This
statement discloses the privacy practices for portions
of Freeservers.com directed at children under 13.
Freeservers.com
will NOT:
-
Collect online contact information from a user under
13 without prior verifiable parental consent, which
includes an opportunity for the parent to prevent
use of the information and participation in the activity.
When we do not obtain prior verifiable parental consent,
online contact information will be used only to directly
respond to the child's request and will not be used
to contact the child for other purposes.
- Collect
personally identifiable offline contact information
from users under 13 without prior verifiable parental
consent.
-
Distribute to third parties any personally identifiable
information collected from a child under 13 without
prior verifiable parental consent.
-
Give the ability to a child under 13 to send e-mail,
create personal Web pages, and participate in forums
or kids chat rooms without prior verifiable parental
consent.
- Entice
a child under 13 by the prospect of a special game,
prize, or other activity to divulge more information
than is needed to participate in such activity.
We will also place prominent notice wherever personally
identifiable information is collected, requesting
the child to ask a parent for permission to proceed.
COPPA
Because
we care about the safety and privacy of children online,
we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), effective April 20, 2000. COPPA
and its accompanying FTC regulation establish United
States federal law that protects the privacy of children
using the Internet.
We
offer the following for the protection of children under
13:
-
Freeservers.com will only collect personal information
from persons who register for services provided by
Freeservers.com. These services are not directed toward
children, and the initial registration process requires
the registrant to indicate that his/her age is at
least 13.
- Freeservers.com
does offer a listing of Web sites created by third
parties and hosted by Freeservers.com that are aimed
at children under 13. While Freeservers.com cannot
be held responsible for the content of any Web site
created by a third party, before a site is listed,
it is manually screened to check that it is appropriate
for the category.
- Since
Freeservers.com is not responsible for the content
of Web sites created by a third party, Freeservers.com
cannot ensure that such Web sites have a COPPA children's
privacy policy in place. Therefore, in the listing
of sites directed at children, Freeservers.com has
placed a warning notice to children that they should
not give out personal information without their
parents' consent.
- If
any parent believes that information about his/her
child was collected by Freeservers.com prior to
the effective date of COPPA, or was mistakenly collected
thereafter, the parent can contact Freeservers.com,
using the information given below, in order to find
out what that information was and may request to
have such information deleted. In order to ensure
the safety of the child in question, Freeservers.com
will require verification of the parent's identity.
Freeservers.com is owned and operated by North
Sky, Inc. North Sky, Inc. is the sole operator
collecting information through Web sites owned
and operated by Freeservers.com. If you have
any questions regarding this policy or the safety
of kids at Freeservers.com, please contact us
