    •
  • We may collect a child’s email address to respond to a request from the child on a one-time basis, such as to send the child a screen saver. In this case we promptly delete the email address from our system once we have responded, and we do not use the address for any other purpose.
We will not collect other personal information from a child under the age of [13], such as a [postal address] or telephone number, without the consent of a parent or guardian.
