Children's Online Information Policy

We may collect information on domain names, dates and times of visits, and the number of page views. This information contains no Personal Information and will only be used to continue to improve the overall value of our site. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from children under 13 on the internet without prior parental consent.
