ARE THERE SPECIAL RULES ABOUT CHILDREN'S PRIVACY?

We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the Internet and we comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a child has provided our website with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian call 1-800-541-7995 or contact us and we will delete the information about the child from our files.

WHAT ABOUT WEB SITE SECURITY?

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.
