We are committed to protecting the online privacy of children, and our website is not directed to children. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information form children under the age of 13 without first obtaining parental consent. We urge children to obtain their parents' permission before sending any information about themselves over the Internet.
Prior to providing any personally identifiable information, either by placing an order, setting up a Cyndibands.com account, or participating in any other activity offered through the Site, children under the age of 13 must have a "Parent" or "Legal Guardian" complete and return a Parental Consent Form by regular mail to 2535 W 237th St Suite 115, Torrance, CA 90505. This consent form states that "Parent" or "Legal Guardian," by his or her signature, consents to the collection and transfer of the child's personally identifiable information provided. The "Parent" or "Legal Guardian" may revoke this consent at any time by sending a letter to the same address revoking their consent.
For orders placed by children under the age of 13 with parental consent, we will only collect and use information (e.g., e-mail address, mailing address, payment method and details) to process and fulfill orders and to provide notification or order status.
In the event children under the age of 13 are eligible, with parental consent, to participate in certain activities offered through our Site, we will only collect and use information (e.g., e-mail address, mailing address, name, age) to the extent that it is necessary to administer the activity. We will never require that a child disclose more information than is necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of participation.
Information collected pursuant to this section with parental consent may also be shared with trusted service providers as specified in this Privacy Policy and may be used for internal review purposes in aggregate. We will not otherwise disclose information collected from children under the age of 13.
Please contact us with any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or information we have collected pursuant to this section.
We also remind parents to carefully review the privacy policies of all web sites that their children visit, including those web sites linking to or from our Site. Any information provided to these web sites will be subject to the privacy policy posted at that site. The fact that another web site has established a link to our Site is not an endorsement of the site's privacy policy by Cyndibands.com.
