Portcard.net, a partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, helps keep children safe as they communicate on the Internet. Portcard.net is a registry that authenticates the identity of the person behind a username on social networking services like AIM, MySpace, and Facebook. Portcard.net protects children against internet predators who try to take advantage of them by exploiting the total anonymity of the Internet.

From now through August 2008, Portcard.net will donate 10 percent of every registration fee it receives to Boys & Girls Clubs of America. In addition, Portcard.net will continue to participate in Boys & Girls Clubs Day for Kids across the U.S. in an effort to make Boys & Girls Clubs members and their parents aware of the continuing need to protect themselves online.

“We are delighted that Boys & Girls Clubs of America will be working with Portcard.net to provide direction and advice on how to address adult concerns about keeping kids safe in cyberspace,” said Portcard.net Founder Ricky Doyle.

Portcard.net stores authenticated personal information in case there is a need to identify a particular registered user to law enforcement. Portcard.net does not share personal information with any other entities.

Portcard.net is one of BGCA's many cyberspace partners – joining Clubs and corporate sponsors to keep kids safe on the Internet. For information about our other partners in online safety, please visit our Partners main page.
