Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act
We at the League of Women Voters of New Jersey are committed to
respecting your privacy and recognize your need for appropriate
protection of personally identifiable information you share with

Our servers do not record e-mail addresses. If you sign up for
an e-mail newsletter or discussion list at our site, you will
receive only the e-mail newsletter or discussion list you have

revealing any personal information about yourself. We do not
utilize "cookies" on these Web pages. Cookies are identifiers

We will not obtain personally-identifying information about
you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such

The
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
We support the Federal
Trade Commission's public information program to
increase awareness among parents, guardians, youngsters, and
teachers about privacy on the Internet and the protections of the
law. The Commission believes that education is critical in helping
parents protect their children’s privacy online.
Children under 13 frequently utilize
the information available through this Web site as a resource for
homework or classwork.
The FTC regulations include several exceptions that allow
operators to collect a child's email address without getting the
parent's consent in advance. These exceptions cover many popular
online activities for kids, including contests, online
newsletters, homework help and electronic postcards.
Prior parental consent is
not
required when:
- an operator collects a child's or parent's email address to
provide notice and seek consent;
- an operator collects an email address to respond to a
one-time request from a child and then deletes it.

Users may find links to other sites from our pages. In many
cases, the links represent cooperative projects or are mutual

so linked, we do not control the contents or links that appear on
these sites. In addition, these sites or services, including their

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party
sites or services before providing any of them with your personal
information.
