DriveVermont is not directed to children under 13, and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. For more information about children's privacy generally, please see the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

We hope parents and teachers are involved in children's Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information online.

DriveVermont does not sell products or services for purchase by children. If you are under 18, we specifically ask children to get their parents' permission before providing any information on line - at our site or any other site - and hope parents will always be involved in those decisions. Most importantly, in the event children do provide information through the Vermont.gov Portal, it is only used to enable us to respond to the writer, and not to create profiles of children

Why do I need a username and password?

You need to log in if you would like to save your progress. Before you login for the first time, you will have to register by creating a username and a password and answering a secret question (which we need in case you forget your password).

What personal information is needed to create my username?

None. DriveVermont does not require you to provide personal information to create a username. You will, however, be asked to choose a word or phrase, which you will use to log in. (For more information on what to use for a username, please read "What's a good username to use?" below.) You will also have to pick a password and a secret question and answer (in case you forget your password). For more information on how DriveVermont deals with personal information on our site, please visit the Vermont Portal Online Privacy Policy.

What will DriveVermont do with my username and login information?

We only use your username and password to save and retrieve your progress. We do not collect any information from you that would allow us or other users to know who you are. We encourage you to create a username that does not include your real name, where you live, or any other information you do not want to share. For more information, please visit the Vermont Portal Online Privacy Policy.

What's a good username to use?

Your username should be a word or phrase that you can easily remember and that does not tell any personal information about you. You should not use your last name, your address or zip code, your phone number, the school you attend, or any information that would help someone identify you. Your favorite color or activity and a number, such as blue223 or sledding95, is a good place to start.
