Children's Guidelines
We care about children and understand that they have special

policy regarding children:
1.
We will NOT collect, use, or distribute to third parties
personally identifiable information without prior verifiable
parental consent.
2.
We will NOT give the child access to unmonitored chat
rooms, message boards, e-mail 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.
3.
When verifiable parental consent is not obtained, we
will only use the online contact information (such as e-mail)
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.
c.
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 not 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.
4.
We will NOT entice the child to divulge more information
than is needed to participate in any activity, game, or
Service.
5.
Upon request, we will provide the parent a description
of the specific types of personally identifiable information
collected from their child. 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
