Whenever CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION becomes aware that a user is under the age of 18 years, a minor’s parent or legal guardian may request CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION to provide a description of the personally identifiable information, if any, that CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION has collected from the minor, as well as instruct CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION to cease further use, maintenance and collection of any such personally identifiable information from the minor.
