COPPA POLICY

At 3.5th Dimension Records, we take privacy seriously, especially when it comes to protecting the privacy of children. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that websites and online services directed to children under the age of 13, or that knowingly collect personal information from children, implement certain safeguards to protect their privacy. This COPPA Policy outlines our practices with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under the age of 13.

1. Collection of Personal Information from Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 unless the collection is in compliance with COPPA. In the event that we collect personal information from children under 13, we will:

  • Obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing any personal information from children.

  • Limit the collection of personal information to what is necessary for the operation of the service.

  • Allow parents to review, delete, and control the use of their children's personal information.

Personal information includes but is not limited to, the following:

  • Name

  • Address

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • IP address

  • Any other information that can identify a child personally

2. Parental Consent

Before collecting any personal information from children under the age of 13, we will first obtain verifiable parental consent. The methods of obtaining parental consent may include, but are not limited to:

  • Email consent: Sending an email to the parent asking for their consent.

  • Credit card verification: Requesting the parent to enter credit card details as a form of verification.

  • Phone verification: Requesting the parent to call a phone number to confirm consent.

  • Other forms of verifiable consent: Any other method that complies with COPPA regulations.

We will explain the types of personal information we intend to collect, how it will be used, and any third parties with whom it may be shared. Parents will also be informed of their rights to access, review, and delete their children's personal information.

3. Parental Rights

Parents have the following rights under COPPA:

  • Review and Delete: Parents can review the personal information we have collected about their child and request that it be deleted.

  • Revocation of Consent: Parents can revoke their consent at any time and request that we stop collecting or using their child's personal information.

  • Control over Personal Information: Parents can control the type of information that is collected from their child by choosing whether or not to consent to the collection and use of that information.

If a parent would like to exercise these rights, they may contact us using the contact details below.

4. Use of Personal Information

We may use the personal information of children under 13 solely for the purposes of operating and improving the services we provide. These purposes may include:

  • Responding to inquiries or requests made by the child.

  • Providing requested services or content.

  • Customizing user experience or offering promotions (if applicable).

We do not share personal information from children under 13 with third parties except when necessary to operate the service, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not disclose, sell, or rent personal information collected from children under the age of 13 to third parties for any marketing purposes.

We may share personal information in the following situations:

  • Service Providers: We may share personal information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, customer service, or data analysis. These providers are contractually obligated to handle personal information in a secure manner and may not use the information for their own purposes.

  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to subpoenas or court orders, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of 3.5th Dimension Records, our users, or others.

6. Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information of children under 13 from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use a combination of physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to ensure that any personal data we collect is securely stored and handled.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This COPPA Policy

We may update this COPPA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we update this policy, we will post the revised version on our website and update the "Effective Date" at the top of the policy. Parents should review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect their children's personal information.
