Additional Web Site Privacy Policy

Registrations for chat and the forums are confidential. Your email will never be shared. No email will ever be sent from this site unless you email or notify us first, so if you are on a shared computer you don't have to worry about receiving unsolicited email. Your privacy is respected here as it should be.

The chat room produces daily transcripts which are read in a daily basis. Private messages can be seen by management. So plan your conversations accordingly. This is to protect our teens from sexual predators. Only GeorgiaAnn and myself get to read these transcripts. Contents are confidential.

Private conversations are private especially between Moderators and users unless they violate other policies as in the case of Private message abuse. Transcripts in chat are only read by Stu and Laura. This includes Private Conversations. However, even we will keep your confidence.

Our chat room is also an online suicide hotline. Supervisors are there to back up the moderators in the event of a suicide crisis. They often ghost in the background and are invisible to the user. They cannot read your private messages. They appear when needed.

Forum Policy

Your privacy is important and sacred to us. In the Forums you have the option of leaving your e-mail address Public or Private. We suggest you keep it Private. *THIS IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION*. Since there is Private forum messaging available it is suggested that if you wish to share it that you use this method to pass it along. Your e-mail though is needed to be verified in the registration process. It is also suggested that you immediately change your password after verification and registration. If you choose to keep your e-mail private it will never be shared or sold to anyone. Private messages are strictly confidential between the two parties. Ip Addresses are also considered private and confidential and will not be shared. Remember these boards are public and thus can be seen by anyone. So if you choose to keep your e-mail address public it can be seen by all guests as well as by members
