CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the personal
information of children under the age of 13. This applies to individually
identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full
name, home address, e-mail address, telephone number or any other information
that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also
cover other types of information—for example, hobbies, interests and information
collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms—when they are
tied to individually identifiable information. It is important for you to
understand this law; we encourage you to read more about COPPA.
Note to Parents on Our Privacy Policy
Girl Scouts of Cranford is committed to providing a safe, secure, and fun online
experience for children who visit our site. We are dedicated to safeguarding any
personal information collected online and to helping parents and children have
positive experiences on the Internet. Consistent with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior
verifiable parental consent.
Parents can revoke their consent and ask that information about their children
be deleted from the site by contacting us via e-mail. To do
this or to review personal information collected from children, we must verify
the identity of the requesting parent. When a parent revokes consent, we will
stop collecting, using, or disclosing information from that child. To respect
the privacy of parents, information collected and used for the sole purpose of
obtaining verifiable parental consent or providing notice is not maintained in
retrievable form by the site if parental consent is not obtained after a
reasonable time.
Girl Scouts of Cranford believes it is good policy not to collect more personally
identifiable information from children under 13 than is necessary for them to
participate in our online activities (where applicable). In addition, be aware that all sites that
are targeted to children under 13 are prohibited by law from collecting more
information than they need.
