Effective Date: September 29, 2026
Today Viral USA, operated by [Company Legal Name], is a general-audience news website. This notice explains our practices under the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and similar laws.
Not directed to children
Our website, newsletters and related services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not design our content for children, and we do not target advertising to children.
No knowing collection
We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under 13. Features that collect personal information, such as newsletter sign-up, comments and contact forms, are intended only for users aged 13 and older. We ask our advertising partners not to serve interest-based advertising to users known to be under 13, and we do not knowingly allow the collection of persistent identifiers from children for behavioral advertising.
If we learn we have collected a child’s information
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as reasonably possible and, where applicable, disable any associated newsletter subscription or comment.
Information for parents and guardians
If you believe your child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us:
- Email: [Privacy Email, e.g. privacy@todayviralusa.com] with the subject line “Children’s Privacy”
- Mail: [Company Legal Name], Attn: Privacy, [Business Address]
Please include your child’s name or username and the email address or other details they may have provided so we can locate the information. We may need to take reasonable steps to verify that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian before acting on your request. Upon verification, you may review the information, ask us to delete it, and refuse further collection or use. We will respond within a reasonable time and in any event as required by law.
Teens
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 for cross-context behavioral advertising. Users between 13 and the age of majority should use the Service with the permission of a parent or guardian.
