Your child’s privacy is important to us. Here are some important things you should know about web surfing, privacy and personal information:

1) Think carefully about giving anyone on the Internet any personal information about yourself or your family. This includes your last name, your home address or your home telephone number.

2) Encourage your children not to let other kids know their user ID’s (if recorded), screen name or password.

3) Talk to your children about the sites they intend to visit so you can ensure they are safe and child-friendly.

4) Talk about this privacy section (and terms & conditions if they intend to participate in the prize draws) with your children so that you will know what information the site collects about your children and what it does with that information.

5) If a website has information about your children you don’t want it to have, you have the right to ask the website to delete or erase this information.

6) Sites are not supposed to collect more information than is reasonably necessary for the activities you and your children want to participate in. You should be able to participate in many online activities by giving little or no information about yourself.
If a site makes you or your children uncomfortable, or asks for more information than you want to give, leave the site.
