Protecting the privacy of children is especially important, and for this reason we have adopted certain policies and procedures to help do so.

The Information We Collect
As described in this Privacy Policy, we directly collect personally identifiable information from a child when a user submits a form through our website. This information may include the child’s name, age, email address, gender, address and country of residence. We may also request a user name and email address so that we may respond to an inquiry.NEA uses personally identifiable information to help provide the most appropriate and thorough answers to questions. For example, NEA may use an email address to seek more detailed information in order to answer a submitted question or to provide a private answer to a question. Typically, NEA will not condition the child’s participation in any activity on the website on the disclosure of any more information than is reasonably necessary to participate.Additionally, when visitors come to our site, we may passively collect certain non-personally identifiable computer information. This information may include the user’s: type of computer operating system (e.g., Windows 7 or Mac OS X Snow Leopard), the user’s IP Address, the user’s web browser (e.g., Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer), the frequency with which users visit various parts of our sites, and information regarding the user’s Internet service provider. We do this in order to make our sites more interesting and useful to you and for various purposes related to NEA. We may collect this non-personally identifiable information through the use of software technologies such as unique identifiers or “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that we place in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is sent, or you can choose to “turn off” the acceptance of cookies from any website.
