Thanks to the Internet, our children have unprecedented access to the world's knowledge base. From a computer in a school library or on a kitchen table, today's student literally can access information virtually anywhere with a few keystrokes and an inexpensive modem. Through e-mail and discussion groups, children share hobbies and learn about different cultures in online communities of children around the world. We at TOOBEEZ®, LLC believe our children will adopt what we call a Web Lifestyle, in which the Internet and its resources are a foundation of their life. Whether planning a vacation, scheduling automobile repair or attending a college class, they will depend on the Internet as we rely today on the telephone. Yet like most communities, the Internet has its perils. Many parents and teachers would never consider allowing children to wander unaccompanied through the streets of a major city, and nor should they permit children unsupervised access to the Internet. TOOBEEZ®, LLC believes that parents are the appropriate arbiters of a child's Internet experience. We want to help you decide how to help your child have a pleasant travel through the online world, and to let you know that we are actively supporting you. We were an advocate of online privacy rights, adopting a privacy policy that warns children to not give us any personal information without parents' permission. We also have jointly sponsored non-partisan Internet sites where you can learn about the Internet, how to enjoy it safely, and how to ensure your children use it appropriately.Information about COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) :: click here for more details ::
