(“Networking for Life,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when you visit our website, use our services, participate in our programs or events, communicate with us, make a donation, or otherwise interact with us.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you.

3. Information Concerning Children and Young Adults
Networking for Life’s mission involves protecting children and young adults. We recognize that information concerning minors requires particular care.
Our website is primarily intended for parents, guardians, families, educators, professionals, community members, and other adults interested in child safety and human-trafficking prevention.
We do not knowingly use our website to solicit personal information directly from children for purposes unrelated to providing an appropriate service or safety resource.
If a child or young person provides personal information to us without appropriate parental or guardian involvement, a parent or legal guardian may contact us and request that the information be reviewed and, where legally required, deleted.
Because our mission may involve missing or exploited individuals, some information submitted to us may relate to minors. We use such information only for legitimate safety, awareness, educational, operational, legal, or organizational purposes and apply additional care when handling it.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us at:
netorkingfotlife@gmail.com
