I have a site that has an “Ask the Author” corner where children can email questions to featured authors. Do I need to provide notice and obtain parental consent?
No. This feature will likely fall under the one-time contact exception. If your site simply answers the childs question and then deletes the childs email address (and does not otherwise maintain or store the childs personal information in any form), you fall into the one-time contact exception and do not need to obtain parental consent.
