It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from children.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Website and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information.

In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Website.

If the user is under the age of 13, the user cannot continue.  We also require users to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from users, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.

We do not monitor or review content users provide to any social media sites before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom users share their information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children’s use of social features.
