NOTICE TO PARENTS
PROVIDENCE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM takes great pride in the high-quality educational
experiences we provide for children, as well as the public trust we have secured
in doing so. As we move into providing an online Kids & Family service
on the Web, this trust becomes even more important to you, and to us. We believe
the following understanding will enhance the safety, value and enjoyment of
your child's visits to PROVIDENCE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM's Web site.
It is our goal to provide service on our site while maintaining our strong
commitment to identifying children and protecting their privacy. When we collect
information from our Web visitors, we routinely ask them to confirm whether
they are older than 18 years of age. If we learn that a user is younger than
18, we will not store his/her personal information for future communication.
PROVIDENCE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM does not willfully disclose to any third party
any personally identifiable information about our online visitors who have
identified themselves as younger than 18.
From time to time, we may offer contests, quizzes and surveys in sections
of PROVIDENCE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM Web site. Our sole objective in these endeavors
is to offer young visitors appropriate and entertaining interactive content.
When we showcase online content specifically for young people that requires
identifying information, we ask children to gain permission from a parent
or caregiver first (e.g., "Hey, kids, before you enter our contest, make
sure you get permission to participate from a parent or whoever takes care
of you.")
If we know a visitor is younger than 18, we collect parental/caregiver permission
offline (by U.S. mail, fax or phone) before we mail any prizes to the child.
If your child submits stories, artwork, written comments or anything else
for us to post on our site, he or she will be identified only by first name,
age and state.
Your and your child's use of this site are conditioned on your having accepted
these terms. Please check this policy frequently, as it is subject to change
from time to time, and your child's continued use of the site is conditioned
upon your acceptance of any modifications hereto.
We want to make this site a safe haven for where families to 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'd happy to hear
them.
Please see our PROVIDENCE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM Privacy
Policy for more information about our site's overall practices and policies.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, send us an e-mail
at provcm@childrenmuseum.org.
