Children

WWhen a child under age 13 attempts to register with BirdPost™, we ask the child to have a parent or guardian create a BirdPost™ account to obtain parental permission. If you do this, we will limit our service as follows:

BirdPost™ does not contact children under age 13 about special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission.
BirdPost™ does not ask a child under age 13 for more personal information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate in a given activity or promotion.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with BirdPost™ under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help BirdPost™ communicate with you about offers from BirdPost™ and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing BirdPost™ to collect and use their child's information without consenting to BirdPost™ sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes.
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of BirdPost™'s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
