"Masking" is a function of using programming techniques such that the displayed
URL does not match the actual pages being viewed (e.g. user is on www.xyz.com,
but the URL displayed is www.abc.com). In certain circumstances, Bebo may use
Masking and, although it will appear that you are still on the Bebo Web site,
you may be on a different site. For example, when you create a widget or when
you upload a video, you may be transferred to a third party's site and the
privacy policy of the applicable third party site applies.
Whenever you voluntarily post personal information in public areas, like
journals, weblogs, message boards and forums, this information can be accessed
by the public and can in turn be used by others to send you unsolicited
communications. Bebo recommends that you exercise discretion in deciding what
information you disclose on the Internet.
- Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use Bebo and must not
  attempt to register with Bebo and/or submit any personal information to us. Bebo
  does not knowingly collect personal information from any person who is under the
  age of 13 or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have
  collected personal data from a person under the age of 13, we will delete this
  information as quickly as possible. If you have reason to believe that this has
  occurred, please contact us via the Contact Us
  page, and we will delete any such information.
- We recommend that children between the ages of 13 and 17 should not send any
  information about themselves to anyone over the Internet without asking their
  parents or legal guardians for permission beforehand. Bebo is a member of the
