For example, we request personal information when you register for a Buena Vista Online Account, for online shopping or transactions, or for services that require registration or subscription. Information provided when purchasing products from any of our online stores may be used for marketing and promotional purposes and is subject to the opt-out processes described on, or linked to, each order form. Buena Vista Online and the GO Network encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the activities offered on the sites. No information should be submitted to or posted at Buena Vista Online and the GO Network by guests under 13 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, Buena Vista Online and the GO Network do not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our guests under 13 years of age.
All registrants receive an e-mail confirming their Registration.
The parent or guardian must validate the account, as described in the e-mail, in order for the potential member to use most Buena Vista Online and the GO Network interactive services. Although guests under 13 years of age may be allowed to participate in some contests and promotions, if such a guest wins, notification and prizes are sent to the parents or guardians identified in the initial registration process. Publication of contest winners names, ages, or images for individuals under 13 require parental or guardian consent. We do not allow guests under 13 years of age to be listed in our member directory or to receive direct marketing communications from Buena Vista Online and the GO Network or to be sent from our third-party offers. Teens are required to provide the e-mail address of a parent or guardian and a notification message is sent to the parent or guardian of all guests who are 13 to 17 years of age which identifies the information supplied at Registration and allows the parent or guardian to be aware of and participate in the guest's online experience.
