I have designed this web site with the idea that children and their parents would be able to enjoy the benefits of the Internet, while still respecting your privacy. To make this possible, I intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information.

For the most part, you can explore this site without telling me who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when I may need information from you, such as your first name and E-mail address. I will let you know before I collect personal information from you on the Internet and will let you know the purpose for which that information is collected.

If you do decide to submit personal information to me over the Internet — for me to reply to you, or to enter a contest— I promise that you will know exactly how I intend to use such information. I will never publish your full name on this web site. I will not even publish your first name without your permission. I will never publish your E-mail address on this web site. I will never distribute this personal information to others.

Any and all personal information collected at this site (www.drmcg.net/mrmcgough) will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, leased, loaned, traded, or otherwise disclosed to a third party. Any information you give on this site will be kept with the utmost care, and will not be used in ways to which you have not consented.

This site was designed for children under age 13. Collected information will be used solely to directly respond to the child's request and not to contact the child for other purposes. E-mail addresses are only used for responses and are never sold, reused, rented, leased, loaned, traded, or otherwise disclosed to a third party, regardless of age. I keep no other permanent record of children's names and E-mail addresses.

I will use all reasonable abilities to protect all personal information against loss, unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse.

If you have any concerns about the privacy practices, please contact me via E-mail.
