On occasion, we may also be required to provide certain personal identifying information to third-party hosts for retreats, gatherings and similar events requiring individual registration with the host. Any third-party to whom we disclose personal identifying information shall be required by contract to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the personal identifying information and to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13-years-old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
