Whimsied.com is committed to keeping the children's games we offer both fun and safe for all users, including children under the age of 13. As such, we are committed to complying with the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") which requires us to inform parents if and how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information from children under 13 years of age.
The Whimsied.com website and game do NOT collect, use, or disclose any Personal Information (as defined under COPPA) from children or users.
For reference, under COPPA, "Personal Information" is defined as individually identifiable information, and includes: full name (first and last); a home or other physical address including street name and city or town; online contact information such as an email address or screen name; a phone number; a Social Security number; a photograph, video or audio file containing a child's image or voice; a persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a child over time and across different websites or online services; geolocation information sufficient to identify street name and name of city or town; or information collected that is combined with the individually identifiable information listed above.
We do measure some strictly anonymous operational statistics. These statistics may include the total number of times our website or game is accessed by a certain type of browser, by a type of mobile device, etc., but we don’t know anything about individual users. In doing so, we only count aggregate numbers, ensuring truly anonymous statistics. As a result we keep NO logs of individual access, we keep NO IP addresses or other persistent identifiers, and we have NO geolocation information of individuals.
We do NOT use "cookies" or trackers or web beacons. We do NOT use analytics vendors such Google analytics. When you visit our website or press the button to start the game, your browser requests required files from our server. We count those requests and add them to our anonymous operational statistics totals. As a result we keep NO logs of individual access, we keep NO IP addresses or other persistent identifiers, and we have NO geolocation information of individuals.
We collect anonymous operational statistics in order to support, per COPPA allowance, internal operations for the purpose of maintaining or analyzing the functioning of the site and game, performing network communications, and protecting the security or integrity of the users and the site and game.
Although we do NOT collect, use, or disclose Personal Information of children, parents may contact us as per the contact information below.
Please check this Children Privacy Policy periodically for updates. Your continued use of the website or game after the posting of any changes to this Children Privacy Policy means that you agree to be bound by such changes.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Children Privacy Policy, please send email to hello@whimsied.com.
