Kidlink Association is a non-profit organization registered in 2009 in Göteborg, Sweden. Our services are free. Our goal is to help kids and youth learn about themselves, find friends in other countries and collaborate with them.

• We collect and share personal data to be able to give our users access to our site and to enhance a global moderated dialog through educational activities.
• We attempt to protect our young participants from any covert collection of personal information by outsiders.
• Our Listserv mailing list software distributes messages to members based on lists of participants' email addresses. These lists (and e-mail addresses) are only available to our administrators who use it to correct problems and complaints. They are never shared with users, or outside organizations. Users can sign off from our mailing lists anytime. As soon as they have signed off, their email address will disappear from our mailing list system.

Any information posted to our web or sent to our mailing lists becomes public information. Children are asked to exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information. We do not collect home addresses, telephone numbers, race data, family income, social security numbers, as such information is not needed to reach our goal.

There are no advertisements on Kidlink's web site. We do not employ technical surveyance tools like "cookies" or passive tracking software on our website. We never look at the specific usage of our website by identifiable individuals. (We do use such technology to help users do what they want. For example, cookies are used to remember a user's choice of language when in KidCom.) We will make every effort to make parents and other users aware of the presence of and reason for any future implementation of passive tracking features.

Kidlink policy on the use of kids work

When young artists or authors contribute creative works to Kidlink, the ownership will remain with the contributor. By submitting the work to Kidlink, the contributor is granting permission for Kidlink to use the work on its web site and in publicity materials.

This includes the right to:

• Present the work on our web site or in physical form in shows or publications of work by Kidlink contributors
• Allow news media (newspapers, magazines, radio, television) to use the work, or an excerpt of the work, to illustrate stories about Kidlink.

When Kidlink uses creative work by contributors, credit will be given by listing the contributor's first name /nickname, age, gender and country, with the work, as a mouseover or in other obvious ways, depending on the type of artwork.

Kidlink will not change the works without permission from the contributor except as follows: A visual work may be made larger or smaller for reasons of space. A text, sound, video or multimedia work may be converted to another file format, or further compressed, for reasons of server space. Kidlink may select excerpts of text, sound, video or multimedia works to be used for the purposes in (2) above.

The creative works presented by Kidlink may not be used in ways other than those listed above without permission from the contributor(s) who created them. Kidlink will assist people outside of Kidlink in communicating with the contributors and in negotiating a reasonable fee for the contributors.
