We also apply the substantive requirements of the Safe Harbor Principles when transferring personal information from Australia.
Children Privacy
We recognize the need to provide further privacy protections with respect to personal information we may collect from children on our sites and applications. Some of the features on MEEP!Store require explicit authorization from parents or guardian, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in connection with those features. Please note that when we intend to collect personal information from children, we will inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age; and we will obtain the consent of parents and guardian in order for children under 18 years of age to use certain features of our site. Below we explain how we do that for these "kids."
1. What types of personal information we collect about kids
We do not collect personal information from kids unless parents register on the Portal. Typically, we will require parents to provide kids information in order to enable their kids to participate in activities, applications or games in our MEEP!Store. The only information we collect from parents about kids during our registration process is a kid's birth date, gender and user ID. We collect a kid's birth date from parents for the purpose of sending the parents promotional materials in respect of their kids' birthday. For example, we would send birthday reminder to parents and provide them some ideas of birthday gifts such as MEEP!Coins, applications, etc.
2. How do we use and share the personally identifiable information that we have collected about kids?
If a kid use MEEP!Coins to exchange product in MEEP!Store, invite/remove friends to join MEEP!Chat or conduct any online activities through MEEP! at protected/unprotected website, etc, we use the parents' e-mail address registered in the Portal to notify or send an approval request to parents. In addition, we may share a kid's personal information with third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to: protect the security of integrity of our sites; to take precautions against liability; to respond to judicial process; or to the extent permitted under provisions of law, to provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.
3. How do we notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of information from their kids?
Save and except parents choose "low security level" setting in the Portal, we send notification to the kid's parents requesting the parents' affirmative consent to every exchange made by the kid at MEEP!Store. If the parents or guardian give such consent, we then follow that that communication with confirmation to the parents or guardian and allow the kids to use MEEP!Coins for that particular exchange. If parents refuse to allow the kid using MEEP!Coins to exchange products at MEEP!Store, we will delete the kid's information from our database.
We also send parents an email to the kid's parents notifying the parents when their kid invites friends to join MEEP!Chat. Such an approval request will be sent to parents for every invitation made by their kids. In addition, we send a notification every time when their kids participate dialogue in MEEP!Chat.
4. How can parents access, change or delete personally identifiable information about their kids?
At any time parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal information from their kids and can request that any personal information we have collected be deleted from our records. We use two methods to allow parents to access, change, or delete the personally identifiable information that we have collected from their kids.
- 1. Parents can access or change their kids' personal information by logging on to the Portal. There are instructions on your Account home page explaining how to change information in your Account.
- 2. Parents can delete their kids' personal information by contacting us. Please include the kids' user ID and parents' e-mail address in the e-mail so that we can better assist you with your inquiry or request.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may change this privacy policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. We will provide notice to you if these changes are material and, where required by applicable laws, we will obtain your consent.
