Wherever required, we will obtain your prior consent before using your information for a purpose that is different from the purposes for which we originally collected it.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying regulations protect the privacy of children using the internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect information from persons under the age of 18. The website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from persons under the age of 18.
It is possible that we could receive information about persons under the age of 18 by the fraud or deception of a third party. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will where required by law to do so, immediately obtain the appropriate parental consent to use that information or, if we are unable to obtain such parental consent, we will delete the information from our servers. If you would like to notify us of our receipt of information about persons under the age of 18, please do so by contacting us by using the details at the top of this policy.
