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
