To further attempt to protect the security of the information from hackers who may find ways to infiltrate our Services, email messages are encrypted, making the reading of these messages difficult.

If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not submit any information to the Services at any time or in any manner.
8. A NOTE TO PARENTS
We believe that parents should supervise their children’s online activities and also consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can sometimes prevent children from disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission. We adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. Parents can help by spending time online with their children and monitoring their online use. Please help us protect your child’s privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information on the Services.
