anywhere you collect personal information from children; (iii) include a
description of parental rights (e.g. that you won't require a child to disclose
more information than is reasonably necessary, that they can review their
child's personal information, direct you to delete it, and refuse to allow any
further collection or use of the child's information, and the procedures to
exercise their rights); (iv) give parents "direct notice" of your
information practices before collecting information from their children; and
(v) obtain the parents' "verifiable consent" before collecting, using
or disclosing personal information from a child. For more information on the
