Children Under the Age of 13

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this policy, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information. This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy apply to teens and adults.

Children can access many parts of our products and services and their content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them. In addition, company uses certain technologies, (as otherwise stated in this policy), to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use our products and services.

For services intended for children, company obtains verifiable parental consent related to those users (either directly or as indicated by our Partners directing those child users). Adults are not allowed to access any children-directed services. At sign-up, a child (or parent, on behalf of a child) must provide us with the following information to register with our products or services: a selected randomly generated username for the child and a parent’s email address. Company may request additional information from children, but this information is optional. Company specifies whether information is required or optional when company requests it. Company may also combine non-personal information company collects through these technologies with personal information about parents or children that company collects online (see How Company Uses Information and Information Company Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies).

Company only collects as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and company does not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. Company support does not track and personal information obfuscation in compliance with COPPA, and do not knowingly store anything traceable or identifiable are stored on COPPA required clients.

At any time, parents or children may review a child’s personal information maintained by us, require us to correct or delete the personal information, and/or refuse to permit us from further collecting or using the child’s information.

Parents and children can review, change, or delete a child’s personal information by:

· Logging into that child’s account and visiting his or her account profile page.

· Sending us an email at privacy@ottera.tv. To protect privacy and security, company may require a requester to take certain steps or provide additional information to verify identity before company provides any information or make corrections.

A list of all operators that may collect or maintain personal information from children through our products or services will be provided upon written to privacy@ottera.tv. Please direct inquiries about any operator’s privacy practices and use of children’s information to the operator at its contact information provided on their website.

To the extent that certain products or services are not directed to children, company obtains confirmation from the user that they are not a child. Company does not knowingly collect or obtain information from children related to these products and services or through any other means besides our products or services not directed to children. If company learns company have collected or received personal information from a child without verification of parental consent related to these products and services, company will delete that information. If you believe company might have any information from or about a child in relation to these services, please email us at privacy@ottera.tv.
