A notification message is sent to the parent or guardian of all guests who identify themselves as being between 13 and 17 years of age, which discloses the information provided by the teen and allows the parent or guardian to be aware of and participate in the teen’s on-line experience.

Accordingly, we reserve the right to change this policy at any time. If we decide to revise our privacy policy, we will post our changes to this privacy policy, and to any other place on our site that we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We may also e-mail our users of any changes that we make to this privacy policy.
