Please note: we may nevertheless maintain a record of that person’s name and address in a “do not register” file to avoid subsequent registration by a child under the age of 13.

If we make any material changes in the way in which your profile information is collected, used or transferred, we will notify you of these changes on our Site or by e-mail and provide a link to the new privacy statement.
