Statement from the website designer: This site can be viewed in any web browser. However, your personal computer and/or browser settings may alter the way this website appears. Each browser has its own quirks and bugs. For instance, the shades of blue on this site may appear blue-green or green on an android tablet, or some headings may move into the next line if you have ultra magnification. Seriously, we have no control over your devices or the browsers, but unless you have some crazy-weird settings, then you should be able to see everything as it was intended.

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. 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 this page.

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.

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.

We collect your email address in order to:

• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

• Send you blog posts and/or newsletters depending upon what you voluntarily subscribed to on this website.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

• Include the city, state, and country of our location.

• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

Accessibility Statement for www.rawsandra.com.

Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Raw Sandra's website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional Information:

Decorative images that have no bearing on the content of a page, including those that contain text on the image, have been indicated as such. These may include decorative background images, or extra graphics used throughout the site, including in blog posts. The content within the pages and posts clearly describes what the page or post is about.
Videos show images, and text, and have background music, most of the time without lyrics. At this time, it is not feasible for a transcript of the videos to be created.
Images where a click on the image leads to another page or off-site have alt-text, and we continue to make updates and improvements as the need is discovered.
