Children’s Privacy

Our Website is intended to be appropriate for general audiences and are not directed to children (usually considered to be under 13, depending on where you reside). We do not intentionally collect personal information from children without seeking any required parental approval in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, such as the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

We may ask you to provide age-related information in order to help us comply with laws like COPPA. For example, we may request your date of birth to determine whether COPPA requires us to obtain verifiable parental consent from your parent or guardian before allowing you to access the Website.

If a user indicates they are a COPPA minor, we’ll require that user to complete a parental approval process before continuing to access the Website. This process is designed to notify parents that their child has requested access to the Website, inform them about our privacy practices, offer them the opportunity to approve our collection and use of their child’s information as described in this policy, and describe the controls that we make available to them. 

Once a parent provides their consent, we’ll give them an opportunity to review and change important account settings that control how their child can interact with the Website. Parents are also generally free to change or revoke the choices they’ve previously made, and can review the personal information associated with their child’s account or request that we delete it from our systems. To submit these requests or ask us any other questions you may have about how we handle your child’s personal information, please see “How to Contact Us” below. Authorized child accounts are otherwise treated much like other Website accounts. They can generally play approved games, access communications and social features (like chat and friends lists), and freely interact with most of the Website.
