Children's Guidelines
We care about children and understand that they have special privacy needs. Therefore,
we have adopted the following privacy policy regarding children:
- We will NOT collect, use, or distribute to third parties personally identifiable
information without prior verifiable parental consent.
- We will NOT give the child access to unmonitored chat rooms, message boards, email
accounts, or other services that would give the child the ability to publicly post or
otherwise distribute personally identifiable information without prior verifiable parental
consent
- When verifiable parental consent is not obtained, we will only use the online contact
information (such as email) to:
- Respond directly to the child's request on a one-time basis and not use that information
to re-contact the child for other purposes.
- Request the name or online contact information of a parent for the purpose of obtaining
verifiable parental consent or providing parental notification.
- Respond more than once directly to a specific request from a child (such as in the case
where a child requests a newsletter subscription) and the
information gathered from this request will not be used to re-contact the child for
other purposes. We will use our best efforts to provide parental notification, which will
include the nature and intended use as well as an opportunity for the parent to prevent
the use of the information and participation in the activity.
- We will NOT entice the child to divulge more information than is needed to participate
in any activity, game, or service.
- We will provide the parent a description of the specific types of
personally
identifiable information collected from their child upon request. We will allow the parent
to refuse further use or future online collection of personally identifiable information
and provide a way for a parent to obtain any personally identifiable information collected
from their child.
- We will provide notice to children in age appropriate terms of what personally
identifiable information is to be collected.
