Kid's Privacy
Kids love the Internet as much as we do. They can play games, watch videos and chat with friends. But children and adolescents can fall prey to exploitation if parents, teachers and caregivers don't take the necessary precautions. It's important to monitor where your kids are surfing. By law, websites that collect information from kids under 13 must post their privacy policy. This should include the type of information they solicit, how that information will be used, and whether the information is shopped to third parties for the purpose of marketing. Parents and caregivers should learn to read the privacy policy in order to make an informed decision on whether the site is a safe domain for your child to spend his or her leisure time. Protecting your child on the Internet is essential now more than ever, as web predators are harming more defenseless children every day.
