This privacy policy describes how we handle your personal information. We collect, use, and share personal information to help the Teaching Our Kids (“TOK”) website work and to keep it safe (details below).
Information posted on TeachingOurKids.com is obviously publicly available. Our servers are located in the US. We collect and store the following personal information:
email address, the name provided by you;
computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from TeachingOurKids.com and ad data (all through cookies – you can take steps to disable the cookies on your browser although this is likely to affect your ability to use the site);
other information, including users IP address and standard web log information.
We use users’ personal information to:
provide our services;
resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
enforce our policies;
customize, measure, and improve user experience and our services, content, and advertising;
communicate marketing and promotional offers;
do other things for users as described when we collect the information.
We don’t sell or rent users’ personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without users explicit consent. We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that a posting or other content violates other’s rights, or protect anyone’s rights, property, or safety. We may also share personal information with:
corporate affiliates who help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and provide joint services. (Our corporate affiliates will market only to users who ask them to).
service providers who help with our business operations.
You agree to receive marketing communications from us unless you tell us that you prefer not to receive such communications. If you don’t wish to receive marketing communications from us, simply indicate your preference by following directions provided with the communication. You may not use our site or communication tools to harvest addresses, send spam or otherwise breach our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.
You can view, modify, or delete most of your personal information by reviewing and modifying your posting or account settings, by signing on to TOK or by contacting us. We retain personal information as permitted by law to resolve disputes, enforce our policies; and prevent bad guys from coming back.
We use tools to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure, but as you probably know, nothing’s perfect, so we make no guarantees.

TOK does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18. Nor do we collect information from any individual under the age of 18 without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe that your child has registered on our site or that we have collected information from your child, please contact us immediately so that we can remove that information from our database.
TOK does recognize that parents, guardians, or other adults may purchase our services for family use, including use by minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of the purchaser of our services, and will be treated as such by this privacy policy.
We may update this policy at any time, with updates taking effect when you next use the site or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. If we or our corporate affiliates are involved in a merger or acquisition, we may share personal information with another company, but this policy will continue to apply. If you have any questions about this policy, please send them via our contact form.
