SRQ may use such information to fulfil prizes or for editorial and feedback purposes (to the extent that is explained when guests provide the information).
In particular, information submitted by guests in the "Your Say" section of Kids Playground (feedback, jokes, poems, stories) is checked by SRQ before being entered onto the site for viewing by other guests. At the point where guests submit this information, they are notified that the information may be available on the site for viewing. If SRQ posts such information on the website, the submitter's first name, age and suburb of residence will be posted on the website. SRQ does not guarantee to post all submissions on the Kids Playground website.
