KidZone's Privacy Policy
Last update: January 26, 2000.
http://www.gzkidzone.com
GameZone's KidZone was designed for kids of all ages - a fun place where kids and parents can easily browse through hundreds of edutainment and children's entertainment computer
products.
KidZone's Principles
(1) We are committed to protecting the privacy of each visitor.
(2) We adhere strictly to our carefully considered policy on data collection.
(3) We will not give, trade, sell, or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide to us.
(4) We reserve the right to analyze and summarize data that we collect. At times, we will share summaries of demographic data with sponsors; but we will never provide any specific information about an individual in any of these reports unless we specifically state we will (as with some sponsored contests).
(5) We strongly advise that children always talk to their parents before submitting any personal information to this or any other Web site. Parents: please refer to our
Recommended Guidelines to
Parents
&
Kids.
KidZone's Content
In addition to our own content, KidZone provides links to software publishers, game sites, and sites with other related activities for children. Because we do not control these sites or third-party links from them to other sites, we cannot be responsible for their changing content or privacy policies.
Third-party links provided within KidZone (for example, downloads or cheats) may or may not link to age appropriate sites, even though the information is pertinent to that product.
While we do categorize software titles in our 'Boys' and 'Girls' sections according to general subject matter, we do not discriminate against either gender. In fact, many times titles overlap both sections.
Why Does KidZone Ask Me to Register?
We ask you to register for certain optional activities, and we do collect and retain this voluntary information, because it genuinely helps us better deliver content to you. The more we know about what our visitors like, the better able we are to create the kind of site you want. Also, in order to remain a free site, this site is supported in part by responsible advertising. The information visitors like you provide helps us communicate with advertisers as to the type of people in general who visit this site, and ultimately to bring valuable, relevant advertising information to you. At times, our sponsors may provide free prizes for drawings and contests, but they want to make sure our visitors really represent their audience. And to be really truthful, the more sponsorship dollars we can attract to KidZone, the more interesting things we can add to the site for your educational benefit and enjoyment.
What Personal Information Does
KidZone Collect?
We only collect information you voluntarily supply us when registering for certain optional activities. We stress parental involvement and permission before a child supplies information on our Web site. We explain in clear language easily understood by a child why any information is being requested and how it will be used. We only ask for very essential information that helps us learn more about the kids using our KidZone.
· Name (preferably a nickname)
· Email Address
· Parent's Email Address (for us to obtain parental permission for children under age 13)
· General Demographic Information (requested for participation in some activities)
Does KidZone Allow Me to Change
My Registration Information?
You can change the registration information you provided us at any time, but we request that kids first ask a parent for permission. Parents need to supervise their children's use of the Internet and e-mail.
Corrections/Updates - If you need to change any of your registration information, send an email message to
webmaster@gzkidzone.com and provide the new/updated information.
Unsubscribes - If you no longer want to receive our Newsletter, send an email message to
unsubscribe@gzkidzone.com and we will stop sending our Newsletter to you.
What Are 'Cookies'?
Cookies are basically a powerful technology that gathers and keeps track of information while you are browsing the Internet - information that is being gathered without your knowledge. Unlike many sites, we do not currently use cookies to collect information about our visitors. We will let you know if, and to what extent, we may use them in the future.
