If parents or guardians
provide consent for the child to submit personal data, we ask children only for the data necessary to participate in the program for which the child is registering.If you are under the age of 16, you should consult your parent or guardian BEFORE giving out your personal data. If you are uncertain about anything written in this section, you should consult your parent or guardian for help.
We recommend that parents/guardians regularly check and monitor your children's use of email and other on-line activities. Please be sure to inform your child not to provide personally identifiable data on-line, prior to obtaining your consent. All visitors under the age of 16, will be asked to supply a parent's or guardian's e-mail address. This is so that we can forward to the parents or guardians a copy of every e-mail we send to children. You can, at any point of time review your child's personal data and have it modified or deleted online. Alternatively, you can also ask us to delete any of your child's data by sending us a deletion request by e-mail/postal mail/ fax to the address given in contact details set out in the "Data Security, Accessing, Deleting or Correcting Data" section.
