First Century Church will never knowingly sell, market or advertise to children under the age of thirteen (minors) through our website. Our website is not designed to target minor children, and we will not collect any personal information from anyone under the age of 13.
Congress and the Federal Trade Commission have taken special steps to assure that children under 13 years of age don’t share their personal information on the Internet without the approval of their parents. The FTC, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the "COPPA" Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
