Children's Privacy Statement

EcologyFund makes every effort to be in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. This page explains the Act and what EcologyFund does to meet its requirements.

About the Act

If you operate a commercial Web site or an online service directed to children under 13 that collects personal information from children or if you operate a general audience Web site and have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children, you must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

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.

How EcologyFund Complies With the Act

EcologyFund is an online service that contains sections directed to children under 13; however EcologyFund does not collect individually identifiable information about children. We request that when a child under 13 wishes to register on our site, they provide their first name only, and a fictitious email address. Without a full name and an active email address, we have no information that would allow us to identify or contact the child.
