7. Information collected from children
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves to Lemon-Aid Project. Parents, please discuss this Privacy Policy with your children so that they will better understand how to use the Site and the information they may be asked to provide when using the Site.
Lemon-Aid Project is committed to compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) standards regarding any section of the Site that may be directed to children under the age of 13. We take children's privacy seriously and encourage parents to take an active role in protecting their children's privacy and online experience at all times. Except as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Policy, we do not collect personal information from users of the Site.
The Design section of the Lemon-Aid Project’s Site (https://www.thelemonaidproject.org/design.html) (“Design Section”) contains content that may be directed to children under COPPA.
Lemon-Aid Project may collect and store other personal information about children if this information is submitted by a child with prior parental consent or by the parent or guardian of the child. If the Design Section or any other portion of the Site is directed to children under COPPA, we may ask users to verify their dates of birth before collecting any personal information from them. Those users that indicate they are children are taken through a parental consent process. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to provide any information about yourself without parental or guardianship consent.
Lemon-Aid Project may collect and store the following types of personal information about a child when submitted by a child with prior parental consent or by the parent or guardian of the child: first and/or last name, email address, phone number, parent's or guardian's name, and parent's or guardian's email address. Lemon-Aid Project may also collect the child's mailing address and/or telephone number when necessary to respond to an inquiry or fulfill a transaction, such as notifying the winner of a contest.
Lemon-Aid Project may also collect and store non-personal identifiers (e.g., cookies, IP addresses, etc.) from children without parental consent for the purpose of supporting the internal operations of the Site or as otherwise permitted under COPPA.
Lemon-Aid Project does not condition any child’s participation in any part of the Site or activity (such as contests) requiring a child to disclose personal information. We do not ask for more information than is necessary for a child to participate in any activity.
If we discover that we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without parental or guardianship consent, we will remove that information as soon as possible. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child (who is under the age of 13) has provided information without parental or guardianship consent, he or she should contact:
