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.

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 you via email

• Within 7 business days

We will notify the users via in-site notification

• Within 1 business day

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.

EU Users
On 25 May 2018 a new European privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), comes into force. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations which offer goods and services to EU individuals or which collect and analyze their data. The GDPR applies no matter where the data is processed and where the organization processing data is physically located. It is meant to strengthen users’ rights in light of fast technological developments and increased globalization of business operations involving any form of processing personal data.

The GDPR regulates the “processing” of personal data for EU individuals, which includes collection, storage, transfer, or use. The term “personal data” is very broad under new regulation and extends to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (a “data subject”).

The GDPR also expands the concept of sensitive data (personal data revealing: racial/ethnic origin, political/religious etc views, trade union membership, health, sex life and sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data).
Recover Christianity’s Mystic Roots (RCMR5.org) can assure its users that it does not process any of such sensitive data.

RCMR5.org is committed to comply with EU data protection regulation and provides its EU users with a number of important assurances, such as the following:

• We will keep Your data within RCMR5.org and our trusted third parties except where disclosure is required by law, for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies.
• Some of our trusted third parties may need to transfer personal data overseas. Being responsible for its users’ personal data, The RCMR5.org always ensures that your data remains protected and secure when being transferred.
• org will process Your data only in accordance with legitimate purpose, i.e. to provide and improve our services. RCMR5 follows your instructions regarding storage and processing of your data. Importantly, the consent given by you to be provided with information about a variety of products and services RCMR5 offers can be withdrawn at any time.
• org users have the “right to be forgotten”, which means the right to require that RCMR5.org erases personal data about you in certain conditions, including if the personal data is no longer necessary for the original purpose of the processing or if the data subject withdraws consent for the processing.
• You will now also have the right, in certain circumstances, to receive the personal data that you have provided to RCMR5.org in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• org has and will maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure security of your data.
• org will notify you of a security incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the security incident.
