Children's Privacy Policy

This section of the Privacy Policy provides Jeff’s Jigs and Flies’ policy for the collection and use of personal information about children under the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”).

Under the COPPA, a “child” is anyone under thirteen (13) years of age and "personal information" is defined as individually identifiable information, such as a first and last name; a home or other physical address including street name and city or town; an e-mail address; a telephone number; a social security number; or persistent identifiers such as customer or processor serial numbers held in a cookie, where the identifier is associated with individually identifiable information. Jeff’s Jigs and Flies normally does not collect personal information as defined under COPPA from children under the age of thirteen (13). We collect and use only as much information about a child as necessary, and do not condition use of the Site on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Jeff’s Jigs and Flies contacts children by e-mail only in response to their requests for information. Jeff’s Jigs and Flies uses cookies solely for the purpose of holding information during online sessions (such as tracking items placed in the shopping cart for purchase with parental consent). If, however, a child voluntarily discloses personal information, such as a name or e-mail address, on any part of Jeff’s Jigs and Flies that is accessible to other users, then such information could be collected and disclosed by others. Jeff’s Jigs and Flies is not responsible for such collection or disclosure.

Jeff’s Jigs and Flies requires parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing certain personal information from children as required by COPPA. Parental consent must be demonstrated through use of a valid credit card to create an order from the Site or by a written (electronic or otherwise) message to Jeff’s Jigs and Flies providing express consent. Parents may review and have their child's personal information deleted from Jeff’s Jigs and Flies’ records, and may refuse to permit further collection or use of their child's information by contacting Jeff’s Jigs and Flies. Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to others.

Jeff’s Jigs and Flies treats personal information collected from children in the same manner as it treats any other Personal Information under the Privacy Policy listed above. Without verified parental consent, Jeff’s Jigs and Flies will not knowingly collect personal information relating to children under thirteen (13) years of age, and if we learn that we inadvertently collected such information, it will be promptly deleted.
