Your privacy is important to the Census Bureau, and we make every effort to ensure your privacy under Title 13 and other applicable laws (See the Census Bureau’s Privacy Policy below for more information). We ask that you also protect your own privacy by not including any personally identifiable information within your comments.
Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, persons under the age of 13 years old are not allowed to submit questions or comments.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 16 CFR Part 312, requires operators of web sites directed to children under age 13, and operators that have actual knowledge of collecting or maintaining personal information from children under 13, to obtain verifiable consent from parents prior to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children. Only with the consent of a parent or guardian, the Census Bureau may collect information from children under age 13 for some of our surveys. However, the Census Bureau does not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 13 when using our websites otherwise.
For more information regarding COPPA please visit the Federal Trade Commission’s Privacy web site and select the Children’s Privacy link.
