HB11 Energy makes all reasonable efforts to give notice via e-Mail to parents of children under the age of 13 when information (e.g. e-Mail addresses or any other information) is collected from their child. Before entering a contest/competition/promotion online, HB11 Energy requires children under the age of 13 to ask a parent for permission. Children under 13 years of age are required to enter a parent’s e-mail address as well. This is done so that HB11 Energy may contact a parent via e-mail to notify him/her that the child has entered a contest/ competition/promotion and to provide the option of removing the child’s e-mail address from the list of entries. HB11 Energy will not use a parent’s e-mail address for any other purpose.
