To help you help me: IcePets.com does allow users under the age of 13, but does not allow them access to any communications features. That brings a whole lot of COPPA standards to follow, correct? --------------------------------------- -IcePets.com Privacy Policy- Here at IcePets we want to keep your information private & safe.

Hi Claws_,

you can find most of the requirements for COPPA compliance here. But if you have specific questions not covered there let me know. If you collect the e-mail addresses of kids under 13 even for internal uses only (e.g., if you collect them for registration) you will have to provide a method for obtaining parental consent.

Best,
Mona
