what's new with their favorite computoy, play games, listen to music,
learn, laugh, and share their ideas! We believe in the power of
kids! It is our goal to provide an incredibly fun and interactive
learning center for our children, a place where they can feel appreciated
and you can feel safe! We urge you to use and enjoy our website
along with your kids. Although, we encourage the interactive nature
of the Internet, we understand that there are real and present dangers
to surfing the web. M3D strives to educate our users, both parents

surfing on the web! We urge our young users to ask permission before
disclosing personal information on our site and we urge parents

information online to people they don't know. Please read the information

What
information is collected and Why?
M3D
will always let kids know the reasons why we are collecting information
and what we are going to use it for. We do not collect personally
identifiable information through any means other than the voluntary
submission of information from the individual. Visitors may be asked
to supply information for contests or sweepstakes registration,
subscription registration for sites or services which require subscription
(such as e-mail newsletters, prize announcement), requests for membership
information to local public television stations, transactions within
the M3D shopping center, community postings (i.e. forums or bulletin
boards), comments and suggestions, or voting. M3D online uses the
information only for conducting the activities described above and
for internal marketing and promotional purposes. We will at no time
disclose any personal information about our audience to any third
party for any reason. The extent to which the information will be
used is always explained at the time the user is asked for the information.
If the visitor does not want this information collected and used
by us for the disclosed internal purposes, the visitor is given
an opportunity to "opt-out". Our visitors need recognize, however
that under certain circumstances, if they select to "opt-out" they
may not be eligible for certain activities due to the fact that
the information needed is not provided. (For example, if a contest
winner chooses not to submit personal information, we cannot make
contact in order to notify the winner or send a prize.)
