Special Notice Regarding Children Under 13
XM Webdesign understands the sensitivity of personally identifiable information concerning children under the age of 13 and therefore provides this special notice. XM Webdesign is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding children, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Except in limited circumstances allowed by COPPA, XM Webdesign will not knowingly collect, maintain, or disclose any personally identifiable information from a child under 13 without first obtaining consent from that child's parent or legal guardian.
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 13, and your child would like to participate in certain Services for which COPPA requires your consent, your child will be prompted to print out a form for you to complete and mail in to XM Webdesign. The form will list the information required from both parent/guardian and child, as well as the intended uses of the information. XM Webdesign will only collect information that is reasonably necessary for your child to participate, and XM Webdesign will not share your child's personally identifiable information with any third party (except for purposes of fulfillment by a third party that has agreed to protect the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy), unless you specifically consent, or as permitted by COPPA or other applicable law. You may also subsequently revoke your consent and request that your child's information be removed from XM Webdesign active list. Please refer to the form for instructions and further information.
If you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child under the age of 13 has submitted his or her personally identifiable information without your permission or consent, XM Webdesign will make reasonable efforts to remove the information from its active list, at your request. To request the removal of your child's information, please send an e-mail to Privacy@xmwebdesign.com and be sure to include in your message the same User Name and password and/or e-mail address that your child submitted.

You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
