Privacy Policy

This Policy covers how we treat the personal information that we collect from you in any manner, including via phone, by mail, at our office, and through this website. This Policy is also incorporated into our Terms of Use.

USER CONSENT

By using this website, you are consenting to Teen Innovator’s Privacy Policy. You should only use Teen Innovator’s website and Service if you agree with the terms of this Policy and the Terms of Service.

PARENTAL CONSENT

Our website is not meant to sell products or services to children and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use the website with the supervision of your parents or guardian. By registering a minor and/or providing access to your account, you certify that you are the parent (or legal guardian) of the minor and agree to provide consent on behalf of said minor. We respect your privacy and your data; therefore, parents (or guardians) can withdraw this consent at any time. If you reside in the United States, then parental consent is required for minors under the age of 13. In the unlikely event that you find Teen Innovators is collecting information from a minor without parental consent, please contact us immediately at contact@teeninnovators.com and we will delete the data.

ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13

Our collection of personal information on Platforms that are directed to children under 13 (“Children’s Platforms”) is intended to follow the principles of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), a U.S. law designed to protect the online privacy of children under the age of 13.

 We will obtain parental consent before asking for personal information on our Platforms, unless the request for information falls within an exception that would be permitted under COPPA.

We do not make personal information collected from children publicly available nor do we enable children to so on our Platforms. We will not condition a child’s participation in any activity or service on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity.

Parents may contact us at contact@teeninnovators.com to review, update or delete any of their children’s personal information that we may have collected and to elect for us not to collect any additional personal information from their children.

We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting the updated Privacy Policy online. We will not change how we handle previously collected information without providing notice and obtaining parental consent where necessary.
