For parents concerning privacy:
On The HumorLab sites targeted to children, The HumorLab clearly states and requires that children must consult with their parents before furnishing data. However, The HumorLab believes that parents have a responsibility to supervise their children's online activities and should consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that may help to provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools may also prevent children from disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission. Personal information about or obtained from a child will not be used for commercial or trade purposes without the prior written consent of a parent or legal guardian of the child
