We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use our Website. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information through our Website, and we recommend that parents discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don’t know.
