We don’t keep your (or your child’s) email address unless you tell us it is okay. If a child signs up for an email newsletter that requires multiple online contacts with the child, we also ask the child for the parent’s or legal guardian’s email address, so we can notify you and give you an opportunity to opt out.
We may ask for certain information that is not personally identifiable, like city and state, birth month and day, gender, hobbies, etc., to help us understand our visitors and improve our products and services.
We also use technology and work with third-party technology partners to facilitate the ability to recognize returning visitors, for research, and for other purposes, including to screen under-age visitors from certain features or areas intended for older visitors, and to get certain automatically collected information.
