Committed to Keeping Kids Safe Online
We want to make sure that kids have a safe, enjoyable place to spend time
online. We created Postopia as a site for kids to have fun on, and for parents.
All interaction among children on the site is anonymous. There are a few
scenarios where we will require contact information: (A) If you or your child
request help from Post, (B) e-mail anyone from within the site (by playing and
sharing activities) and (C) when redeeming prizes. To read more about it,
consult our
Privacy Policy.
Safety on Postopia:
Check to see that your child has chosen a Postopian name that is completely
anonymous. It shouldn't contain any variation of a real name, address, birthday
or any other personal information.
Review the password your child has chosen for the same information as stated in
the above.
Make sure that the password isn't the same as the Postopian Name.
If your child is a prize-winner on Postopia, you will need to fill out a
Permission Form to redeem it.
As a service to parents, we have provided some additional guidelines for
general online safety.
Postopia does not engage in any of the activities mentioned below.
These are simply a few things to keep in mind when your child spends any time
online:
Don't give out identifying information -- home address, school name or
telephone number-- in a public message such as chat or bulletin boards, and be
sure you're dealing with someone that both you and your child know and trust
before giving it out via e-mail. Think carefully before revealing any personal
information such as marital status or financial information. Consider using a
pseudonym or unlisting your child's name if your service allows it.
Get to know the services your child uses. Find out what types of information it
offers and whether there are ways for parents to block out objectionable
material.
Set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use by your children. You may
want to discuss these rules and post them near the computer as a reminder.
Remember to monitor their compliance with these rules, especially when it comes
to the amount of time your children spend on the computer. A child or
teenager's excessive use of online services or bulletin boards, especially late
at night, may be a clue that there is a potential problem.
Try to make this a family activity. Consider keeping the computer in a family
room rather than the child's bedroom. Get to know their "online friends" just
as you get to know all of their other friends.
