Interior Federal does not knowingly solicit data from children. Interior Federal recognizes that protecting children’s identities and privacy on-line is important, and the responsibility to do so, rests with both online industry and parents. Due to the requirement that all online accounts have an email address associated with them, we are aware that accounts for minors may have active email addresses for the minor or the custodian. Interior Federal emails in general never solicit personal or financial information.
