You must be 18 years of age or older in order to use this Web Site. Designetics Inc. is concerned about the safety and privacy of children online. Because of this, we will make all efforts to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulations establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the internet. We do not and will not knowingly contact or collect personally identifying information from children under 18. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 18, and we will develop our site with the capacity to block acceptance of information from children under 18 whenever age-related information is requested.

It is possible that by fraud or deception by others we may receive information given to us or pertaining to children under 18. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or else delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by children under 18, please email us at [email protected].

We may keep information that we collect for an unlimited period of time.
