Bricks in Motion uses Google Adsense to serve ads on our website. This helps us generate revenue to keep Bricks in Motion running. Bricks in Motion also uses Google Analytics to keep track of activity on our site. By using our site, you agree to Google Analytics’ privacy policy.

	[i]Information we collect with Google Analytics:[/i]

		We collect non-user-identifiable data using the Google Analytics platform. This includes site activity, demographic data, and web browser information.

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.


[h2]California Online Privacy Protection Act: [/h2]
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: [url]http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf[/url]

               - Users can visit our site anonymously.
      [i]You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:[/i]
                -  On our Privacy Policy Page
      [i]Can change your personal information:[/i]
                - By logging in to your account
