Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. For that reason, Yellow Lab Creations LLC does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. Our Service does not target children under the age of 13, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.

If We Become Aware of Unintended Collection:

  • Immediate Action: In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers immediately.
  • Parental Notification: If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will attempt to notify the parents or guardians of that child to inform them of the data collection and to obtain their consent or to remove the information as requested.
  • Review and Deletion of Information: Parents or guardians who become aware that their child has provided us with personal information without their consent can contact us. We provide parents with the ability to review the information collected from their child, request the deletion of such information, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child's information.

Encouraging Safe Online Experiences:

We believe it is essential for parents and guardians to supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information online without parental permission.

Your assistance in ensuring the privacy of children is greatly appreciated. We are committed to complying with applicable laws and requirements, such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), to ensure the safety of children's personal information.
