A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS AND LEGAL GUARDIANS:

Wimpy Kid adheres to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), in our websites and online services directed to children under 13. Wherever we refer to “children” or a “child” in this Privacy Policy we mean children under 13. Please help us protect your child’s privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information (like their full name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number, etc.) without your permission.

We suggest that you discourage your child from providing such information unless you are confident that the information will not be misused.
