Kid's Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting one of the National Institute on Drug Abuse Web sites. We hope you have done so with the help of a parent or teacher because that is one of the best ways to explore the Internet and make sure that the sites you visit are educational and fun.

We do not collect any information about you but we do collect some information from your computer. When you visit our Web pages, to read or to take information for your computer, this is what we want to know from your computer:

  • How did you find us? It may have been through your school or something like America Online (AOL).


  • When did you visit our Web site? Our computer calendar and clock will tell us the day and time of your visit.


  • Which of our pages did you visit and which did you like the most?


  • What type and version of software you are using to view our site? Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or something else?


  • If you came to us from a Web page at a different Web site, which one was it?


We are very interested in what you have to say. If you write to us, we use your e-mail address from your message to respond to you. It is up to you whether you tell us who you are and where you live but make sure it is okay with a parent or guardian first—and any other time you provide information on line. If you are not sure it is okay with them, you can always come back and visit the site again later, when you have their permission.

While we cannot respond to your message without your e-mail address, you can still write to us and visit the rest of this Web site without providing any information about yourself.

Computers and the Police! Don't forget we promise not to tell anyone anything that you or your computer tell us. The only time we cannot keep this promise is if someone breaks the law and tries to mess up our Web pages. Then, the police will need information from us to capture the person who is doing this.

Remember! Although, we do not keep information on you, some computers might. They have to tell you first if they are going to keep information about you and they should tell you why and for how long they keep the information. Make sure your parents know about these computers before you give any information about yourself!

Note to Parents: Please see our official Privacy Policy Notice for the information we collect and maintain.
