You should be skeptical about any information on the Site because the information may be offensive, harmful, and/or wrong. Neither the content of the Site, nor the links to other websites contained therein, are routinely moderated, screened, approved, reviewed, or endorsed by EC Hispanic Media or any affiliated person or entity.

If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on the Site or on or through any of its features, register on the Site, use any of the interactive or public comment features on the Site, or provide any information about yourself to us. See our Privacy Policy for more information about contacting EC Hispanic Media if you believe we have collected information from a child under 13.

EC Hispanic Media allows minors under the age of 18 years old to access, or become Registered Users of echispanicmedia.com. Notwithstanding this, if you are a minor under the age of 18 years old and a Registered User you may request removal of your User Contributions posted on the Site. To request removal of a User Contribution, you must notify us at [email protected]. When you contact EC Hispanic Media to request removal of a User Contribution, we require you to authenticate your status as a Registered User and to identify the particular User Contribution to be removed by providing the (1) URL to the User Contribution, (2) the date and time at which the User Contribution was posted, and (3) the contents of the User Contribution. If you do not properly notify us, authenticate your status as a Registered User, or properly identify the particular User Contribution to be removed, EC Hispanic Media is not required to remove your User Contribution and removal will be in our sole discretion.

Removal of User Contributions from the Site does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of your User Contributions from the Site. EC Hispanic Media, in our sole discretion, may retain your User Contributions on our servers in some form. However, removal will render your User Contribution invisible to other users of the Site. We may, in our sole discretion, decide to anonymize your User Contribution such that you cannot be individually identified, rather than remove the User Contribution. In the event your User Contribution is anonymized, it will remain visible to other users of the Site.

EC Hispanic Media is not responsible for the removal of User Contributions that are cached, copied, or reposted by third parties. Likewise, to the extent that any provision of federal or state law requires us to maintain certain User Contributions, we will not remove the User Contribution from the Site.
