Links to Other Sites
Visitors will find links from GlobalEd’s website to independently owned, controlled and/or managed World Wide Web or Internet sites whose content we have found of possible interest to our visitors. In many cases, but not always, the links represent cooperative projects or mutual links established with the organisations connected with these sites. While we initially visit these sites to which we directly link, please note that we do not monitor or control the content that appears on these sites and such content may be constantly changing. We recommend that children check with their parents before clicking off to any new sites, and we encourage all end users of GlobalEd’s website to read the privacy policies of all linked sites before navigating through them.

Teachers
GlobalEd respects the privacy of the 'school community', including teachers, administrators and students. Our Privacy Policy and procedures are designed to ensure that all personal information associated with the school community is protected.

When teachers register for online services on our website they are issued with their own username and password which is established during the registration process and can be specific to the service required. You should take care to keep this password confidential. From time to time authorised GlobalEd staff may need access to your account using a master password to resolve any issues.

Parents
GlobalEd is committed to the safety and privacy of children who visit and participate on our website.

For those activities that require personally identifiable information, such as contests GlobalEd will not condition a child's participation in an activity on that child disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to administer the activity.

In posting competition winners' names on the site it is GlobalEd’s policy to indicate no more than a child's first name, and gather permission to do so. GlobalEd encourages parents and guardians to watch over their children's online use. Please educate your children to always ask for your permission before they provide personal information.

Kids
Remember to be smart and safe online. Always ask your parent or guardian for permission before you give out any personal information. This could include your name, email address, home address, telephone number, where you go to school or any other information about yourself that would enable someone to contact you either online or offline.

From time to time we may run online competitions for you to enter. Again remember to always ask your parent or guardian for permission before entering a competition on the GlobalEd website.

It is also important to look after your computer at home. Before you download anything to your computer make sure that your parent or guardian is happy for you to do so.
