Legal: Children's Online P.P. Act
Last Revision: December 29, 2009
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act is a United States federal law that was enacted October 21, 1998. The act, effective since April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information of persons under 13 years of age. Under the law, ProfileTwist may not collect personally identifiable information from children. This includes email addresses, first and last names, and a list of hobbies. Since ProfileTwist collects personally identifiable information from its users, high school students who are under the age of 13, may not participate in ProfileTwist altogether.
Students who are under 13 years of age and would like to participate on their school network and have their own account on ProfileTwist, must have their parents fill out a parental consent form. Once a student has his or her legal guardians fill out the consent form, the student may participate fully on ProfileTwist.
School districts are prohibited from registering students under the age of 13. This is clearly stated on the network registration page and should not be overlooked. If your school district accidently registered a student under 13, please contact our staff immediately.
