Raven~Symoné Presents COPPA Policy
In communicating directly with children over the Internet, we recognize the unique issues raised about the protection of their privacy. Raven~Symoné Presents is designed to comply with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) guidelines for web sites gathering personally identifiable information from children under 13. Consistent with these requirements and guidelines, we do NOT:
- collect,use or disclose on-line contact information from children under 13 except in connection with on-line promotions. Without prior parental consent, such on-line contact information will only be used to respond directly to the child's request and will not be used for other purposes;
- collect personally identifiable off-line contact information from children under 13 unless for purposes of awarding prizes and only then with prior parental consent;
- distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information of children under 13;
- enable children under 13 to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent; or
- entice children under 13 by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.
We do plan to offer promotions (e.g., contests, sweepstakes) on our web sites that appeal to children. In those cases where children under the age of 13 are allowed to participate, the child is instructed to first obtain his/her parent’s or legal guardian’s consent to participate and to enter the email address of his/her parent or guardian. If the game or contest involves the posting of screen names of the high scorers, we only allow high scorers who are under 13 to select a generic screen name from a list that has been developed in advance so as to prevent the disclosure of any personally identifiable information. If a child under 13 is selected as a prize-winner, an e-mail is sent to the parent or guardian. This e-mail contains a form that requests the child’s complete name and address and a parental permission form. For the child to receive the prize, the parent or guardian must first fill out and sign the form and then mail or fax it to the address or number indicated on the form. We do not use the information collected on the form for any purpose other than the completion of the promotion, and we do not share the information with anyone outside of Nabisco (other than suppliers, as explained above). We delete both the child’s and the parent’s personally identifiable information from our databases after a reasonable period of time once the promotion has ended. If we become aware that personally-identifiable Information from a child 13 years of age or younger has been collected without such child’s parent’s or guardian’s consent, we will delete such information from our database as soon as reasonably possible following such discovery by us.
We may permit a child to send us an e-mail or send an e-mail to a friend through our sites. We will respond to or deliver the e-mail, as the case may be, but we do not store the names, addresses, or the e-mails in our operational database, nor do we share this information with any third parties.
Parents can always ask to review any personal information about your child that we may have collected at one of our sites, have us delete this information (if we still have the information in our databases), and/or instruct us not to collect or use your child’s information in the future.
