Since Stuffed animals and Teddy Bears are often thought of in connection with
children. GT Bear takes the privacy and safety of children very seriously.

Therefore, to better acquaint parents with a general overview of the “The
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), we have included in our
privacy statement the introduction to this Act:“The Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act ("COPPA") specifically protects the privacy of children under the
age of 13 by requesting parental consent for the collection or use of any
personal information of the users. The Act took effect in April 2000. The Act was
passed in response to a growing awareness of Internet marketing techniques
that targeted children and collected their personal information from websites
without any parental notification. The Act applies to commercial
websites and online services that are directed at children. The main
requirements of the Act that a website operator must comply with include:

•        Incorporation of a detailed privacy policy that describes the information
collected from its users.

•        Acquisition of a verifiable parental consent prior to collection of personal
information from a child under the age of 13.

•        Disclosure to parents of any information collected on their children by the
website.

•        A Right to revoke consent and have information deleted.

•        Limited collection of personal information when a child participates in
online games and contests.

•        A general requirement to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of
any personal information that is collected online from children.

Congress' intent in passing the Act was to increase parental involvement in
children's online activities, ensure children's safety during their participation in
online activities, and most importantly, protect children's personal information. “
GT Bear in adherence to the about mentioned act will not knowingly request
personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior
verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that someone under the age of
13 is participating in one of our programs, contests, etc. without prior verifiable
parental consent, we will remove this person and personally identifiable
information.
