What information do we collect?

Information you provide

When you visit the public area of the website, you remain anonymous. To the extent you use e-mail links via the website to communicate with us and provide us with personally identifiable information, however, you will not remain anonymous. Because it is not possible to anticipate every conceivable context in which such information might be provided to us via e-mail, we can provide you no assurance that personally identifiable information you choose to provide to us via e-mail will be private. We do not make any information you provide public, but if you send us content that constitutes child abuse, we will report it to the appropriate authorities.

Kids Matter Inc. is not a child abuse reporting agency. The site includes information on how to report child abuse to your local reporting agency.

When you apply online to become a CASA volunteer, your information is securely managed by Optima and Evinto Solutions.

The information is used, for example, to evaluate what portions of the website are more popular than others, to determine from where visitors came to the site, and to determine how many times particular pages of the site were accessed in aggregate.

When you sign up to receive Kids Matter Inc. communications including but not limited to email newsletters, request a speaker, share your story or contact us, you voluntarily provide us with personal information (such as name and email address).
