The collection and use of personal information collected from children will be disclosed and used in the same ways described above in sections 1-10 of this Policy.

Do we ever disclose your personal information that we collect from children to third parties?

Our intention is not to disclose your information other than to our own employees and third party contractors who are bound by agreement with us to maintain the confidentiality of such information and who need the information in order for us to use the information as stated in this policy.

Before allowing a child to use a service of on our Site that might result in the public disclosure of the child’s information to third parties on the internet, we require a high level of verification to confirm that the parent has given permission for the child’s participation in such services. We may require a parent to provide us with credit card information, speak to a trained telephone operator, or return by postal mail or fax a signed consent form. Parents have the option not to consent to the disclosure of their child’s contact information to third parties.

Do we require any other information other than what we need in order for a child to participate?

No, we only require the minimum necessary.
