Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Here's something very OT for the soaplist, but I'm wondering what others' opinions on it might be... My DD, who is over the age of 13, was warned that access to her yahoo account will be terminated if she doesn't verify her age because it says their records show she is under 13 and they will be enforcing the recent Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. To verify her age, they want her to submit her credit card information.... Isn't that a bit out of line? (She has no credit card, but the fact that they think we will give them a CC number to continue using Yahoo amazes me!) M >>Yahoo! Family Accounts >Family Accounts Help ....If you're blocked, click " Verify Your Age " at the bottom left of the prompt screen. We will ask you for credit card information, which we use to certify that you're an adult. Read more about this requirement. We do not charge your credit card. Please note: You will not need to do this unless prompted when you register or sign in to your account. Yahoo! requires consent from a parent or guardian before collecting any personally identifying information from a child under the age of 13. We do this through our Family Accounts feature. The feature enables a parent to create an account for a child and, equally, lets Yahoo! know that the child has permission from a parent before they are given an account.<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
