Not giving out personal information online is an important subject and we encourage parents to take their children through these 4 points:

1. Your child should always ensure that they choose a username that doesn’t reveal their real identity. They should avoid suggestive usernames, even if they may seem innocent to you – think about how other players may view their username.
2. Your child’s passwords should not be shared with anyone but yourself. Someone else might use their password to access their account.
3. Your child should always keep in mind that they don’t really know a person who they have only spoken to online. Your child should never give out any of their personal information, such as their real name, age, location, phone number or school address.
4. Encourage your child to speak to you if someone says something that makes them feel uncomfortable or if they are asked for their personal information in an online environment.
