SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS OF KIDS UNDER 13: We may collect the name of a child or parent and online contact
information in order to obtain parental consent from parents of kids under
13 and/or to provide parental notice by providing a link to this Privacy
Policy wherever we have requested personally identifiable information from
kids under 13. If a visitor indicates that he/she is under the age of 13,
he/she will be asked to supply a parent's or guardian's e-mail address. In
this case, the parent or guardian will receive an e-mail message
containing instructions on how to enable the child's registration and
until the parent or guardian enables the child's registration, the account
is disabled. If we do not receive the parent's or guardian's said consent
within a reasonable time, we delete this information from our records. If
and when we have obtained verifiable consent from a parent, we only ask
for and collect from a kid under 13 personally identifiable information
that is reasonably necessary for that kid to participate in any given
activity online. We also may collect this information to respond to a
specific request from a kid under 13. Once we respond to a request from a
kid under 13, we may not contact that child again and the information is
deleted from our records. We take very seriously the safety of children,
especially those under 13 and may also collect this information to protect
that safety. If we do collect information to protect the safety of your
child, we provide notice to you and we do not use that information for any
other purpose. You can always ask us to review or delete any of your
child's information and you can refuse to permit further collection or use
of your child’s information at any time by sending us a written request at
the Contact Information below. However, if you ask us to delete your
child's information that is necessary to participate in our activities, we
may have to ask your child not to participate in our activities. To What Web sites does this Privacy Policy Apply?

In addition, the terms shall only apply to Web sites owned and operated by Silver Leaf Books, LLC or any of its affiliated, subsidiary or related corporate entities, as well as to some of our selected corporate partners and licensees who have agreed to abide by our Privacy Policy. It does not otherwise apply to any independently operated Web sites, for which separate privacy policies and terms of use shall apply.
