Effective date – February 5, 2025
Principle Roofing Solutions is committed to ensuring the security of kids who utilize our site. This Children’s Online Privacy Policy clarifies our information gathering, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to personal information provided by children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”), and uses terms that are defined in our Privacy Policy. It is in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), and outlines our practices in the United States and Latin America with respect to children’s personal information.
Collection of Information, Use of it and Communication with Parents
Children can explore the site and can view and print content without giving any personal information other than the automatic collection of device “persistent identifiers,” explained in more detail below. Our site gathers limited personal information if the child registers to become a member or submits a question or request to us. If the data gathered does not permit contact with the child or their device (such as aggregated data), we may use and disclose it for any reason, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Registration Process
If a child wishes to register on our site, we require the following information:
Username (we advise the child not to use their real name);
Password;
Birth month and year.
We also require the child to provide a parent’s email address. We use the parent’s email address to request parental consent for the child’s enrollment and to clarify what data we are collecting, how we plan to use it, and how the parent can revoke consent or request, at any time, that we delete the account and erase any personal data gathered from the child (including the parental contact data).
If you believe your child is participating in activities that collect personal information without your consent, or if you no longer wish for your child to participate, please contact us at info@principleroof.com, and we will delete your child’s account and associated parental contact information.
Content Generated by Child
Certain activities on our site allow children to create or manage content. Some of these activities do not require the child to provide personal information. In cases where personal information is requested, we will either ask the submitter to delete the information or obtain verifiable parental consent before collection.
If Principle Roofing Solutions plans to post a child’s content publicly or share it with a third party for their independent use, we will obtain a higher level of parental consent.
Persistent Identifiers
When children interact with our site, certain technical data is automatically collected to enhance the site and for internal business purposes. This data may include:
Type of computer operating system;
IP address or mobile device identifier;
Web browser type;
Frequency of site visits;
Information about the online or mobile service provider.
This information is collected through technologies like cookies, flash cookies, web beacons, and other unique identifiers (detailed in our general Privacy Policy). This data is used solely to:
Ensure the site functions properly;
Conduct research and analysis to understand and improve site usage and performance;
Diagnose and resolve technical issues.
What Child’s Information is Visible on the Site?
We strictly limit the amount of information made publicly available about a child. When a child posts content on the site, only their age and the content itself are visible. The child’s username is not made public. Even though a child may create a profile (including username, password, birth month and year, and parent’s email address), only the child’s age is visible to others.
What Child’s Information is Shared with Others?
We do not share a child’s personal information except as permitted by law, which may include:
With parental consent;
As required by law;
To third-party service providers supporting site operations;
As aggregated data with third-party providers, board members, funders, or partners;
To comply with legal processes;
In response to government requests;
To enforce our Terms of Service;
To protect our rights, users, or others’ safety;
For fraud prevention efforts;
In connection with a business sale, merger, or other corporate transactions.
Parents’ Control over Child’s Information
Parents/guardians may at any time:
Access or update their child’s personal information;
Request cessation of further information collection;
Request deletion of any personal information collected from their child.
To do so, please contact us at info@principleroof.com or by mail at:
