Children Under the Age of 13

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, "COPPA") recommends but does not 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 suggests that we 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 website.

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

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Website or Apps that we use and their 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 Website or Apps that we use.

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 we consider reasonable.

Information We Collect Directly

A child may be required to provide us with the following information to register with this website: the child's first name, last name, birth date, and email address. We may 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 may enable registered users to communicate with others on or through this Website or Apps that we use through chat, email, and posting to group areas of the Site, App, or Service ("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 Website or Apps that we use and use certain of their 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 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.

register him or her with the Site or App;
communicate with him or her about activities or features of the Site or App that may be of interest;

To third parties we use to support the internal operations of our Site or App and who are bound by contractual or other obligations to use the information only for such purpose and to keep the information confidential.
If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.
If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of EAST, our stakeholders, or others, including to:
protect the safety of a child;
protect the safety and security of the Site or App; or
enable us to take precautions against liability.
