Noggin / The N Privacy Rights

New York, NY 10019

Privacy Policy
/noggin20072009/ is a site where preschoolers and their parents can play educational games, make stuff and find out more about the shows on Noggin. At /noggin20072009/, we strive to educate preschoolers and their parents about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when traveling on the web. We are committed to complying fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. Our information collection practices are described below. We urge preschoolers to check with their parent or guardian before entering any information on any website and we urge parents and guardians to discuss with their preschoolers restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don't know.

What Information Is Collected
At /noggin20072009/, it is our policy to create website content that requires minimal collection of information from our visitors. Consequently, /noggin20072009/ generally limits its collection of information to what is known as non-personal information (e.g. an online username, password, preschooler’s age, gender and zip code). This information is collected when parents register their preschooler for the site to participate in certain online activities (e.g. creating digital works). Registered users may set up cubby pages (i.e. personalized portfolio pages) to save and view digital works, which they make on /noggin20072009/, and to do so we do not require the visitor to submit unnecessary personal information, all we require from users is their username and password. From time to time /noggin20072009/ may request limited personal information (e.g. an e-mail address), as explained below, in order to let users send electronic materials to family and friends, conduct online contests or sweepstakes or receive the /noggin20072009/ newsletter. . /noggin20072009/ does not condition a user's participation in an activity on the parent's disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

Use of Information
/noggin20072009/ uses or may use personal information for contacting parents or guardians of preschoolers in connection with its website activities, such as conducting contests or sweepstakes and seeking permission from parents or guardians of preschooler's to display and use on-air and in other media the digital works made by the preschoolers and their parents or guardians on /noggin20072009/. /noggin20072009/ currently does not disclose to third parties personally identifiable information that users provide except, from time to time however, we may transfer, disclose or share such information with third parties who may be engaged by us specifically to handle and deliver certain online activities (e.g. conducting contests and sweepstakes). Such third parties have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Additionally, in the event that all or substantially all of Noggin's stock and/or assets are transferred or sold to another entity, Noggin may transfer such information and information collected from parents or guardians to the acquiring entity. Finally, we may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties when required by law or is pertinent to judicial or government investigations or proceedings, or otherwise necessary to protect our website or the safety of its users.

We do not link the log data collected to the personal information that parents of preschoolers submit online when participating in our activities.

Security & Parental Access
At Noggin, our goal is to help parents ensure that their preschoolers have a safe and fun online experience. That's why we've set up a system by which parents can print out and mail or fax us a signed form that allows them to review any personal information collected about their preschooler and ask us to correct any factual inaccuracies, delete this information, and/or request that we refrain from further collection or use of their preschooler's information.
