Note to Parent/Guardian

Safe Sitter® adheres to the guidelines created by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA).  The Internet offers a world of opportunity for children. Your guidance and involvement are essential to help ensure that children have a safe and rewarding online experience. Your efforts to instill responsible information practices will help steer your children to age-appropriate sites, and will go a long way toward ensuring that your children have enriching online experiences.

Parent/Guardian Consent Form

Following the guidelines of COPPA, all children 12 years old and under must have parent/guardian consent before giving out any personal information, for example their email address.  This is to protect the privacy rights of children.

When www.safesitter.org has activities that do not ask your child any personal information, no parental/guardian consent is necessary.   

When www.safesitter.org requests personal information we will post a note to your child that parent/guardian consent must be given before the child can participate.  If parent/guardian consent is not granted, www.safesitter.org will reject your child’s entry.  To view the www.safesitter.org parent/guardian consent form click here.  To give your child permission to participate, print the form and fax it to 317-545-SAFE (7233), email your consent to safesitter@safesitter.org or mail it to:
