Your use of the Site and/or Services is intended only for persons aged eighteen (18) years or older (nineteen (19) years of age in Alabama or Nebraska).
Protecting children on the Internet is very important to Affinity. For that reason, we do not intentionally collect information at the Sites from those users who we actually know are under 13, and no part of the Sites is intended to attract anyone under 13. Parents can be proactive and limit website access to their children by installing filtering software. Children's access to the Internet can permit them to visit inappropriate web sites and be exposed to unnecessary risks. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects children under the age of 13 from the online collection of personal information. Learn more about COPPA at the Federal Trade Commission's web site for children's privacy at http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/topics/kids-online-safety and by viewing the following link on Protecting Your Child's Privacy Online
If you believe that a child under thirteen (13) may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us immediately at Support@itsAffinity.com
