Children should obtain permission from a parent before contacting AllGamecocks.com in any regard, especially before entering any personal information or requesting information. AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com does not permit children under the age of 13 to place any orders or communicate with us using this site without the express permission of their parents or legal guardian. If AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com detects that you are under the age of 13, you will be asked to have your parents or guardian send an email or fax to AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com to confirm authorization. Naturally, the safety of children is very important to AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com. AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com shares CARU’s (The Children’s Advertising Review Unit of the Better Business Bureau) concerns for child safety on the Internet. AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com does not solicit personally identifiable information from children. We are also in the process of developing new practices and effective parental-guardianship authorization procedures for children under the age of 13, pursuant to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, a new law passed by Congress last year that becomes effective later this year. The law requires sites that target children or know that a visitor to their site is a child under the age of 13 to follow certain new Federal Trade Commission rules that go into effect in April 2000. One of the rules is that a site must get parental or guardian consent in order to collect personally identifying information from children under the age of 13. We will shortly institute features that will enable a parent or legal guardian to create an account for a child and let AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com know that the child has permission from a parent or guardian before he or she is given an account. Once we enable these new procedures, AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com will impose the following children’s requirements when a visitor is under 13 years old: 1. Personal online contact information will not be collected without prior parental consent or parental notification, which will include an opportunity for the parent to prevent use of the information and the child’s participation in the activity. Without prior parental consent, online information will only be used to respond directly to the child's request for information and will not be used for other purposes. 2. Personally identifiable offline contact information will not be collected without prior parental consent. 3. In no case will any personally identifiable information be distributed to third parties or otherwise posted, consistent with AllPallmetto.com Allgamecocks.com’s current policy regarding all users. 4. AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com will not entice any child under the age of 13 to divulge more personal information than is needed to use the site or participate in any online activity by offering any special game, prize, incentive or other similar activity. AllPalmetto.com AllGamecocks.com uses the Yahoo! Store shopping basket.
