CHILDREN’S INFORMATION AND COPPA

COPPA generally (there are exceptions) requires parental consent before a commercial website operator may collect children’s personal information online. Performance Equine Nutrition does not permit children to participate in any contests that Performance Equine Nutrition may sponsor from time to time through this website, and in the normal course of visiting and using this website, children are not requested to provide personal information online to Performance Equine Nutrition. Performance Equine Nutrition does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has registered or is attempting to register to participate in any contests or for other relevant sections of this website, we will notify the child that he or she is ineligible for registration, and then expunge any personal information of that child from our records.
