To those that really wish to know:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act
http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm

The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction from children under 13 years of age. It details what a websiteoperator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing to those under 13. While children under 13 can legally give out personal information with their parents' permission, many websites altogether disallow underage children from using their services due to the amount of paperwork involved.

what does that mean in simple terms?

As a website, we cannot 'collect information' ie application which has email, age, game name, etc, from someone under age. When you create a login account to any website you agree that your of age to use said website.

So if you signed up for any site that states you have to be 13 years or older and you better be that age or up.

After all, children are our future. This was put in place to protect children's privacy and safety online, for all our kids.
