CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
In compliance with CalOPPA:
Regarding collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not collect information from children under 13 and do not let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children under 13. In order to provide RewardU's core services, we do however require that parents, guardians or sponsors create a Beneficiary profile for children that may be under the age of 13. No sensitive information is stored on a Beneficiary profile and the user may choose to use an alias when creating a Beneficiary profile. REWARDU DOES NOT REQUIRE AND WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR CHILD'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR ANY OTHER PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OF YOUR CHILD.
In order to remove your child's information from your RewardU account, please contact us at info@collegesocialfund.com
In order adhere to COPPA tenants, parents can review, delete, manage or refuse with whom their child's information is shared through contacting us directly.
