CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, "COPPA") require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, "parents") about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 ("children"). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child's parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child's personal information.

This section notifies parents of:

The types of information we may collect from children.
How we use the information we collect.
Our practices for disclosing that information.
Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents' consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy applies to teens and adults.

Information We Collect from Children

Under the Terms and Conditions (https://www.findatherapist.com/terms/) Children under 18 are not permitted to use this website without the permission of their parent or guardian. Nevertheless, children can access many parts of the Website and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Website.

We require anybody filling out forms with identifying information to confirm they are an adult or acting with the permission of their parent or guardian. If a user identifies as an adult or as acting with the consent of a parent or guardian, we only collect as much information about a user as is reasonably necessary for the user to participate in an activity. We do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. It is our goal to not collect any information about a child without the express authorization of his or her parent.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Website and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:

If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Docvia LLC, our customers or others, including to:
protect the safety of a child;
protect the safety and security of the Website; or
enable us to take precautions against liability.
