Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly request, collect, or store any personal information from children under 13.
In compliance with COPPA (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), we have adopted the following policies to keep kids safe (there are exceptions to these policies as noted below under the heading "Exceptions to Verifiable Parental Consent and Information Collected from Children"):
We will not knowingly collect, use, or distribute personal information from children under the age of 13 without prior verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.
Personal information we collect from children under the age of 13 will be used solely by us or our agents for internal purpose only and will not be sold or otherwise distributed to third parties.
We will not knowingly allow children under the age of 13 access to free form chat, message boards, email accounts, or other services within our company that would allow them to publicly post or otherwise distribute personal information without prior verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.
We will not knowingly keep any personal information that is inadvertently included in a child's email submission, help inquiry, or other one-time request, if we know that the child is under the age of 13. Any such, information will be purged promptly after the issue has been resolved.
We will not knowingly post any personal information that is inadvertently included in a child's submission to a general audience contribution area if we know that the child is under the age of 13. Upon notice to us, these submissions will be deleted and handled anonymously thereafter.
We will advise children under the age of 13 that they must obtain permission from their parent or guardian before sharing any personal information. Upon request, we will provide a parent or guardian with a description of the information that may have been provided about their child during a registration process for a program or service of this site. We only ask for a child's personal information if it is necessary to participate in an activity or service. If we have collected and stored personal information from a child, we will give parents the ability to review their child's personal information, request that we discontinue further collection or use of their child's personal information, and/or request that we delete their child's personal information. If a parent wants to confirm that we have not collected any personal information from their child or exercise any other rights under COPPA, the parent can contact us and send requests or questions to us at: Flourishing Foundations Music Studio, LLC, 485 Village Dr., Columbus, OH 43214.
Before any personal information is collected from a child under the age of 13, we will use reasonable efforts to notify the parent or guardian that their child is participating in the services we offer. Notification will include the exact nature and intended use of the information we are collecting, as well as the opportunity for the parent or guardian to prevent the use of the information and the child's participation in the service(s). For every child under the age of 13, we will also require the parent or guardian to provide verifiable parental consent by e-mail, fax, phone or mail, or other acceptable method.
In order for us to provide notice to a parent or guardian and seek verifiable parental consent, we may request the online contact information of a parent or guardian.
Exceptions to Verifiable Parental Consent and Information Collected From Children
In the following instances we will not get verifiable parental consent for the collection of a child's personal information:
Collecting a child's contact information solely to directly respond to the child's request on a one-time basis (for example, to provide assistance with a particular customer service question). We will not use that information to re-contact the child for any other purpose (we will purge from our system the child's personal information after responding);
Collecting a child's contact information and the contact information of their parent or guardian solely to directly respond more than once to a specific request from the child (for example, to satisfy the request for a newsletter subscription). In this instance, the parent or guardian will be notified that the child made such a request and be informed of the information provided by the child. The parent or guardian will have an opportunity at any time to revoke the child's request (i.e., unsubscribe). We will not use the child's personal information to re-contact the child for any other purpose.
Using persistent identifiers on our Site to support the internal operations of our Site which include: maintaining and analyzing the functioning of the Site; performing network communications; authenticating users; personalizing content on the Site; serving contextual advertising or capping the frequency of advertising; protecting the security or integrity of the user, the Site, or the service; and to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. A "persistent identifier" is a series of numbers that we assign to a user but cannot be reasonably used to identify a specific user.
A child may provide the email address of their parent or guardian for the purpose of retrieving or resetting a child's lost password for their user account.
