Knowingly use or share personal information from users under 13 years of age with third parties;

Online marketing resources are an excellent way of finding specific information or products quickly. Local libraries can often offer resources on local issues, but may not hold similar information for other states. Research and shopping can be carried out without having to visit a local library, municipal office, or shop in person. This means that marketers, researchers, students, and shoppers have a broader choice of suppliers to choose from.
