This Privacy Statement and the certification seal shown on this page confirm that Square Enix is a member in good standing of ESRB's Privacy Online Program. ESRB's Privacy Online Program is designed to ensure that our Website's information disclosure practices are responsible and appropriate. To protect your privacy, we have voluntarily undertaken this privacy initiative and all of our Websites have been reviewed and certified by ESRB Privacy Online to meet established online information collection and use practices. As part of this privacy program, we are subject to frequent audits of our Websites and other enforcement and accountability mechanisms administered independently by the ESRB.

Because the Website you are currently visiting displays the ESRB Privacy Online certification seal, you can expect to be notified of the following:

• What does this Kids Privacy Policy apply to?
• What types of information does Square Enix collect about kids?
• How does Square Enix use and share the personally identifiable information that we collect from kids?
• How does Square Enix notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their kids?
• How can parents access, change or delete personally identifiable information about their kids?
• What kinds of security measures does Square Enix take to safeguard kids' personally identifiable information?
• How do I ask a question or file a complaint about Square Enix's Kids Privacy Policy?

Building on our general Privacy Policy, we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections when children visit the sites on which this Kids' Privacy Policy is posted. Our Kids' Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information collected online from children. It also describes how parents can review the personal information that we have collected.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that we inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age; and that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use certain features of our Websites.

The website you are currently visiting is operated by Square Enix from its offices in the United States located at 999 N. Sepulveda Blvd., 3rd Floor, El Segundo, CA 90245. Square Enix does not represent that our Websites are appropriate or available for use in other countries. If you choose to visit our Websites from another country, you do so at your own initiative, with the understanding that information collected by our Websites may be stored, collected, and used in a country whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home country.

This Kids Privacy Policy currently applies to the following website(s) operated by Square Enix (collectively referred to as "Square Enix Kid Websites" or "our Websites"):

• http://na.square-enix.com/chocobotales/

In the future, if we wish to include additional websites under this Kids Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to list them above and ensure that they provide a link to this Kids Privacy Policy.

This Kids Privacy Policy applies only to information submitted and collected online through the Square Enix Kid Websites (as listed above), and does not apply to information that may be collected by Square Enix offline, except for parental consent forms that parents submit by mail, fax or email. In addition, this Kids Privacy Policy does not extend to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link (i.e., third party websites).

Please note that by using our Websites, you signify your assent to Square Enix's Kids Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Kids Privacy Policy, please do not use our Websites. We reserve the right to make changes to this Kids Privacy Policy without notice. However, if we make any changes to this Kids Privacy Policy we will post a new policy on our Websites with a date at the end of the Kids Privacy Policy indicating when we made such changes or modifications, if any. Please check back from time to time to ensure that you are aware of these changes. Your continued use of our Websites will signify your acceptance of these changes.

Kids can surf Square Enix's sites, view content, and enjoy many features without any personal information being collected. We don't collect personal information from kids while they use our sites unless their parents complete a parental consent form for the child to enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion. Only in that case will we collect personal information from kids.

Typically, this information includes:

1. first and last name,
2. email address,
3. date of birth
4. telephone number, and
5. address

Note that commercial sites directed to children under 13 are prohibited by law from conditioning a kid's participation in an online activity on the kid providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

We may collect personal information from parents to allow kids to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other promotions.

If a child wins a sweepstakes, contest or other promotional event, we notify the parent and child at the email address provided to us during the parental consent process, and request that the parent provide his or her postal address for purposes of delivering the prize. We may publish a winner's first and last name, city, and state of residence in accordance with our sweepstakes rules.

Square Enix may share kids' personal information with outside entities hired to assist with internal operations (e.g., sweepstakes processors). These entities have agreed to maintain confidentiality, security, and integrity of all the personal information they obtain from us.

We may disclose your kid's personal information in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, including but not limited to disclosure to law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose your kid or us to legal liability. In addition, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, Square Enix's customer information may be transferred to our successor or assign.

When a child under the age of 13 attempts to register to enter a sweepstakes on one of our Websites, we direct the child to a page with a downloadable parental consent form for the parent to download, complete, and fax or mail back to us. The form grants us consent to collect the child's personal information, enter the child into the sweepstakes and use the winner's information in accordance with a sweepstakes official rules.

A child's personal information is used solely for purposes of entering a sweepstakes, contest or promotion. In order to ensure the integrity of a contest, information cannot be accessed, updated or deleted after it has been submitted for entry.

Square Enix uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of kids' personal information collected on our Websites. Personal information collected by Square Enix is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public and that are only accessible to authorized employees. All personal information about a child will be destroyed within 30 days after the contest winners are confirmed.
