Safety and Privacy for Youth
The No War Zone site is a great place for you to learn, share
and discuss issues with other young people. But the Internet
is not always a safe place—so here are some tips for
you to read that will help you protect your personal information.
1) Don’t give out any personal information without asking
your parents, teacher or another adult. Personal information
that you should not give out includes: your full name, address,
phone number, e-mail address, age, names of family members,
and the name of your teacher or friends .
2) If you come across anything on the site that makes you
uncomfortable or if you get a message that is rude, mean or
asks for personal information, make sure you discuss it with
an adult. Please also notify War Child Canada by e-mailing
info@nowarzone.org
3) War Child Canada pre-screens some but not all of the content
submitted by users to the website. If content is not appropriate,
we may refuse or remove it.
4) Never agree to meet with anyone you met “online”
without first consulting with War Child Canada.
5) Never send a picture of yourself over the Internet without
checking with your parents, teacher or another adult.
6) When you participate in a chat or post discussion messages,
never give away your personal information.
7) Never share your password with anyone. Your password
is the key to your personal information and you will
be responsible for anything posted using your username

to your password please notify War Child Canada immediately
by e-mailing info@nowarzone.org
