All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Written just for kids:
It’s important to protect your safety in real life and online. These sentences describe how we keep you safe:
We use a random number (not your name) in our data table. You can create a good user name that makes you even more safe. Here is a picture of the data we save when you share it with us.
If you or your parents ever want to see or delete the information we have for your account, just email us (edMe@myedMe.com).
We work with other companies to ensure that this data cannot be hacked. These other companies may access our site from time to time. They are not allowed to download your data, but it’s important you know who can see how the site works.
We are keeping your data safe in 3 ways:
- We do not ask you for important data (like where you live, who you are).
- We work with companies that make our site strong and secure.
- We give you the right to see your data at any time.
We work hard to make sure you stay safe. Try to only use companies that do the same. Your safety online is important. If you have any questions, email us edMe@myedme.com.
