Virtual world and online game Dizzywood announced today that it has earned the PRIVO Seal of Approval for providing one of the most safe and secure online environments for children.

The ‘tween-targeted edutainment community complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule’s (COPPA) high standards of regulations and has taken additional safety measures to implement the Privo's Privacy Assurance Program’s privacy requirements.

Privo is the first and only infomediary service to receive Federal Trade Commission recognition, and the posting of the Privo Privacy Assurance Program Seal signals to consumers, partners, advertisers, and the government that a particular site meets the COPPA guidelines.

"Safety has always come first and foremost in Dizzywood," said co-founder Sean Uberoi Kelly. "We have implemented a substantial number of technical safeguards for the web site. We have combined this with live real-time moderation by trained professionals to provide a safe and fun environment for kids."
