This Website is owned and operated by Kids Korps USA. Kids Korps USA has been a positive force in communities for many years. We value the trust of the parents and youth leaders involved in our organization, as well as communities in which we serve. Kids Korps USA recognizes the responsibility of that trust and is aware of the concerns that families have about the privacy and safety of their children online. Kids Korps USA is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors of all ages. The following Privacy Policy describes the how we protect our visitors’ privacy, the types of information that we collect through our website www.kidskorps.org, and how we use that information. If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us at info@kidskorps.org.DATA COLLECTION
Kids Korps USA may collect registration information (including contact name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone numbers of all individuals and organizations that join our organization online and offline), as well as survey information. This data is collected only when submitted by the individual to Kids Korps USA. In most cases, personally identifiable information is not maintained. It is used internally and not shared. Once it has been used for its intended purpose, it is deleted. Because of the brevity of this interval, no mechanism is provided to enable users to alter or delete information they have submitted. We do not collect information from children under the age of 13.

No personally identifiable information will be shared with third parties or used to market third party services or products. We reserve the right, however, to disclose such information to any third party if we believe that we are required to do so for any or all of the following reasons: (i) by law; (ii) to comply with legal processes or governmental requests; (iii) to prevent, investigate, detect or prosecute criminal offences or attacks on the technical integrity of the web site or our network; and/or (iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Kids Korps USA, the users of the website, or the public.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AND COPPA COMPLIANCE
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13. COPPA applies only to Web sites of a commercial nature. However, Kids Korps USA voluntarily complies with COPPA because our website is intended for use by children and Kids Korps USA feels that compliance is in the best interest of these children.

Kids Korps USA does not use its website to collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age without a parent or guardian supervising the child in giving the information. Any input form that requests personally identifiable information and that is expected to be viewed by children under 13 years of age is accompanied by a notice that parent supervision is required for users under 13 years of age.

Providing personal information is never a prerequisite for accessing any of the content or resources on this website. A child’s refusal to provide personal information via a Web interface will never result in the child’s being denied access to any on-line content or resource the child would be able to access were the information submitted.

Kids Korps USA welcomes children to learn more about our organization and, where appropriate, find opportunities to serve their communities through our programs and volunteer activities. However, we encourage this to be done only with their parent’s knowledge and supervision. Special notices urging children to get their parent’s permission before providing any personal information will be incorporated into our site.

USE OF “COOKIES”
Non-personal information and data may be collected by Kids Korps USA through the use of “cookies”. “Cookies” are small text files a Web site can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor’s ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. Kids Korps USA uses “cookie” technology only to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors in order to improve visitors’ online experience and facilitate their visit within our site.

We care about the safety and security of your transaction. We use encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with your browser software. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols. Contributions may also be made by calling 1-858-259-3602.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The same encryption and https security protocols used for financial transactions on our site are used in collecting personal information. In addition to maintaining privacy and security controls over information you share with us, Kids Korps USA works to accurately process your contribution information.
