At Sass Factory we take child online safety very seriously and have taken measures to ensure we comply with official COPPA regulations.

However, we also know that your child is going to visit other Web sites that don't necessarily comply with official child safety standards. Here are some tips to help you keep her safe online.

Being able to use the internet has many advantages for kids, from giving them access to educational information, enabling them to connect with their friends and playing games. However, the problem is that the internet also contains bad information so your children are at risk of visiting some dangerous web sites that exploit their vulnerabilities. Here are some simple online safety tips for kids that will help your protect them when they are online.

• Teach your daughter to keep personal information to herself. Talk to her about never meeting anyone she may come into contact with online in person, not to post photos of herself on the Internet and to never reveal personal information such as her last name, passwords, her school or her home address to anyone she doesn’t know.

• Carefully select the websites your daughter visits. Block any websites that you do not want your daughter to visit. Make sure she knows which sites she is allowed to visit and make it easier for her to stick to those sites by bookmarking them in your Internet browser. 

• Keep your computer in an open area in your home. This way you can keep an eye on your child and her activities on the Internet.

• Use filters in your Internet browser or family safety software. These tools allow you to manage what sites your daughter can access, monitor how much time she can spend online as well as optimize keystroke recognition tools.

• Schedule Internet time and adhere to it. By controlling the times when your daughter can be on the Internet and the amount of time she can stay online, you are able to effectively reduce their chances of being exposed to inappropriate content.

Remember to always check the content and the privacy policy of the web sites that your daughter visits or wants to visit.
