If you were not with your child when he or she registered, we encourage you to visit our site to see for yourself all that we have to offer, including our page regarding online safety available here: www.neopets.com/safetytips.phtml. The privacy of our players is very important to us. Please view our Privacy Policy to learn about what measures we have undertaken to protect your child's privacy: www.neopets.com/privacy.phtml.
Because some of the site features will enable your child to publicly post personal information, we encourage you to monitor and supervise your child's Internet activities during his or her exploration of our site. You may, for example, want to set rules for your child about whom he or she can talk to, what general discussion topics are allowed, and what personal information, if any, is okay to share. Please remind your child not to publicly post personal information such as name, telephone number or e-mail on any website. We may monitor messages and posts through our filtering system by our human monitors twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but your continued involvement is important.
