Privacy Policy
For Parents and Caregivers of NPT Kids:
You have trusted us for many years to provide responsible and quality content for children. As we move into the cyberspace world, this trust becomes even more important to you, and to us. We believe the following steps will improve the safety, value, and enjoyment of your child's visits to our site and our affiliated sites.
-
We will not collect personally identifiable information from your child.
-
If your child sends us an e-mail with a question or comment, or enters one of our contests, we will respond using his or her e-mail, but will not store it for future communications.
-
If we know that your child is under the age of eighteen, we will obtain your permission offline (by postal mail, fax or phone) before we mail any prizes.
-
If your child submits stories, artwork, comments or anything else to us that is posted on our site, he or she will be identified only by first name and age, unless your permission has been obtained to post additional information.
-
If you or your child localize on pbskids.org, a "cookie" will tell us your station's call letters. No personal information is stored in the cookie, even if you have entered your name or email address on other parts of PBS Online.
- We will
also help children, their families and communities find the information
they need to use the Internet safely and responsibly.
- When NPT
Kids and/or PBS Kids sites are partially funded by outside sponsors,
we will mark any underwriter logos with a "sponsored by" tag.
We select our underwriters carefully, to ensure that the company's products
and services fit NPT's standards. NPT Kids and/or PBS Kids sites will
not contain advertisements promoting e-commerce or direct links to e-commerce.
- All links to third party sites are insulated with a NPT Kids bridge page. These pages clearly notify the visitor that he or she is leaving NPT Kids, and offer an opportunity to return to NPT Kids. Each bridge page displays a Web literacy tip, educating visitors how to be safe on the Internet. Since we cannot be assured that links to outside sites follow our safety or privacy guidelines, we encourage adults and children to discuss these choices together. We are not responsible for the content or safety and privacy practices at any sites linked from our pages.
You
and your child's use of this site are conditioned on your having accepted
these terms. You should check back at this policy frequently, since
it is subject to change from time to time, and your continued use of
the site is conditioned upon your acceptance of any modifications hereto.
In addition, please make sure to read NPT's
Site Use Rules to understand the additional terms and conditions
that apply to your use of NPT's site.
We want to make this site a place where families can surf together,
and where parents and caregivers are happy to have their children interact,
learn and play. If you have any comments or questions, we're happy to
hear them. This is, after all, your site.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, send us
an e-mail at TV8@wnpt.net.
You may also contact us at 161 Rains Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203. Please
read the NPT Privacy Policy
and Copyright information
for our other sites.
