Storing and Protecting Your Personal Information

Youthful Faces may store personal information on computer systems operated by Youthful Faces or by trusted service providers acting on our behalf. We seek to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable law.

Youthful Faces implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Children’s Privacy

Youthful Faces is committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, safety, and well-being of children. Our organization works with children and vulnerable populations as part of our mission. Because of this, information relating to children requires particular care and protection. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our public website for purposes unrelated to legitimate Youthful Faces activities without appropriate authorization or consent where required by applicable law.

Youthful Faces may remove information or content relating to a child where we determine that it has been published or collected improperly or where removal is required by applicable law or safeguarding requirements.

Safeguarding and Protection of Beneficiary Information

Youthful Faces recognizes that the individuals and communities we serve may be particularly vulnerable to privacy, safety, exploitation, and other risks. Accordingly, Youthful Faces seeks to avoid unnecessary disclosure of information that could identify or expose a child, beneficiary, family, caregiver, or community member to harm. Information about beneficiaries may be collected, used, stored, or shared only for legitimate purposes such as:

  • Delivering services and assistance;
  • Program administration;
  • Safeguarding;
  • Monitoring and evaluation;
  • Reporting;
  • Donor and grant requirements;
  • Legal and regulatory compliance;
  • Communications and fundraising; or
  • Other legitimate organizational purposes.

Where photographs, stories, testimonials, or other identifying information about beneficiaries are used for communications or fundraising, Youthful Faces will seek appropriate permissions and follow applicable safeguarding and privacy requirements.
