Children's Privacy Notice

Hello! Thank you for visiting our web site.  We hope you have done so with the help of a parent or teacher because that is one of the best ways to explore the Internet and make sure that the sites you visit are educational and fun.

If you’re under 13 and surfing the web, a new law puts you and your parents in charge of what other people know about you.  Some examples include your full name, home address, e-mail address, phone number, age, or gender.  Be sure to talk to your parents if you have any questions.  Please read the rest of this page to learn about how the our web site handles your private information.

For parents:  Children's Privacy Protection Act

When you visit our web site at http://www.uveitis.org we do not collect any information from your computer.  You don’t register or log in to visit our web site--it’s open to everyone.

However, if you want to talk to other kids online who have uveitis, you will need to register for the Kids Club first. 

If you are 13 years of age or younger, please have a parent contact us about your interest in joining.  The information we request before registering you is your your name, a parent's name and eMail address, and your eMail address.  This information will be treated confidentially.  It is used by the webmaster to create your Kids Club password account and for no other purpose.

We do have links on our web site that take you to other web sites.  We have checked the web sites we link to and think they are good.  But, web site content can change at anytime and they don't have to tell anyone that they have changed.  So, when leaving the Uveitis Kids Page, please be sure to check the privacy policy of each new site you visit.  If they ask for your name or address, be sure to tell your parents and get their permission first.  

Here is a good link to help you protect yourself and learn how to be a smart and safe web user:

We are very interested in what you have to say.  If you write to us, we use your e-mail address from your message to respond to you.  It is up to you whether you tell us who you are and where you live but make sure it is okay with a parent or guardian first -- and any other time you provide information on line. If you are not sure it is okay with them, you can always come back and visit the site again later, when you have their permission.

We promise not to tell anyone anything that you tell us.  The only time we cannot keep this promise is if someone breaks the law and tries to mess up our web pages. Then, the police will need information from us to capture the person who is doing this.

 

Remember! Although, we do not keep information on you, some computers might. They have to tell you first if they are going to keep information about you and they should tell you why and for how long they keep the information. Make sure your parents know about these computers before you give any information about yourself!  Click here to read more about Safe Surfing for Kids.
