Minors

We at Too Smart To Start are especially concerned about protecting children's privacy. We urge parents and teachers to be involved in children's Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information on line. We always suggest that children get their parents' or guardians' permission before providing any information on line -- at our site or any other site -- and hope parents and guardians will always be involved in those decisions. Most importantly, when children do provide information through this Web site, it is only used to enable us to respond to the writer, and not to create profiles of children. The information is all subject to the Privacy Act. Parents can request for any personal information to be removed by writing.
