Welcome to the Night Zoo. We really hope you will become a Night Zookeeper and enjoy using the Night Zookeeper website. However, if you are under the age of 17 you are not allowed to register an account. Please ask your teacher, parent or guardian to do this.

Once this has been done they can create you will be given a Night Zookeeper username so that you can start using the website. You will need to make your own password. You should never share your password or use your real name on the website, or anyone else’s for that matter, only made-up names.

If you don’t wish for your writing or drawing to be made public, please speak to the adult that created your account and let them know. They can email us to ask us to remove anything you don’t wish to be shared publicly on the website.

Please be respectful and polite to all your fellow Night Zookeepers. Inside the Night Zoo everyone should feel welcome and safe. Everything you write or draw should be your own work and not copied from anywhere else or anyone else.

Thanks for reading!

Terms of Use

Contract between you and us

This is a contract between you and Night Zookeeper. You must read and agree to these terms before using our services. If you do not agree with these terms, you may not register or use our services. As a Night Zookeeper you will be expected to follow these terms and if this is not the case, we reserve the right to terminate your account and/or subscription.

Registration and Responsible Adult responsibilities

Child protection and data protection are of prime importance to us.

Children cannot register. As the Responsible Adult you act as gatekeeper for any child using the site under your registration, and you take responsibility for monitoring and moderating any user materials produced by the child, and for making best efforts to protect child data, identity and privacy. For children we have a "No Real Names" policy. This is supported by certain features built into the software, but it also requires diligence by the Responsible Adult.

When you create an account, you can create logins for the children portion of the website. These are required to allow you to differentiate between the work that each child under your registration produces.

As the Responsible Adult you may allow children under your control and supervision to use the services under your registration, providing that in doing so you accept and acknowledge that:

The children you allow to use the services are under your control and supervision and you have appropriate parental consent if you are not the children’s parents.

You may only allow children, not adults, to use the services under your registration. You will ensure that children choose a username that is not their real name and which does not make them identifiable.

You recognise the need to prevent unauthorised access to your account and will take all reasonable steps to prevent this.

You will monitor and moderate user materials produced by the children before allowing it to be shared or made public.

User Materials produced by the children under your registration is by default restricted to the child in question and you, but (subject to your approval) it may be shared with other children under your registration. You may also choose to make user materials publicly available (meaning outside of your registration), either on parts of the Night Zookeeper website that are publicly accessible or elsewhere. You do this via your online Dashboard when you ‘Publish’ work. In this case you take full responsibility and before taking such action you must ensure that there is nothing in the user materials or in the usernames that could be considered personal information in that it could allow any child to be identified, or that is inappropriate or copyright material.

Inappropriate Material

You may not submit User Materials that are inappropriate or allow inappropriate content to remain on our system. We have the right but not the obligation to monitor, screen, remove, modify and store User Materials, at any time and for any reason, without prior notice to you. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse or approve any User Materials. If we become aware of content that we consider inappropriate or that otherwise breaches these terms we reserve the right to delete the content and/or terminate your account or subscription.

Material that is "inappropriate" includes anything that:

is abusive, immoral, defamatory, discriminatory, disrespectful, bigoted, hateful or obscene;

might be offensive or cause distress to another Night Zookeeper

is illegal or promotes any illegal or unlawful activity;

infringes upon or violates any third party’s rights, including but not limited to copyright and intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, including unauthorized disclosure of a person’s name, e-mail address, physical address or phone number, and/or rights of publicity;

contains video, photographs, or images of another person without his or her permission (or in the case of a child, the Responsible Adult).

We do not monitor any websites which may make reference to us on their pages.

Passwords and Security

The security and confidentiality of your account is extremely important to us, and we have implemented technical and administrative measures designed to prevent unauthorised access.

You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your username and password, including choosing a password of adequate strength, changing it regularly and not disclosing it to anyone else. You are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control. You should not try to avoid, circumvent or bypass any of the security measures of the website. However, no website can be completely secure, and if you have any concern that your account or log-on details have been compromised you should contact us straight away.
