2identifiable information collected online and to helping parents and children have

positive experiences on the Internet.

We will never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under

the age of 13 ("Children") without prior verifiable parental consent. With parental

consent, we may collect information from Children, such as: name, address, email

address, account information, and user generated content. This information allows us

to fulfill a requested transaction and facilitate participation in online programs, keep

records, undertake certain marketing activities, or to otherwise customize or enhance

the Site experience for Children. We will not require a Child to disclose more

information than is reasonably necessary to participate in a Site activity. The sharing of

personally identifiable information of Children with third parties will be done in accord

with the above section Use and Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information.

Regardless of what information is displayed, parents can revoke their consent and ask

that information about their children be deleted from the Site by contacting our offices

by phone at 712.322.5493 (Voice)/712.587.8887 (Video) or via email at

chadentinger@deafmissions.com. A parent may also consent to the collection and use

of information for their child, but still not allow for the disclosure to third parties, unless

such third party provides part of the service (e.g. social networking). To do this or to

review personally identifiable information collected from children, we must verify the

identity of the requesting parent. When a parent revokes consent, we will stop

collecting, using, or disclosing information from that child. To respect the privacy of

parents, information collected and used for the sole purpose of obtaining verifiable

parental consent or providing notice is not maintained in retrievable form by the Site if

parental consent is not obtained after a reasonable time.
