I. INFORMATION REQUESTED FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE

that our entire Web site may be appealing to children, we have elected
to be fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection

We encourage children and parents to explore our Web site together.
Please remind your children, that they should check with you before
providing any personal information.
A. WHAT INFORMATION MAY BE COLLECTED
- Personally Identifiable Information
--The St. Louis Artists' Guild accepts financial donations
through its Web site. In order to make a donation, a Web site
visitor must provide his or her name, address and credit card
information. We do not knowingly accept credit card information
from children under the age of 13, or from individuals who
are not the proper cardholder.
--The St. Louis Artists' Guild Web site has links to PayPal and

does not dictate or supervise the information collection and use

you will have a choice as to what information about your child, if
any, is shared.
Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, prior to
using personally identifiable information collected from a child under
the age of 13, the St. Louis Artists' Guild is required to obtain parental
consent. Should the St. Louis Artists' Guild seek parental consent, parents
will receive an email request notifying them in what activity the child
has chosen to participate. Requests for parental consent will explain
how we collect, use, and disclose children's personal information. Parents
will then be given the opportunity (1) to opt out of their child's participation
in any activity; and (2) to select what information, if any, the St.
Louis Artists' Guild may share about the child. If a parent opts his
or her child out, no information about that child will be retained by

participating in certain St. Louis Artists' Guild activities that require
personal information.
