Privacy of Children
CRF is committed to protecting children’s online privacy and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Therefore, CRF does not collect personal information from children under 13. We encourage parents of children under 13 to regularly check and monitor their children's use of e-mail and other activities online. We also encourage parents to consider using parental control tools available from online service providers and software manufacturers. These tools may be used to prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information when using the Internet.
