PARENTS NOTICE

It is important for you to talk with your child about using the Internet safely. Here are just a few things to keep in mind when talking to your kids about the Internet:

Remind your child to never give out their full name, address, or phone number without your permission.

Tell your child that if they receive something that they are not sure about, to let you know.

Impress upon your child the importance of never engaging others in a communication that would put them at risk, such as agreeing to meet someone they've been "chatting" with, but never met.

OUR GENERAL PRIVACY POLICY

I. INFORMATION COLLECTED

Our Site only requests personally identifiable information, actually, only e-mail addresses, when a user wants to send a question or comment to us or a post card to someone else. Once we respond to the question or, if necessary, the comment, we delete the e-mail address. We do not maintain, in any retrievable manner, any e-mail address used to send a post card from our site. Only the recipient of the post card knows the sender's e-mail address.

WE DO NOT REQUEST NOR COLLECT ANY INFORMATION OTHER THAN WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW A USER TO PARTICIPATE ON OUR SITE.

We collect aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about users of the Site in the form of "log files" (IP addresses and browser settings).

II. USE OF INFORMATION

We only use e-mail addresses that are submitted to to respond to a question or comment. Once we respond, the e-mail address is deleted. NO OTHER USES ARE MADE OF THESE E-MAIL ADDRESSES. Once a card is sent, or a question is answered, all information related to the user is deleted. We do not maintain any personally identifiable information about users of the site.

We use non-personally identifiable information collected on the Site to make the Site better by, for example, improving content offerings and making navigation around the Site easier. This information is entirely non-personal and does not identify any user individually.
