CHILD PRIVACY
Because of the nature of our business, our products and services are not

use require that any registration may only be made by those age 18 or older
and that any product or service purchases may only be made by those age 18 or
older. If we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a
child under the age of 18, TAI will not collect the information without
parental consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity
for the parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child's
participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online information
will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other
purpose. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online
is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online
industry and with parents.
