The safety and privacy of Children on the Internet is very important to us. PDHI is committed to comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). For more information about COPPA, please visit the Federal Trade Commission's website.

PDHI wants to help you guard your Child's privacy. We want to be sure that no individual under the age of 13 shares information without parental consent. We will not permit registration of anyone who identifies him/herself to be under 13 years of age (a "Child") without verifiable consent from that Child's parent/guardian on the application form.

This Child Privacy Policy is in addition to our general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, both of which we urge you to read. By using our site, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Child Privacy Policy and by our general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Parental Consent
We will not collect or retain any information from a Child until the Child's parent/guardian returns a Parental Consent Form. Shortly after consent is received, PDHI will supply to the parent/guardian a Parental Consent Password that will enable either the parent to register the Child, or the Child to register him or herself with the PDHI health channel.

Discussing Privacy Issues With Your Child
We encourage you to talk to your Child about the safe and responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet. Please instruct your Child to not disclose usernames or passwords to anyone. Additional information about safeguarding your Child's privacy can be found at other privacy protection sites. Also, our parental consent process is only triggered when a Child tells us that he or she is under 13. If you believe that your Child is accessing our site through his/her use of falsified age information, please do advise our Privacy Officer so that we can properly protect your Child's personal information.

Contacting Our Privacy Officer
If you have any questions about your Child's privacy rights, or if you need to contact us for any reason relating to your Child's data, please write to or call our Privacy Officer at:
