CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from children.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.
  • All operators that collect or maintain information from children through this cobalted.com Platform.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy.  The other provisions of this privacy policy apply to teens and adults.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Platform and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Platform.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Information We Collect Directly.

A child must provide us with the following information to register with this Platform: the child’s first and last name, child’s birth date, and a parent’s email 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 when we request it.

We enable registered users to communicate with others on or through this Platform through instant messaging, chat, email, and posting to public areas of the Platform (“Social Features”). The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. We do not monitor or review this content before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children’s use of social features.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking.

We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Platform and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:

  • One or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different Platforms, Websites and online services.
  • Information that identifies a device’s location (geolocation information).

We [also] may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

  • To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

Social Features.
