Epoch’s Children’s Privacy Practices
We take many special precautions to protect the privacy of children. If you have a question about whether a particular Epoch Service is directed to children, please use contact us using the “contact” link available on our sites.
What Information Does Epoch Collect from Children and How Is It Used?
To participate in special activities, games, or contests, we might ask your child to register. They can often do so anonymously by just providing a first name or user name, and password. When we ask for your child’s first name, we encourage them to use a “screen name” (not their real name) that only they know. Sometimes we will ask your child to make up a special password so that only they can see their customized areas of Epoch Services. We use technology, like cookies, to recognize visitors by their user name when they use or revisit Epoch Services, and to provide us important information that helps us understand features and areas of most interest. We may also use these technologies to screen for age.
We may sometimes need a child’s email address, your email address, or both. We may ask a child for your email address, so we can notify you of your child’s interest in Epoch Services. In the limited circumstances where we might collect your child’s email address without getting your consent first (see more below), if we need more than just your child’s first name (or screen name) and email address for your child to participate in a particular Epoch Service, we will ask your child for your email or mailing address so that we can notify you of your child’s request and get your permission. When we ask for your permission, we will tell you what we will do with the information you or your child provides us, and how you can review your child’s information and ask us to delete the information. With your consent, we may collect other personal information from your child such as a last name or home address when the information is necessary for a particular activity.
We don’t keep your (or your child’s) email address unless you tell us it is okay. If social networking opportunities are available through Epoch Services, they are structured so that no personal information is shared between visitors unless parental consent is obtained.
Epoch might collect an email address and first name (or screen name) from your child without your consent, but only in the following special cases:
We may ask for certain information that is not personally identifiable, like city and state, birth month and day, gender, hobbies, etc., to help us understand our visitors and improve our products and Epoch Services.
We also use technology and work with third-party technology partners to facilitate the ability to play games, to recognize returning visitors, for research, and for other purposes and to get certain automatically collected information. Read more about our cookies and technologies and our third-party technology partners at our COOKIES INFORMATION PAGE.
