Effective Date

This Privacy Policy was last updated on February 28, 2009, and applies to all information previously obtained by Kidlandia, Inc. Kidlandia reserves the right to change its privacy policy at its sole discretion. Kidlandia users will be informed of any such change by Kidlandia posting a new privacy policy on the Kidlandia Site. The effective date of any change of the privacy policy will be clearly marked. Kidlandia is committed to providing a fun, entertaining, and safe website for people of all ages. Our information practices are designed to comply with the United States Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act "COPPA". This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Use for the Site. Please review this Privacy Policy regularly so that you will be aware of any changes to it. Your continued use of the Site and/or provision of personally identifiable information by you to us following any such revision means you accept and will be subject to the revised Privacy Policy. Any revision to our data collection, use and disclosure practices that might require notice and/or verifiable parental consent for users of our site under the age of 13 will be done in accordance with COPPA. Any terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings given such terms in the Terms of Use.

Personal Information Collection and Use Policies

It is our policy to require only the minimal collection of information from our users. We do not condition a child's participation in any of our online activities on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. The safety of our users has always been our highest priority and to that end, we have devised a registration system that is intended to be completed by the parent on behalf of their child. In the registration process to become a member of Kidlandia, we ask the parent to click on links stating that they have read both the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and that they agree to comply with both. We then ask the parent to choose for their child a username (not a personally identifiable name) and password and to provide their child’s gender. We ask for username and password so that each time their child logs on they have their saved, personalized maps and/or avatar and collected points available to them for play in Kidlandia. We ask for gender in order to program the text on the map as a boy or girl character. Finally, we ask for a parent email so that we can send an email to the parent which directs them to click on a link in the email to activate the child’s account. The email addresses we collect are primarily used for our automated account activation and password retrieval systems and to verify parental consent of children to use the Site. We retain the right to communicate safety and privacy messages, general updates, and usability features via email. If an account has been inactive for 12 months or longer, we reserve the right to purge all of the user information associated with the account from our database.

To protect your child's privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting you access to the information that we collect and maintain about your child.

Communication Tools

Kidlandia's communication tools facilitate interactivity within our community. These tools include real-time chat. Kidlandia chat is protected by our proprietary filter technology, selective monitoring by staff members, and peer reporting to prevent users from sharing personal information.

Cookies

Kidlandia uses a software technology called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that we place in visitors' computer browsers to store their preferences. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information. Although cookies could enable us to relate a visitor's use of this web site to personal information that a visitor has provided, such as an email address, we do not use them for this purpose. We do use "cookies" to determine how many visitors we have and how often they visit various sections of our site.

Web Visit Logs

We may collect information about you through technology we use to make our web site more interesting and useful to you. We routinely collect our users' visit information including pages visited on Kidlandia, the date and time of the visit, IP address, and the version of browser used. We use this information for improving Kidlandia's content and services and for investigating cases of suspected abuse.

Third Parties

We do not share any personally identifiable information of our users with any third parties, commercial or otherwise, except that we may provide such information to parties involved in a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Kidlandia or to a party that purchases substantially all of our assets related to the Site. We may, however, also comply with requests for personally identifiable information from law enforcement or other governmental agencies, or requested pursuant to subpoena. We may share aggregated statistical data with our sponsors, partners, or the general public.
