Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how JESUS LOVES ALL CHILDREN (“JLAC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of children, families, volunteers, donors, and partners who engage with us through our programs, events, website, and outreach. Located at 1531 Leslie Rd, Dundalk, MD 21222, and accessible at https://jlac.lat, we are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled with integrity, transparency, and care. By using our website or participating in our programs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, donation details, and other contact information. For families and children participating in programs, we may also collect information such as age, school grade, emergency contacts, health or dietary needs, and parental consent forms when appropriate. Volunteers and staff may provide professional background, skills, and availability information. Donors may provide payment details through secure systems. We also collect limited technical data such as IP addresses, browser type, and usage patterns to improve our website performance. We do not knowingly collect more information than is necessary to provide safe, effective, and supportive programs.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used to operate our programs, manage volunteer participation, process donations, communicate updates, respond to inquiries, and comply with legal requirements. We may use aggregated and anonymized data for reporting to funders, improving services, and understanding community needs. Personal information is never sold or rented to third parties. Communication may include newsletters, event invitations, or updates about our mission. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us.
Children’s Privacy
We are especially committed to safeguarding the privacy of children. We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Any information shared by children in programs or events is used only to support their participation and safety. Parents and guardians have the right to review, update, or request deletion of their child’s information at any time. We encourage families to monitor their children’s online activity and to contact us with any concerns regarding the handling of children’s data.
Donations and Financial Information
When you donate to JESUS LOVES ALL CHILDREN, your payment is processed through secure third-party providers. We do not store full credit card or bank account numbers on our systems. We take financial privacy seriously and use industry-standard security measures to safeguard donation details. Donors may choose to remain anonymous, and we respect all requests regarding public acknowledgment. Donation records are maintained only for accounting, tax, and compliance purposes and are not shared beyond necessary reporting.
Data Security
We use technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to sensitive data is restricted to staff and volunteers who need the information to perform their roles. We regularly review our security practices and update safeguards as needed. While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of data storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Sharing of Information
We may share limited personal information with trusted partners, such as schools, community organizations, or service providers, only when necessary to deliver programs or comply with legal obligations. All partners are required to respect privacy and use information solely for agreed purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law, such as in response to a court order or to protect the safety of children and families. We do not engage in commercial sharing of personal information.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, update, or request deletion of your personal information. Parents and guardians have full rights to manage their children’s data. You may opt out of receiving communications from us at any time. If you wish to exercise your rights or have questions about how your data is used, please contact us at info@jlac.lat. We will respond to all requests promptly and in accordance with applicable laws.
