any 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 or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' 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 the age of 13 years old. 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.

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 you via email
• Within 7 business days
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.

Watched a webinar called, "Terrifying Technology Tales" that covered recent malware and and ransomware attacks that happened this year. It's harder to defend against these things than it is to be the attacker. To attack you only have to find one c***k in the armor. To be on the defense you need to find and remediate them all.

Having a great time with my new Red Firewalla firewall. There are so many controls and things to do with it. It is monitoring my network traffic, up-loads and down-loads and it is collecting alerts and stats. Here is a picture of the dashboard that I use on my phone. I can see what's going on without having to be at home or in front of a computer. I like that. Have you ordered yours yet? Here's the link again for you to go and look at their website and other models without having to find my previous post: https://bit.ly/3vrKcKN

Update: Red Firewalla was a breeze to get setup. The instructions and diagrams on their website are beautiful works of art. Clear explanations and awesome pictures / diagrams. I plugged in the device to my router and to power. Downloaded the app to my phone. The Firewalla paired without a hitch. It took about five minutes to get itself all set up and working. Piece of cake! 😎

Today I received my new "Red Firewalla" firewall. This is the smallest one that Firewalla offers. It is only $119 and they will set you up on a three month payment plan so that it is easily affordable. Tonight I just cracked open the box. Tomorrow I will put it through it's paces. If you want to check out the specs and all it can do go to https://firewalla.com/?rfsn=6171258.68d62e

Sometimes, I've noticed that only the account that installs an application can make changes to the core configs of that app. This is not so much true with end user utilities but rather server apps.
