​

With respect to children's information: while our primary website is designed to be used by donors, volunteers, parents, agencies, and other adults, some of our content, such as our Adventure Club, is designed for use by children. Whenever data about a child is collected for this content, we collect only the information necessary to participate and take steps to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations regarding children’s safety online, including COPPA.

​

General use of the publicly available children’s content involves no collection of personal data. Certain features, however, require an Adventure Club membership to be established by a parent or legal guardian to grant us permission to use their child’s information for these features.

​

When signing a child up for an Adventure Club membership online, the following information about the child is collected from the parent or guardian:

​

• First and last name

• Birthday and age

• Gender

• Address

​

This information is used for the purpose of sending individualized items via the mail, linking Adventure Club memberships with our records of children’s attendance of Youth Haven on-site camps, and providing an internal means by which we can manage Adventure Club memberships per the request of a parent. At any time, the parent or legal guardian of a child whose information we have on file has the right to request knowledge of, a change to, or deletion of the information we have regarding their child. Additionally, at any time, the parent or legal guardian of a child with permission to utilize online functionality involving the collection of data may revoke that permission by contacting us at the above email address.

​

Some functionalities of our online platform, including the Adventure Club mobile app, allow children with authorized Adventure Club memberships to send us content they created themselves. This content is directly uploaded to our secure servers and is then held for review by our staff. If no personally identifiable information is given, the content may then be made public by our staff. If personally identifiable information is given, the content will either be removed or edited, or a verifiable form of parental consent will be obtained prior to making it public. At any time, any or all publicly available content associated with a child my be removed by request of the parent or legal guardian of the child.

​

Some data is collected or stored locally on the device a child uses to access the Adventure Club mobile app. This includes, but is not limited to, authentication information, login history, and device permissions granted by the child for the purpose of participating in the above content.
