If you submit your email address to the site in other ways, such as submitting a comment or question, we may contact you about receiving occasional advertising specials, or information about the website.

And we encourage parents to get involved with their children’s online usage and to be aware of activities in which they are participating.
Finally, parents should be aware that if a child voluntarily discloses his or her name, e-mail address, etc. on various forums, or chat areas, such disclosure may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. Accordingly, you should discourage your child from doing so.
