We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems. We encourage parents to go online with their kids.

Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

• Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult.
• This includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
• Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
• Look for Web site privacy policies.
• Know how your child’s information is treated.
