 Children's Privacy

Protecting anyone's privacy, including and perhaps especially children's privacy is very important to us.

It is our policy to comply with, support and recognize the
Children's Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other U.S. applicable laws and good measures.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without consent from their parent's or guardian's consent.

We do not direct any of our content specifically at children.

We take specific steps to protect the privacy of children by:
· making reasonable efforts to ensure that a parent/guardian has authorized the collection of the child's personal data and use of the child's personal data for the disclosure to parties.
· giving parents/guardians the option to consent to the collection and use of the child's personal data for our internal use and use of the child's personal data for the disclosure to parties.

Additionally, to ensure that children's privacy is respected on our Web site, we:
· recognize the right of a parent/guardian to have the right to speak for and overrule for their child, and if it comes to our attention a person under 18 wants to make a purchase etc. we will immediately notify their parent/guardian to receive consent first for any purchase etc., and when it comes to our attention will remove any child from a marketing list unless consented to and requested by their parent/guardian.
· ask all purchases from anyone 18 and younger that they must first have permission from their parent/guardian if using a credit card and other purchases.
· may ask for year of birth for confirmation of age.

Our websites are general audience sites and while we make every effort to ensure that these websites are fun and age appropriate for our younger audiences and are safe and secure, we believe there is no better way of guiding, helping, protecting etc., kids than proper parental supervision.

We recommend that children ask their parent/s or guardian/s for permission before sending personal information to us or anyone else, and also that parent's/guardian's and everyone else research and study good available resources out there that will help.

 Disclosure and Visitor Choice

We do not disclose your personal data to our subsidiaries or other organizations unless by your personal voluntary consent.

 Confidentiality / Security

We give you the option of using a secure transmission method to send us the following types of personal data:
· primary personal data (such as name and contact details)
· identifiers (such as credit card details, Web site password)

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our products or services, and you do so at your own risk, once we receive your transmission/transaction we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security.

We have implemented security policies, rules and technical industry-standard measures to monitor and identify traffic and to protect the personal data that we have under our control from:
· unauthorized access
· improper use or disclosure
· unauthorized modification
· unlawful destruction or accidental loss

All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors' personal data.

We ensure that your personal data will not be disclosed to State institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation such as the

Electronics Communications Privacy Act.

We do not share, sell or rent our mailing list.  We also intend to challenge any subpoena or other legal process seeking access to our mailing list.

We want to provide the best security and privacy on our end with our policies, methods, measures and resources; also, because of its importance, we feel the need and responsibility to also provide and support many privacy, security and other organizations. We provide resource information on our links page and encourage you to visit it and also to research and support other good organizations etc..  We encourage people to be informed about consumer laws and protections from Government, non-profit and other private organizations etc., that support and use resources and policies for the same (Like credit card company insurances, the FTC, www.epic.org and many more).  We also list links to legal and reputable proxy and privacy software sites and other privacy sites that may help you have more privacy on the internet.  We will always hope and strive for positive continuations in better resources/methods, in providing consistent service, having top security and safety, and protecting all our rights like privacy, and encourage everyone to do so also.
