- collect online contact information from a user under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent, which includes an opportunity for the

We will also place prominent notice wherever personally identifiable information is collected requesting the child to ask a parent for permission to proceed.
The following are details of the information we collect and how we use it:

COPPA
Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and
its accompanying FTC regulation establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. We offer the following for
the protection of children under 13:
- Many onlypunjab.com activities may collect information about children under 13, including e-mail, personal web pages, forum participation,
and kids chat rooms. Use of such activities requires initial registration by the participant. Children under 13 who wish to register are asked to
have a parent or legal guardian do so for them. The parent must provide a credit card number for verification that he/she is an adult. Upon verification,
the parent can choose which activities he or she would like the child to participate in. The parent can change the selected activities at any time.
- After obtaining parental consent, we collect and maintain the name, date of birth, and email address of children who register. We use this information
to contact children for subscription to newsletters and notification of contests. Parents can review their child's personal information, ask to have it
deleted and refuse to allow any further collection or use of their child's information. To do so, log on as a member and clicking on the Parental Controls
link in their membership profile.
- We do not distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information collected from children under 13 or from sites that are specifically
directed to children under 13.
- We use a technology called "cookies" to track what pages users visit on our service, as described in the previous section of this document.
This site is operated by onlypunjab.com. We are the only operator that collects or maintains children's personal information through this site.
