Donating to Safer Child, Inc.

About Us:

Safer Child, Inc. is registered in the State of Washington as a non-profit corporation and is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with federal tax-exempt status. All donations to Safer Child, Inc. are tax-deductible as provided by law.

Safer Child is dedicated to the health and safety of children and was founded by concerned parents who know how hard it can be to track down critical, up-to-date and objective information. This Web site is structured around getting you the information you need to make the best decisions. We aren’t experts, psychologists, doctors, sociologists, lawyers or politicians, so if you need professional advice, you should contact someone with appropriate credentials.

We are natural-born advocates, so if we see what we think is a "crooked picture," we do our best to encourage powers-that-be to "straighten the picture." Because we know not everyone will share our views - or even be interested in hearing them - we keep them tucked away in a tiny section at the end of "Advocacy/Opinion." If you're interested - you can view our efforts. But if you aren't interested - you can ignore our opinion and still get the objective information you're seeking.

And, as always, if you have any comment to make about our site – what’s on here, or what’s not - or if you know of some "crooked pictures" we haven't addressed, don’t be shy. Please give us some feedback. We want this site to work for you!

Privacy Statement:

Thank you for visiting Safer Child, Inc. We value you, and we hope our site is of help. We know privacy is important to you, and we want you to be comfortable exploring our site. That's why, unless you have agreed to it or unless we believe it's required by law, we do not share personally identifiable information collected at this site with third parties. Below is a summary of our privacy policy.

Safer Child, Inc. is committed to protecting your on-line privacy when visiting our site. We do not collect and keep any personal information from you unless you volunteer it and you are 16 or older. You don't need to register with us in order to browse our site. We do not collect and keep personal information from children under the age of 16 without parental consent.

CHILDREN UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE: Please be sure to read this policy with your parents and make sure you understand it. Please get a parent or guardian's permission before giving out your e-mail address or any other personal information to us -- or to anyone else on the Internet. You may browse our entire Web site without the need for registration or any personal contact. If you wish to ask us a question, we will respond to you and then delete your e-mail address from our files.

PARENTS: Parents, please help by spending time online with your children and monitoring their online activity. Instruct them to never provide personal information on this site or any other without your permission. You can ask to review the information your child has submitted to us, to delete your child's information and/or to not collect any more personal information from your child, by e-mailing us at lrogers@saferchild.org, or by writing to us at Safer Child, Inc., P.O. Box 48151, Spokane, WA, 99228-1151. Note: Due to the increasing numbers of computer viruses and worms that attach themselves to address books and send themselves automatically, the Safer Child Webmaster must now delete any messages that arrive without appropriate information in the subject line. Please help us help you by taking a moment to put appropriate information in the subject line of your message.

Any information you provide to us is kept secure. Only authorized Safer Child, Inc. representatives (who have agreed to keep the information secure) have access to stored information. We may use the personal information we collect for analysis or to contact you if we find the information you have requested. We will not at any time transfer or sell your personal information to commercial organizations. Only with your consent, and only if you are 16 or older, we may share your information with outside organizations that can provide you with your desired information or services. We might also disclose personal information if we believe that the disclosure is required by law. If at any time you wish to stop receiving information from Safer Child, Inc., simply let us know through our feedback page, or e-mail us at lrogers@saferchild.org.

We do not currently use cookies. A "cookie" is a small file that some sites save on your computer’s hard drive which contains non-personal information. Cookies help you to do the following: gain faster access to pages you've visited, personalize your pages and participate in activities on this site. Cookies also help sites figure out how many people visit and which pages they viewed. We might however collect IP addresses (the automatic number assigned to your computer when you surf the web.) This address allows us to count the "hits" on our sites. IP addresses and cookies are not connected to any personally identifiable or on-line contact information, such as your name or address, and you may delete cookies at any time from your computer without affecting the functioning of your computer.

Third party Web sites accessible through hyperlinks from this site have their own privacy practices, and Safer Child, Inc. has no responsibility or liability for these independent practices. Please review their privacy practices for yourself.

We reserve the right to change our policy to conform to changed legal requirements or if we figure out a better way to protect you. We'll let you know by posting the updated version here, and also by posting it on our New on the Site page. Unless we obtain your prior approval, any information collected prior to the change will not be used in a manner inconsistent with the policy in effect at the time of collection.
