Notice Concerning Children
IVHS intends only persons who are 18 years or older to use this website, except with the permission and/or assistance of their parent or legal guardian.

We encourage parents and guardians of children under 18 to regularly check and monitor their children’s use of email and other activities online.
We are a general audience site, and do not direct any of our content specifically at children under 13 years of age. We understand and are committed to respecting the sensitive nature of children’s privacy online. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a site user is under age 13, we will promptly delete any personal information in that user’s account.
