Children's Online Protection Act of 1998
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act became effective April 21, 2000. The regulations apply to the online collection of personal information from children under 13. They spell out what a Web site operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online.
Personal Information
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover other types of information - for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms - when they are tied to individually identifiable information.

Kinds of Personal Information Collected:
Forever Broadcasting collects information from our users at our radio station websites, solely for the purpose of contest entries. Users knowingly submit personally identifiable information such as name, age, home address, home telephone number, work address and work telephone number in order to qualify and/or register for a contest prize drawing.
Should one of our radio stations promote a contest drawing directed at online submissions from children under the age of 13, (ie: A Mother's Day contest asking for an online written entry describing why they have the World's Greatest Mother,) the contest description and rules will/must specify that a parent/guardian is required to list their personally identifiable information first, verifying their status as parent/guardian by "signing" an official online statement, therefore granting permission/consent for the child under the age of 13 to submit the entry for the contest/prize drawing. "Signing" an official online statement may involve checking a box with the following statement: "I verify that I am the legal parent/guardian of the child listed below. This child is under the age of 13. I grant permission for the child listed below to submit his/her entry for the contest described herein." Contests directed at online submissions from children under the age of 13 will not require street address information. They will only require name, age, city/town and phone number(s).
Forever Broadcasting websites listed above do not currently collect any of the following personally identifiable information: social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank information, etc. None of our websites listed above require this information. None of our websites listed above sell merchandise or services via the website.
How We Use Personal Information:
Forever Broadcasting is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. This personally identifiable information for contest entries is collected from the form submitted at the website via email. It is then printed and stored in our offices until the date of the prize drawing specified. After a winner(s) has been selected from all entries received, the remaining printed entries are destroyed.
Information Disclosure to Third Parties:
Any information provided by our users is provided knowingly on a volunteer basis, and is never disclosed to any third parties.
