The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) respects the privacy of children. The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) particularly recognizes the sensitivity of personal information concerning children under the age of 13 and therefore provides this special notice to parent(s) or guardian(s) regarding the collection and use of information collected from children in this age group. The Website and the services provided thereon are intended for access and use strictly by adults over 18 years of age and persons ages 13-18 with the consent of their parent or guardian.

Although The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) does not seek to collect any information from children under the age of 13, should you find that your child has submitted his/her information, The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) will make reasonable efforts to delete a child's information from its database upon request. You may request to have such information purged from The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) database by sending an email request to info@9thx.com.

The 9thXchange Inc.(and all of it's wholly owned web sites, www.9thxcom, including redirected urls) may share and release information on an aggregated basis only (meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user).
