How do we protect the privacy of children under 13 years of age?
Books of Wonder is very concerned about the safety and privacy of children. That's why we always suggests that parents monitor the Internet viewing habits of their children — it's the best way to ensure that your young ones are not seeing or doing things on the Internet that you would not approve of.

It is the policy of Books of Wonder to recommend that only adults enter information sensitive material on our site (such as names, addresses, credit card numbers, etc.). However, if you do allow your children to browse through the site, and request information via one of our fill-in forms (which they are free to do with your consent), we treat that information as we do all information we collect; with the utmost care and concern for privacy. Again, we WILL NOT rent, loan, sell or transfer personal information about our customers or their children to any third party.

Books of Wonder sells children's products for purchase by adults. We do not encourage or offer products to be purchased at our website by children. If you are under 18, you may use the Books of Wonder website only with the permission, guidance, oversight, and involvement of a parent or guardian.
