This policy only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the provisions of our general Privacy Policy. The general Privacy Policy still applies to children and the terms that are defined in it have the same meaning in this policy; but, the additional provisions of this policy only apply to children under the age of 13 and only our general Privacy Policy applies to teens and adults.
Information We Collect from Children
Children can access many parts of the Website and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features may be available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them.

To register with this website, a child must provide us with the following information: the child’s name, birth date, and a parent’s e-mail address. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional where we request it.

Social Features
The Website offers limited social features, including posting reviews or comments to public areas of the Website (“Social Features”).
