Children's Privacy Policy (for www.nourishinteractive.com/kids)

Although nourishinteractive.com is not only designed for children, we realize that they may use the service, and we encourage them to do so.

We provide a section on our website designated for children (www.nourishinteractive.com/kids). This area of our site does not offer account registration, advertisements, or other features that collect personal information from children. We also take measures to partition this area of our site from the grown-up section of our site.

We may allow children to invite their parents, teachers, or other guardians to create a master account on the grown-up section of our site. This feature would only collect an email address from the child, which would be used on a one-time basis to send the parent or other grown-up an invitation to create an account. The purpose of account creation on nourishinteractive.com is so that a parent/grown-up can manage their children’s information and activities on the kids’ section of our site.

All other personal information collected or used on our site is gathered exclusively in the non-kids area of our site and is used to provide features and services intended for users 18 and older. A parent or grown-up can create children profiles or a group of children profiles under their master account. These profiles, which entail anonymous usernames, can then be used by children to login to the children’s area of our site to earn points for gameplay activity.

We do not collect and store any personal information directly from children users, and therefore cannot share any personal information collected from such users. We also do not provide children access to any features (such as chat, community boards, etc.) that would enable them to share personal information publicly or with other users.

With regard to the children profiles created under a parent/educator account, the adult owner of the account can view and modify the children profiles at any time, as well as set restrictions on whether children can modify parts of their profile (such as their login password). The account owner also has the option to remove/delete a child profile at any time. These changes can be made under the My Page area after logging in to the master account.

For any other requests, including a request to learn more about what information we collect from children or that we discontinue any collection or use of your child’s personal information, please contact us using the information below:

We believe that parents should supervise their children's online activities and also consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can sometimes prevent children from disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission. We want children to enjoy Nourishinteractive.com as much as adults do, but responsible computing is first and foremost a family matter. Please help us protect your child's privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information on this site or any other without your permission.
