Why use Online Registration?

tremendous convenience for registrants.
Why must people register when trying to access the message board, chat room or other areas of the site?
Our registration helps to ensure anyone under the age of 13 receives parental permission. This
registration is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions ruling for COPPA (Childrens Online
Privacy Protection Act). Whether playing, shopping, studying or just surfing, todays kids are taking
advantage of all that the Web has to offer. But when it comes to their personal information online,
who is in charge? In an effort to put parents in the drivers seat, the Federal Trade Commission has
established new rules for Web site operators to make sure that kids privacy is protected while they are online.
These rules, which went into effect on April 21, 2000, are part of the 1998 Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act.
The law requires that Web site operators post comprehensive privacy policies on their sites, notify parents about their information
practices, and obtain parental consent before collecting any personal information from children under the age of 13 or allowing kids
under 13 to publicly post personal information such as on web pages, bulletin boards or chat rooms without
their parents consent. For kids, this means that they will not have free reign of all that the Web has to
offer, unless their parent provides consent.
