Update in Advertising/Linking
Policy

Dear
Parents and Teachers,
As a mother and former teacher of the
deaf, my company is, and has always been, fiercely protective of children's safety on the web. We recently have found
it necessary to place ads on the pages where our games are displayed and are in the process of doing that. I
want to personally assure you that we endeavor to add links that we have previously approved. Many of the ads we have placed
are linked back to products on our own website. The other links found on our pages are from the following sources:
a. sites we have personally approved,
b.
google ads which have a family-centered policy,
c. affiliates whose sites we have approved,
d. Amazon's list of products appropriate for all ages
e. friends' and family websites and products we know are safe
However, since it is impossible to
check all links to links, we encourgage you to continue monitoring your child's or students' use of our site as any
other site on the web.
We have considered offering our games without ads or outside links. To do that, however, we would
have to set up the game portion of our website on a subscription basis. Since we have many visitors, we could offer
a low subscription fee of perhaps $4.99 a year for individuals and $19.99 for a school district. Please give us your
response to this idea in the survey above. If you leave your name on our email list, we can send you updates as to the results
of this survey.
Note: Some of the games use our own software and some activities have been created using the "Hot
Potatoes"/"Half-Baked" software tools from the University of Victoria. There are a variety of levels
and types of activities so we hope you find some perfect for your child or students. We're especially excited by our newest
"Sentence Scramble" activities for younger students and would love to get your feedback on that activity as
well as all of our activities.
Please email us at comments@windmillworks.com with any comments, suggestions,
or questions.
