On my personal/hobby website I have an extensive COPPA (Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act) compliance statement. You can see it
at

For WebGuard, however, I do not have such a link.
I do have a disclosure link at
http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/wbg1/web_guard.htm
But I do not have a disclosure link at
http://ringdeli.com/newsite.pl?ringid=webguard
AND, I do not ask for age of the registrant.
I am now exploring the best way to add such a disclosure link and
to ask for the age in order to comply with COPPA.
A while ago I learned about that COPPA statement, and I summarized my
interpretation of it at http://www.webringworld.org/mailarc/msg01109.html
Accordingly, I now ask: Do you run your Web Guard Webring for
commersial purposes? And if not, is there an issue?
Question: would it be useful to do it in such a way that others
could use it also? That is, should I address this as a peculiar
need of my site? Or should I try to "enhance" Ringlink?
If there really is a general need, it would make very much sense to
modify Ringlink. But I'm hesitating to load the standard distribution
with something that would typically be unnecessary.
After all, this COPPA thing is just another of those "US
pecularities", right? :)
