USE OF SERVICES BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13
Although we are a nonprofit organization and our website and services are not necessarily directed to children under the age of 13, children under age 13 may access and use our Website and Services. We advise children under the age of 13 to contact us directly by phone (916-787-7678) rather than submitting personal data via the Website. The federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) sets requirements to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section “guardians”) about our practices for collecting, using and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”). This section only applies to children under age 13 and supplements the other provisions of this Privacy Policy which apply to teens and adults.
This section hereby notifies users and guardians of: (1) the types of information we may collect through the Website which could be from and about children; (2) how we use the information we collect; (3) our practices for disclosing that information; (4) our practices for notifying users/guardians (if applicable) when we collect personal information from children, including how consent may be revoked; and (5) all operators that collect or maintain children’s information through this Website.
Information We Collect From Children. Children can access many parts of the Website and Services and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some Services and features enable us to collect certain information such as name and email. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies (described above), to automatically collect information from users (including children) when they visit or use the Services. We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to submit information to us and we do not condition a child’s participation or ability to contact us on the disclosure of any personal information.
Information We Collect Directly. We optionally collect name and email address. Any user may opt out of providing name and/or email by clicking Anonymous.
Automatic Information Collection and Tracking. Please see the “How is Your Personal Data Collected” section above.
How We Use Children’s Information. We may use the personal information we collect from, or about, your child to contact the child.
Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information. Please see the “Disclosures of Your Personal Data” section above.
Accessing and Correcting a Child’s Personal Information. Please see the “Your Legal Rights” section below for more information on how to request access and corrections to a child’s Personal Data.
DATA SECURITY
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. We also limit access to Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. These individuals will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to or through our Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected incident involving Personal Data and will notify you and any applicable regulator of an incident involving Personal Data where we are legally required to do so.
DATA RETENTION
We maintain one or more databases to store your Personal Data and may keep such information indefinitely in order to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In some circumstances you may ask us to delete your Personal Data. See the section below regarding Your Legal Rights for more information. In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
