Hi again, today I am going to talk about advertisement safety and your personal information on the Internet.This time on Passport to the Internet I learned about web sites that have games but also have advertisement. These games are called advergames.
Did you know that children as young as six months an start to recognize mascots or logos? Probably not. If your child is around mascots at the store and then on television when they are older and are more exposed to websites are more likely to play on the websites and want to purchase the products at the store.
Hmm? about to fill out a survey.Think again! What will the companies do with your information.Privacy policy is the place to look.When you read through privacy policy skip through the stuff hat you don't need to read only look for the information that you need like what they will do with your personal information or if they sell your e-mail what will happen.
What can happen if someone bad gets hold of your personal information like where you live or your e-mail? Chances are you will be caught in a very dangerous situation.If you begin to get e-mails from people that you do not know
1.DO NOT RESPOND!
2.TELL YOUR PARENTS IMMEDIATELY!
3.DELETE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS!
Do not be afraid to delete your e-mail address if you do you can always make a new one so yo can e-mail your friends.The person trying to e-mail you will not be able to find you again.My last suggestion to help you be safe on the Internet is to NEVER open a spam e-mail.If you do you will be spammed more.One thing you can do is open a ''JUNK E-MAIL ADDRESS''. When you get spammed by that you can just ask your parents how to delete it.
I hope my advice will be help to you.
