Protection of Children (COPPA information)
We provide online educational experiences for children including children under age 13.

We collect only the child’s name and age. This information is necessary to tailor activities to the child’s interests and abilities. A child must obtain the consent of a parent or guardian to participate in our online educational programs, and every child’s parent or guardian has the right to revoke consent, or review, have deleted, or refuse collection and use of a child’s information. If we materially change the information that we need to collect regarding children who participate in our online programs, we may request additional consent from parents or guardians. If a participant’s parent or guardian revokes consent, we will immediately stop collecting, using, or disclosing the child’s information; however, the revoked consent will also end the child’s participation in our online educational programs.
To remove consent, review, or request deletion of information contact us at barkingdogfarmtx@gmail.com. We will take steps to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be a child’s parent or guardian who asks to review the information we have collected.
