COPPA Compliance
Disclosure:
This Privacy Policy presumes that your website is not
directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect
personal identifiable information from them or allow others to do the same
through your site. If this is not true for your website or online service and
you do collect such information (or allow others to do so), please be aware
that you must be compliant with all COPPA regulations and guidelines in order
to avoid violations which could lead to law enforcement actions, including civil
penalties.
In order to be fully compliant with COPPA your website or
online service must fulfill other requirements such as: (i) posting a privacy
policy which describes not only your practices, but also the practices
of any others collecting personal information on your site or service — for
example, plug-ins or ad networks; (ii) include a prominent link to your privacy
policy anywhere you collect personal information from children;
(iii) include a description of parental rights (e.g. that you won’t
require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary, that
they can review their child’s personal information, direct you to delete it,
and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information,
and the procedures to exercise their rights); (iv) give parents “direct
notice” of your information practices before collecting information from
their children; and (v) obtain the parents’ “verifiable consent”
before collecting, using or disclosing personal information from a child. For
more information on the definition of these terms and how to make sure your

liability your company may face in relation to any COPPA compliance issues.
