In addition, our “Contact Us" page allows users to send us correspondence, but your child must either check the box indicating that she is over 13, or that she is under 13 and has your consent to send the correspondence. When the box indicating a user is under age 13 is checked on either the registration or Contact Us page, the child will be required to provide a full mailing address and fax number for his or her parent or guardian.

Use, Collection and Restriction of Personally Identifiable Information of Children Under 13
