A note to children and parents

We intend the Tomatosphere site to be for teacher use. The site is perfectly safe for children, but the technical aspects of the site are directed to teachers.

Children: before sending any information about yourself over the Internet to anyone, be sure to ask your parents for permission.

Parents: The Tomatosphere Project recommends that parents take an active role in children's use of the Internet. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet.

Summary

In summary, the Tomatosphere Project respects your privacy. When you choose to provide information about yourself or your school, you can trust us to act in a responsible manner. That's why we have put this policy in place to protect your personal information. The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act refers specifically to personal information. The Tomatosphere Project extends this to your school information as well. Your information is used only for the purpose for which it was provided. It will not be shared, sold, or loaned to any one or any business.
