Parental Consent
The COPPA (Children's On-line Privacy Protection Act) law states that all children aged 12 and under require parental consent before any of their personal information is entered into a website, aiming at their age group. As the website promotes the colourful and imaginative features of virtual pets, Marapets clearly attracts young children. Children are able to be a part of an online Marapet community; they have the ability to buy and sell Marapets, play games and communicate through email and chat rooms with other registered members of the Website.

Why can't I use Chat features?	When this account was registered, the date of birth used stated that you were 12 and under. Therefore, unless parental permission is given, Maramail, Clubs Boards, Forums and all areas where personal information could be entered and viewed by other users are blocked. This means you also cannot take advantage of our free Blogs and Marasites.
How is Parental Permission granted?	In order for you child to be able to send and receive Maramail and take advantage of all of our features, such as moderated Forums and Clubs, we need to have your parental consent. You can do so by filling out this Parental Consent Form. You will have to print it out and fill it in. You can then send it to us and once received, we will give access within 24 hours. If you require help or have any questions, please use the Contact Us link below.
How do I send the Parental Permission Form?	Once you have printed off and completed the form, you can scan or take a photo of it and then email this copy to marapets@gmail.com
What information is collected about my child?	Upon registration, any child 12 and under will be asked to enter a password, username and their gender. We do not collect any other information and their account can be deleted per request. You can view our full Privacy Policy for more information.
Is my child safe?	Public forums are moderated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our staff to keep them clean and as safe as possible. However, many of our chat features are private. We do not recommend you allowing your child full site access without parental supervision. Keeping your child safe online is important and we recommend reading Keeping Children Safe Online to fully understand any potential dangers any where online.
