3. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY NOTICE

What Personal Information do we Collect?

We offer many features on our Sites or in our outlets, which do not require a child to provide any personal information.  On occasion, however, we may collect personal information, such as an email address, a postal address or telephone number from children as part of an activity.

We will not collect personal information from a child under the age of 13, without the consent of a parent or guardian.  If parent or guardian consent is required, we will collect the email address of the parent or guardian so we can provide notice of our information practices and/or seek the parent’s or guardian’s consent.

Examples of information we collect are as follows:

  1. We may collect a child’s email address to notify the child if he or she has won or lost a contest, competition or prize.

  2. We may collect a child’s email address in order to respond to a request from the child on a one-time basis, such as to send the child a screen saver.  In this case we promptly delete the email address from our system once we have responded, and we do not use the address for any other purpose.

We will not condition a child’s participation in any online activity on the child’s disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

How Do We Use the Personal Information It Collects?

We use email addresses submitted by a child in order to respond to the child’s request or to notify the child if he or she has won or lost a contest, competition, prize draw, or sweepstakes they entered.  We use the email address of a parent or guardian in order to provide the parent notice of our information practices or to seek the parent’s or guardian’s consent.

How Do We Share Personal Information?

We may share a child’s personal information with third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security or integrity of our Online Services, take precautions against liability, or respond to judicial process or requests from other governmental authorities, or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Requests from Parents Regarding Our Children’s Privacy Practices

Parents may review personal information we have collected from their child that has not been deleted, and can request that the personal information be deleted from our records if it has not been already.  Parents also may refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s personal information, when the parent has previously provided consent.  To do so, please contact us at the address, telephone number or email address provided below with your request.

We urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children’s online activities. If you have any questions about our children’s privacy practices, please contact us at the address or via the website link provided below.
