“ Children's Online Protection Privacy Act ”

Keeping the kids safe (even from Terminators ;)

COPPA policy

COPPA policy

Main info

In order to comply with the Children's Online Protection Privacy Act, effective April 21 2000, TerminatorFiles has a policy on how we deal with information relating to minors.

Diverse user base

TerminatorFiles has a diverse user base, with possibly many readers aged under 13. We may ask for your e-mail address without prior consent from your parents:

  • In order to allow one-time communication with a person, after which time the e-mail address will be deleted.
  • To protect your safety while participating in the TerminatorFiles website and liated services.
  • To protect the security or liability of the website or in response to law enforcement.

Confirm permission

Before asking for any other information, or asking for your e-mail address for any other reason, we ask that you have confirmed permission with your parents. If we are in any doubt over the validity of this permission, it may be confirmed by asking for a:

  • Signed form, via post.
  • Telephone confirmation.
  • Digital signature.

Giving your e-mail address may be essential to contact you for some contests or to communicate between staff and users. However, generally, an e-mail address or any other form of contact information is not needed to access the website. It is however needed to register for an account on our forums.

Recommendations

We highly recommend that you do not give away your identity! This may include:

  • Not giving out your name (by using a 'screen name', dissimilar to your actual name), e-mail address, address, phone number or any identifiable information in TerminatorFiles forum or other interactive sections. These areas are open to the public and we have no way of verifying the identification of users.
  • Never agreeing to meet anyone you meet via TerminatorFiles or any website suggested by TerminatorFiles without seeking permision from your parents/guardians and being accompanied by a responsible adult.

Notices

TerminatorFiles does not gather any information from you via cookies, except a non-identifiable cookie in order to determine your statistical usage of pages contained with this and other TerminatorFiles liated services and/or additional preferences needed for targeted advertising. Our advertisers and/or other partners may use their own predefined cookies. We always check their validity when providing their advertising contents on our sites and services.

If you are a parent or guardian and wish for any information about your child to be disclosed to you or removed from TerminatorFiles sites and/or services, please get in contact with our Staff through the following contact form.

This policy is intended to protect children while using TerminatorFiles sites and services, whilst still allowing them to participate as much as possible. Any information collected from any person will not be more than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of participation.

No information collected will be disclosed to third parties, unless approved by us: if so, this will be clearly mentioned (ie partners in competions, etc.).

This policy applies if you are 13 or under. Any user found to be falsely claiming to be an age that they are not (either older or younger than their real age), if disclosed, may be banned from further participation and your activity may be reported to your ISP or a relevant law authority, who may take further action at their discretion, if they deem it appropriate.
