8. AGE OF CONSENT

Kids Kicking Cancer takes special care to protect the privacy needs of children under the age of 13 (“Child End Users”) and we encourage parents to be an active participant in their child’s online activities. Kids Kicking Cancer abides by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other relevant laws. Kids Kicking Cancer only collects PII from Child End Users for the sole purpose of performing internal operations of the Services. If we discover that we have unknowingly collected additional personal information from a Child End User we will delete it. If you have knowledge that we have collected personal information from a Child End User, please contact us privacy@kidskickingcancer.org, but before any information is disclosed, the parent/guardian will be required to provide verification of his/her identity and authority related to any request. We will only send the information to the parent’s/guardian’s email address in the registration file.

When collecting email addresses, we will not request the email address of any Child End User. Instead, we will require the parent’s/guardian’s email address. Please do not provide us with the email address of any Child End User.

If the jurisdiction that the child is located in has a different age requirement for online consent, we will comply with that age requirement. If there are competing age requirements in a jurisdiction, for example federal versus state law, we will comply with the older age requirement for obtaining consent of the parent/guardian and all children that are under the age for online consent will be deemed a Child End User in that jurisdiction.

Prior to allowing any Child End User access to Breath Brake® or any other Services, the parent/guardian will be required to contact Kids Kicking Cancer in order to verify his/her identity and authority to consent to the Child End User’s use of Breath Brake® or any other Services.

Upon verification of the identity and authority of the parent/guardian of a Child End User, the parent/guardian will have the right to:

• Permit the Child end User to use Breath Brake®
• Access the Child End User’s PII and to have the PII deleted
• Terminate the Child End User’s access to Breath Brake® and any other Services
