Children Under the Age of 13

We strive to educate parents and kids about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Website. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use our Website. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information through our Website, and we recommend that parents discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don’t know.

 

By visiting our Website or by permitting your child to use our Website, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Other than online contact information required to obtain parental consent, we do not collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 unless the child’s parent or legal guardian has first provided us with consent for that child to use our Website and disclose personal information to us. If you are a user under the age of 13, please do not send us any personal information if we have not obtained prior consent from your parent or guardian. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.
