Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16
through our Service, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so.
These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we
encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and
instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their
permission.
We do not sell the personal information of Consumers We actually know are less than 16
years of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the "right to
opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the
parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the
sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the
right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us
by contacting Us.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us
with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to
delete that information.
