4. Children’s Privacy
Henrietta’s Kids serves elementary-aged children (grades K-5) through its program, but our website is directed to adults – parents, guardians, donors, and volunteers – and not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through our website. Any information relating to a child (such as grade level or school) is submitted to us by a parent or legal guardian through program registration, not by the child directly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information directly, please contact us at info@henriettaskids.org and we will promptly delete it.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Your data is only shared with trusted third-party service providers (such as Stripe) necessary to operate this website and process your funds.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to operate the program, communicate with contributors and program families, and comply with our legal and tax reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
7. Data Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable Illinois law and take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact.
8. Your Rights
You may contact us at any time at info@henriettaskids.org to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have provided to us.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our program or applicable law. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
