KidDotComs Privacy Notice

September 03, 2007

The KidDotComs Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information when you use KidDotComs' products and services, including information provided when your children access their profiles.

At KidDotComs, we recognize that privacy is important and even more so to parents of young children.

Personal information

  • You need a KidDotComs Account to access KidDotComs. KidDotComs requires some personal information when you create a KidDotComs Account, including your e-mail address, name and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access. A KidDotComs Account must be activated by visiting a kiddotcoms.com website link which verifies the account e-mail address.
  • KidDotComs processes and maintains your account, profiles, website lists and other data related to your account in order to provide the service to you.
  • When you use KidDotComs, KidDotComs' servers automatically record certain information about your use of the service. Similar to other web services, KidDotComs records information such as account activity (number of log-ins, number of profile visits), data displayed or clicked on (including UI elements, links); and other log information (including browser type, IP-address, date and time of access, cookie ID, and referrer URL).

Uses

  • KidDotComs maintains and processes your account and its contents to provide the KidDotComs service to you and to improve our services. The KidDotComs service includes lists of reviewed child-oriented websites, recommendations of other sites that fit your accounts usage, reports and other information related to your accounts use of KidDotComs.
  • KidDotComs' computers process the visits and linked websites in your profiles for various purposes, including recommendations to other account holders, ranking popularity of websites, tracking usage for reporting purposes, and other purposes relating to offering you KidDotComs.
  • KidDotComs may send you information related to your KidDotComs account or other KidDotComs services.

Information sharing and onward transfer

  • When a profile link is clicked, KidDotComs tracks which link was activated and forwards the user on to the selected site.
  • We do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information with any third parties except in the limited circumstances described in the KidDotComs Privacy Policy, such as when we believe we are required to do so by law.
  • If KidDotComs becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who visited a particular site, for example, or how many users have a particular link in their profile. Such information does not identify you, your account or your children.

Your choices

  • You may change your KidDotComs account settings through the KidDotComs "My Account" section.
  • You may organize or delete your profiles and their links to external sites through your KidDotComs account or terminate your account through the KidDotComs "My Account" section. Such deletions or terminations will take immediate effect in your account view.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We expect most changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice. Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date.
