Globe of Blogs ::: COPPA

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was signed into law on October 21, 1998 and is effective as of April 21, 2000. The law applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13. On October 21, 1999, the Federal Trade Commission, pursuant to the requirements of COPPA, published final rules in the Federal Register implementing COPPA. The new Rules spell out what a Web site operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online.

To address COPPA, we will no longer permit children under the age of 13 to register weblogs with the GlobeofBlogs.com service. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but it is simply the easiest way to deal with the problem of the legislation of parental responsibility.

Parents will also be prevented from registering their child's weblog in their child's name with our Service until the child reaches the age of 13. Children may register their own weblogs with GlobeofBlogs.com when they reach the age of 13.

We do not allow weblogs to be registered with our Service by children under 13. However, if you are aware that your young child is using our Service and would like their Content removed from our Service, please use our contact form to send email to the administrators of this site.

COPPA requires that site operators disclose how all personal information that we obtain is used. For that information, please consult our Privacy Policy.
