2.) CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY “COPPA” INFORMATION

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 is a United States federal law, located at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506.

The the following explains our practices with respect to the online collection and use of personal information from children under the age of 13, and provides important information on your rights under federal law with respect to such information:

We do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. We screen users who wish to provide personal information in order to prevent users under the age of 13 from providing such information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user under the age of 13, we will immediately delete such information from our records. If we change our collection practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If at any time we establish or begin providing services on any website that in anyway meets the criteria of COPPA, we will ensure that full compliance is met in every aspect of COPPA.

Due to the fact we do NOT collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 we also do NOT knowingly distribute such information to any third party.

We do NOT knowingly allow children under the age of 13 to become customers, or otherwise, distribute personally identifiable contact information.

Due to the fact we do NOT collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, we do NOT condition the participation in any online activities of a child under the age of 13 on providing personally identifiable information. However, even as outlined above we do NOT knowingly allow children under the age of 13 to access and use UnlimitedMortgageLending.com in general.
