Additional Information
Notice To/Regarding Children Under the Age of 13
SEL believes that children using the Internet require special protection, and we urge
parents or guardians to explain Internet safety to their children. Parents are urged to
spend time online with their children to become familiar with the types of content
available on the SEL sites and the Internet in general. Control tools are available from
online services and software manufacturers to help create a safer environment for
children.
If you are under 13 years of age, you should not provide any personally identifiable
information (for example, your last name, home address or e-mail address) on these
sites without the knowledge and permission of your parent or guardian. If SEL learns
that you are under 13 years of age, SEL will not maintain or use any personally
identifiable information about you without the verifiable consent of your parent or
guardian, except as allowed by law. This may mean that you will be unable to
participate in some activities on the sites without that verifiable consent.
If a child under 13 years of age wishes to participate in any SEL Web site activity, or
wishes to take advantage of a product or service offering, available to children, and to
do so necessitates the furnishing of any of the child’s personal information, please note
the following:
