This policy describes our practices regarding children’s personal information. This Children’s Privacy Policy supplements and is in addition to the Bentkey general Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which should be read alongside this Children’s Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these agreements, please refrain from using our Services. In the event of a conflict between this policy and the general Privacy Policy, this policy will control with respect to information of children.If you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact us at: privacy@bentkey.com.COLLECTION AND USE OF CHILDREN’S INFORMATIONBentkey services are available for children and parents. Other services from affiliates of Bentkey (such as DailyWire+ or DailyWire.com) that may be bundled with a Bentkey subscription are directed at adults. Our Services may offer activities that collect information from children. We may collect information for the reasons and in the ways described below. When appropriate or otherwise required by law, we will provide parental notice and/or seek parental consent. When the Services collect personal information from a child, we will retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided or ensure the security of our users and our services, or as required by law. If we learn that the Services have collected information from a child in a way not permitted by applicable law, we will either delete the information or immediately seek the parent’s consent for that collection.Verifiable Parental Consent. Parent Email AddressIn the event Bentkey wishes to collect personal information from a child in a way that requires parental consent under applicable laws, we will first seek a parent or guardian’s verifiable consent. In some cases, we will seek to obtain consent by email as described herein or during the account registration process. In the email and in the registration process we will explain what information we are collecting, how we plan to use it, how the parent can provide consent, and how the parent can withdraw consent. If we do not receive parental consent within a reasonable time, we will delete the parent contact information and any other information collected from the child in connection with that activity. In some cases, we may seek verifiable consent through other means, including asking for a credit card or other payment method for verification.As required by COPPA, on any child-directed site or application, or in any instance where we ask for age and determine the user is under the age of 13, we will ask for a parent or guardian email address for notice or consent purposes before we collect any personal information from the child unless consent has been provided during the registration process. If you believe your child has provided personal information to us and you or another parent/guardian have not provided consent during registration or received an email providing notice or seeking your consent, please contact us at privacy@bentkey.com.User SignupTo become a Bentkey subscriber you must be 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your state or territory of residence.
