Upon receipt of such request, the business may be required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed, in certain circumstances.

9. CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT

   This DoctorBase Website is not intended to be used by minors. DoctorBase does not knowingly solicit, collect, or accept any information from or about minors via the Website.

   If DoctorBase becomes aware that a person submitting personal information through any part of the DoctorBase Website is a child, DoctorBase may delete the information as soon as it is actually discovered and DoctorBase does not use it for any purpose or disclose it to third parties.

   Since DoctorBase does not seek to collect any personal information about children, and deletes any information collected inadvertently as soon as DoctorBase discovers that a child has submitted it, DoctorBase typically retains no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before DoctorBase has discovered and deleted the information, then DoctorBase will honor that request.
