without prior verifiable parental consent. A parent or guardian may revoke
their consent and ask that information about their child be deleted from the
site by contacting our offices via mail (see: address below) or email at

children, we must verify the identity of the requesting parent. When a parent

information about that child. To respect the privacy of parents, information
collected and used for the sole purpose of obtaining verifiable parental consent
or providing notice is not maintained in retrievable form by the site if

provided we do not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. We
