Children’s online privacy protection act compliance
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. Therefore, no part of the FOAJ website is structured to attract anyone under age 13 and we do not intend to collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The FOAJ recommends that parents closely supervise the activity of children on any website including the FOAJ website. For any volunteer project, the FOAJ requests parents not list their children’s name and just use the generic term “minor.” Further, the FOAJ can make available offline volunteer forms for families with minors to further reduce a child’s online fingerprint on the FOAJ website.
