California Privacy Acts

The California Online Privacy Protecting Act (CalOPPA) mandates that commercial websites post a privacy statement. (See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.) In compliance, CAG allows visitors to visit the site anonymously and includes this full statement of our privacy policy. Users will be notified of any changes to our privacy policy by visiting the Privacy Policy Page. Users may also change their personal information by emailing or contacting us by another way (phone, mail, in person).

The CA “Shine the Light’ law (Civil Code section 1798.83) requires businesses to respond to requests from customers inquiring about practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for third party direct marketing use. CAG adheres to such requests. CAG does not disclose information to third parties unless otherwise specified in this policy above.

​

Third Party Providers

CAG retains appropriate and qualified third-party providers to better serve our customers and students. These may include contractors who provide our database services, enable class registration and ticketing. Similarly, on-line payment transactions are handled by a secure and qualified vendor to process payment transactions and to detect possible fraudulent use of a payment card. These service providers receive any information provided through our website. Information about purchase, payment card, mobile, computer, software and their location may be accessed for fraud detection purposes. By submitting your information, you agree to this. CAG requires all vendors to maintain security of information and restricts vendors from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by CAG.
