How LunarOutpost.com
protects children's privacy (COPPA)
LunarOutpost.com is a general
audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for
permission before sending personal information to anyone
online. LunarOutpost.com does not share personal information
about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we
do not sell or rent personal information about any of our
users, regardless of age. In addition, LunarOutpost.com
will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate
they are under the age of 13.
As a result of the new Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, we
are required to prohibit children under 13 who reside in
the U.S. from posting ads or using any of the other features
of our site that require them to submit information via
forms. This is due to the onerous reporting and verification
requirements that this new law places on web sites that
allow children under 13 to submit information via forms.
Since we do not have the large, dedicated staff that would
be necessary to comply with these requirements, our only
option in order to remain in compliance with the law is
to prohibit all children under 13 who reside in the US from
posting any information via forms on our web site. Therefore,
children under 13 who reside in the US should not submit
any information via forms on our web site, and if you submit
such information, you warrant that you are either over the
age of 13 or not located in the US and thus not subject
to COPPA.
POLICY LAST UPDATED: 08.08.2003
