SAFETY FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

The web is a great place for kids to hang out and learn about topics that are of interest to them. However, there are areas on the Internet that are not appropriate for children. The guidelines we have drawn up are a starting point for parents of children who surf. The most important thing is to be aware of what your children are doing online. This may mean surfing with your children, or talking to them about the sites that they like, or that they have recently discovered on the web. Since Treehouse is targeted to preschool aged children, we encourage parents to enjoy the experience of the Treehouse website with their children and make surfing a family activity.

Parents should be aware that some browsers use a password feature to block use of the internet. There are also software programs that allow the blocking of certain sites - each program works differently and can be adapted based on individual parenting styles.

Parents should also be aware that we check out any website that we link to, to ensure the best and safest environment for kids and parents to explore.

PRIVACY POLICY

We understand and appreciate the concerns that parents and families may have, with regard to the information we gather about the users surfing our website.

It is our policy that all children aged 13 and under require parent's approval before providing any personal information. Don't ever allow your children to submit any personal information without your prior consent.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

On the Treehouse TV Website, we may, on occasion, gather personal information from a user (name and address), as part of a contest. There may be opportunities for Treehouse website users to enter a Treehouse contest directly via the website. Any information that is collected for the purpose of a contest is used only to award prizes, to track compliance with the official rules and regulations and/or for internal feedback purposes. If Treehouse intends to use a winner's personally identifying information, such as a name or photograph, the contest winner is notified prior to use and the appropriate release forms must be completed by a parent/guardian and returned.

Treehouse uses third party service providers to fulfil its contests and execute mobile features. The information collected by these third party service providers is solely for the purpose of the contest fulfilment and execution of mobile features. All information received from our visitors remains the exclusive property of Treehouse and is not sold or distributed.  Once a user’s information is no longer required it is deleted. Third party service providers are contractually bound to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose. User consent to use personal information can be withdrawn at any time. 

Opt-In/Opt-Out

We do not sell or otherwise share personally identifiable information about individual users without the prior approval of the user at the place on our site where we collect the information. On the page where we ask for that information, there is a prominently displayed method to indicate to us that you do or do not want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about products, services and offerings. Check the appropriate box and your information may be used as described above. Leave it blank, and we consider it an opt-out. Either way, it is always your choice.

GENERAL WEBSITE TRAFFIC

We at Treehouse keep track of total accesses to our site. All information gathered in this way is generic, and we do not track any individual users from this, but only calculate how many accesses have taken place.

COOKIE TECHNOLOGY

Cookie technology is used on our site to maximize the site experience. For example, we use cookies to keep track of a user's time zone information which allows us to customize our schedule and give accurate show times. We also use cookies to keep track of a user's selections on the "My Favourites" page. No personal information is gathered from these cookies.

EMAIL IDENTIFICATION

When a user sends a message to Treehouse through the Treehouse Website, two pieces of information are automatically stamped on the message. These are the time that the message was sent, and the IP address it was sent from. This is done as a precaution against threatening emails we may receive towards Treehouse, its staff, or anyone else. It is only ever used to find the source of a message in those extreme cases where we feel someone's safety may be at risk.

We hope you and your children continue to enjoy your surfing experience on Treehousetv.com and feel free to contact us if you have any comments or concerns regarding Treehouse or Treehousetv.com
