We
have developed this policy statement to reflect our
commitment to kids safety, security and privacy. We
adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
which became effective on April 21, 2000. The regulations
apply to the online collection of personal information from
children 12 years and younger. The Act spells out what
website operators, need to include in privacy policy, when
and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent and what
responsibilities website operators, have to protect and
secure children’s privacy and safety online.
COPPA applies to individual identifiable information about a
child (12 or younger) that is collected online, such as full
name, home address, email address, telephone number or any
other information that would allow someone to identify or
contact a kid. The Act also applies to other types of
information, such as hobbies, interests and user information
gathered through the use of cookies and other methods of
tracking, when they are tied to individually identifiable
information.
MapleOnes Contact Forms and Prize Contests
Our
registration forms requires kids to provide us with contact
information: name, email address and demographic
information (age, gender, country). This information is used
to get in touch with users if necessary and to send age and
gender appropriate information to the kids. For kids 12 and
under we also collect their parent/guardians email
address. We send the parent/guardian a confirmation email
that the child is registered with MapleOnes Inc. The
parent/guardian's email address is retained in our database
for future contact.
Parents or guardians can review their kid's personal
information once we receive verifiable identification.
Verifiable consent can be given by one of the following
methods: 1. following the link provided in the confirmation
email, 2. provide a signed form via postal mail or facsimile
or even giving us a call. Upon request, parents may delete
or prohibit the further collection of their child's personal
information by contacting us at:
privacy@MapleOnes.com
and clearly stating the nature of their inquiry.
Another way that MapleOnes accesses information about kids
is through IP addresses. An IP address is something that is
unique to your computer network and is used to collect
information about what city and country you are in. It does
not give any personal identification information, just tells
us what city someone is browsing from.
MapleOnes hosts regular contests in which we ask kids for
contact information (like their e-mail address). This
information is solely used to contact winners. Contact
information collected for contests is deleted once winners
have been confirmed. Participation in contests is open to
all kids.
Please contact us if you need any more information about our
Privacy Policy. |
