KIDZBOP.com is a FREE and SAFE social network and video sharing site just for kids. We have created a site where kids are able to express themselves as themselves without revealing Personally Identifiable Information.

Yes. KIDZBOP.com is a very safe environment for your kids and here at KIDZBOP.com we make every effort to keep it that way. Here are a few of the things we do to ensure your child's safety:

Pre-Screened User-Generated Content

At KIDZBOP.com, we offer our Members the ability to express themselves safely by uploading user-generated content (videos and photos). Through our creativity tools, children are encouraged to express themselves by making their own Webshows or running their own video Super Contests. This is always done safely as this content is always pre-screened via our trained moderation staff, to ensure your child NEVER shares or displays any Personally Identifiable Information.

However, we ask that all parents discuss with their children the importance of NEVER posting anything on the web that they would be uncomfortable with the entire online community seeing. As mentioned above, we screen all uploaded content to make sure it follows our KIDZ BOP Rules of Play; however your family's guidelines may differ slightly from ours, and we ask that you make sure your child knows what is and is not okay in your home.

SafeText Messaging System

At KIDZBOP.com Members can safely express themselves (via our "SafeText Messaging System") by creating "Status" updates on their My Channel pages. They can also send and receive Friend Requests with other Members on our site. If your child and another Member become friends, we allow them to post text comments, via our "SafeText Messaging System," on each others' videos, photos and My Channel pages.

To ensure the safety of this communication, we have implemented state-of-the-art Crisp Thinking's Net Moderator system (http://www.crispthinking.com/solution-U13.htm), which contains automatic filters that prevent members from easily sharing any Personally Identifiable Information (including school names, city names and numbers of any kind - both alpha and numeric). The system filters the text and makes sure the words and/or phrases do not match a set of pre-determined words that are not allowed. Net Moderator also consists of a back end moderation system which alerts our moderators to possible infractions that we can then investigate.

While we are confident our SafeText Messaging System makes it difficult to easily publish Personally Identifiable Information, we understand that no system is perfect and our Members may find ways of circumventing our filters. To that point, we ask that all parents talk to their children about never giving any Personally Identifiable Information to another user and, if they do come in contact with another Member who has revealed Personally Identifiable Information, we ask that your child report this abuse by easily clicking on the "Report" button located next to the text.

KIDZ BOP Rules of Play

In order to maintain a safe community you need strict rules. At KIDZBOP.com we employ our KIDZ BOP Rules of Play. These rules were crafted to ensure that your child never shares any Personally Identifiable Information or includes anything that is inappropriate for children under 13 years of age. Upon registration at our site your child agreed to abide by these rules. In addition, every time they upload any video or photo content we make them agree to our Rules, reminding them of what is and is not okay to share on our website.

If we review your child's content and it DOES NOT follow the Rules we will:

• Flag the content and it will NOT appear on the site;
• E-mail the individual listed as the child's parent or guardian, letting them know why the content was flagged and;
• Send an Alert to the child's Channel, letting them know why their content was flagged and
• Automatically delete the content from our database within a reasonable amount of time.

If we review your child's content and it DOES follow the Rules we will:

• Publish the content to the site;
• E-mail the individual listed as the child's parent or guardian, letting them know the content is up and provide a link to the content;
• Send an Alert to the child's Channel, letting them know the content is up and
• Update the child's friends in their Friend Feed.

Please take the time to review our KIDZ BOP Rules of Play with your child. We believe if they follow them it will lead to a better experience for your child and the community.

We also require that members be logged in to send an e-card. This ensures that if a user abuses this tool in any way we will be able to contact their parent or guardian and/or cancel their account.
