PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AT THE MUG FUSION
At The Mug Fusion, the safety and privacy of children are of utmost importance. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and all other applicable laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information from children in the United States.
​
Our website is designed for a general audience, but some of our products or services may not be suitable for young children. We encourage parents and guardians to be actively involved in their children’s online activities. Consider utilizing parental control tools offered by web browsers and operating systems to restrict access to certain content you deem inappropriate. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. This means we take steps to verify that a parent or guardian has approved the collection of their child’s information before we proceed. In the unlikely event that we discover we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our records.
​
When applicable law requires it, we will obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing a child’s personal information. This verifiable consent may involve a mechanism that can demonstrably prove a parent or guardian’s authorization, protecting the child’s privacy. We strive to be clear and upfront about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose information, including information from children. By providing this information, we hope to empower parents and guardians to make informed decisions regarding their children’s online activity on The Mug Fusion website.
​
We maintain robust security measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any personal information we collect, including information from children. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your child’s information. If you are a parent or guardian with concerns about your child’s information or our practices, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are here to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have.
​
By following these practices, we aim to create a safe and secure online environment for all users, with a particular focus on protecting the privacy of children.
