This technical information is separate from the personal information you voluntarily provide through appointment and contact forms.
Parental Permission
Some of the information available on the sites concerns the topic of sex and may not be appropriate for children. Further, the sites are not directed to children under the age of 13 and we will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. We strongly recommend that parents participate in their children's exploration of the internet and any online services and use their browser's parental controls to limit the areas of the internet to which their children have access.
Security (The center needs to ensure that information is SSL encrypted or customize this accordingly.)
These sites take commercially acceptable precautions to protect users’ information from theft, loss, or modification. When users submit sensitive information via the sites, we make great effort to ensure their information is protected online and offline (although no form of electronic transmission is 100% secure).
When any registration/donor/appointment/chat form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is SSL encrypted. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also aggressively protect user information offline. Only ministry employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment. If there is a data breach, we commit to compliance with applicable law.

To protect your privacy, do not provide any information you think may identify you or others.
