As regards your personal information -- e-mail addresses, and other info which you might enter in your personal profile at registration: we don't share it with anyone. Ever.

Our site is intended to be a safe place for our younger users. Because of this, "private" chat rooms in our chat area have been disabled; admission to our chat area is available only to registered discussion forum members, who are issued a username and password by the Forum administration team. All chat sessions are automatically logged (along with the IP addresses of participants) and sent to the forum administrator daily. Every discussion forum user must provide a valid and verifiable e-mail address on registration, or his/her membership will be declined. All message traffic in the forums is supervised by the forum administrator or a delegated moderator: any offensive language immediately triggers moderation filters in the forum software and alerts an administrator.

The safety and security of children using our website and forums is of paramount importance to us, and with this in mind, forum members who behave inappropriately will be permanently excluded. Anyone suspected of stalking or "grooming" one of our members will immediately be reported to the appropriate authorities.
