Internet Safety

As many of us are parents ourselves at EducationCity.com, it is of paramount importance that our members are safe online.
The Internet offers a world of opportunity for kids and the EducationCity.com Team takes pride in providing a safe online environment for kids and their families.

The world of Stig and Sten in EducationCity.com is a safe, online environment for kids, which is fun and exciting to play, and is 100% trusted in terms of safety.

There are several ways we keep your children safe while playing on EducationCity.com:

1. First and foremost, we strive to comply to COPPA, the U.S. law that governs the online use and collection of information from kids under 13.

2. EducationCity.com is a strictly no advertising zone. While we may contact you with specially selected offers which we think will be of interest to you by email, your child will never see advertisements of any kind onscreen.

3. We steadfastly ensure that all material within our games is appropriate for the ages accessing them.

4. All posts to our blogs are filtered for inappropriate language, and moderated before they are published to ensure they do not include any unsuitable or personal information. Members who do not behave appropriately can be removed from the blogs and banned altogether.

5. Players within our interactive, real-time, mental math game, Play Live Dash, play against one another, but as their buddies, not as themselves. Furthermore, no communications between players is possible within the game.

6. We encrypt all passwords so that they are 100% secure and only you have your passwords in their usable form. (If you need a password reminder at any time, you’ll be sent a link and asked to reset your password on your next visit.)

7. All of our pages open as full screens, so it's more difficult for kids to navigate away from our safe environment onto the ‘open’ Internet.

8. We have certain areas of the site, which are password-protected to ensure they are tamper-proof.

9. We store all of our data and contact information on secure servers which use encryption technology and firewalls to protect the information from being accessed by anyone else.

For full details of the measures we have in place to safeguard your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

While we do our utmost to keep everyone playing on EducationCity..com safe, we can’t do it alone.  We therefore also recommend that parents make sure that their kids:-

• Choose a name and password for their buddy that is not their real name or anything similar to it.

• Keep their Buddy Password safe. As mentioned above, once chosen even our staff cannot access your passwords, and would never ask for it for verification or to help with a query. The only time we ask for your password is when you log into the site itself.
