Our Commitment to Data Security:
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Your privacy is important to us. Childhelp does not rent, sell or exchange our mailing lists nor any information submitted through this website.

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Childhelp website. For each visitor to our Web page, our Web server automatically recognizes only the consumer’s domain name, but not the e-mail address (where possible). For non-sponsoring visitors, we collect only the domain name but not the e-mail address of visitors to our Web page, aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, information volunteered by the consumer, such as personal sponsor information, survey information and/or site registrations and e-mail addresses of opt-in subscribers. The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page, to notify consumers about updates to our website, and is used by us to contact potential and current sponsors for Childhelp marketing purposes. This information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
On some pages, donors may make special contributions, make inquiries regarding your contributions, or register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages may include some or all of the following:

We use e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail that we receive. Childhelp does not rent, sell or exchange our mailing lists nor any information submitted through this website. We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above.
We also give visitors to our site the opportunity to make a donation to Childhelp in someone else’s name. We will ask you for the name of the person for whom you are making a donation and an address where a gift card will be sent. This information will be deleted after the acknowledgment for the donation has been sent.
