Online Privacy Policy for CHILDREN UNDER 13
This policy is adopted in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act for children 12 and younger. This policy applies to America SCORES' collection and use of information obtained online, via this web site, from children under the age of 13. America SCORES does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children online without proper parental/guardian notice. We do not condition a child's participation in any online activity on the child's disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. If a child wants to subscribe to our online publications, we may ask the child for such identifiable information as name and email address, to permit us to fulfill the child's subcription request. If a child wants to enter a contest or to submit poetry or other works online, we may ask the child for such identifiable information as name, address, email address, and/or age, to permit us to process the entry or submission. We use the information submitted for those purposes and to review the effectiveness of our communications and programs. If a child requests additional information about America SCORES programs or affiliates, we will try to fulfill the request. We do not share personal information submitted online by a child with third parties, except as necessary to respond to or fulfill a request or to operate a promotion entered by the child. Those third parties agree to maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of the data we disclose to them, for those limited purposes.
America SCORES will ask parents for their consent as required under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Parents/guardians may review and ask us to delete any personally identifiable information we have collected from their children online. Parents/guardians may instruct us not to collect personal information from their child(ren) online. Parents/guardians also have the option to consent to our online collection and use of the child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents/guardians should send an email to [email protected] if they want to ask us any questions about our procedures or take any of these actions. If we make any material changes in the collection, use or disclosure practices to which parents/guardians have already consented, we will seek further consent from the parents/guardians.
ONLINE SUBMISSIONS FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13
We may give children the opportunity to submit essays, poems, stories, photographs or other materials online, for the 'Changing the World' online essay/poem contest or similar promotions. The child's name, age, grade, and address are collected solely for the purpose of review of the entries, selection of winners, and prize fulfillment. We ask children who send submissions to give us that data, as well as the name and email address of a parent or guardian whom we can notify if the child submits an entry. We may post the submitted entries on this or affiliated web sites. We will not use the child's full name in web site postings. Before posting a photograph or any other personally identifiable information, we require a signed parental/guardian permission form. If a child sends us an online submission, we use his/her personal information only to process the submission and operate the promotion. We may share that personal information with our co-sponsors and third parties, as necessary to operate the promotion and award the prizes. Our co-sponsors and third parties also agree to maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of the data we disclose to them for those limited purposes. We routinely delete the email addresses of children who send us emails via the web site after we respond, unless we obtain parental/guardian permission to retain the information or send the child additional information about America SCORES programs.
