3rd Party Person’s Information
Connect Our Kids provides the connectourkids.org website and it’s services specifically for the use case of our users of gathering and organizing publicly available information on 3rd party persons. In addition, this information may be used by our users, but not by Connect Our Kids, its employees, officers, or subcontractors, to contact and communicate with 3rd party persons. Under no circumstances will Connect Our Kids review or share this 3rd party person data with persons other than those expressly identified inside the website that have access to the information.

From time to time, Connect Our Kids may access 3rd party person information only for the purposes of providing services to the account owners. Connect Our Kids will never sell or transfer 3rd party persons information to any parties not directly permitted access inside the connectourkids.org site and it’s Services.

Case Information
In the regular course of business, you may enter “case information” about a person for which you are providing services. You, not Connect Our Kids, are in control of what information you do and do not submit. If sensitive information has been submitted in error to connectourkids.org or it’s Services, and you are not able to self-remove that sensitive information, you may contact [email protected] to have the information removed manually. The process of this removal may require Connect Our Kids personnel to temporarily access the information to remove it from our systems.

Connect Our Kids personnel will never share case information with any party, even the account owner, and even when we are expressly asked to do so. You agree that under no-circumstances will Connect Our Kids be considered a system of record for your case information, and under no circumstances can Connect Our Kids help you recover lost case information – except through the regular use of connectourkids.org and it’s Services. You agree that Connect Our Kids may collect and maintain anonymized information about the status and outcomes of each case you submit to connectourkids.org and it’s Services. Further, you agree that Connect Our Kids may report anonymized aggregate case status and outcome information for the purposes of advertising our services, and reporting information to our funders. Connect Our Kids shall make every effort to dissociate all reported anonymous and aggregate case information – except when you expressly request that we support you with non-anonymous or non-aggregate information.
