We may have special programs at our site where we permit children to submit e-mails to us without having to be subscribers and without prior parental consent.

In those cases, we request identifying information from children, such as their e-mail address, country or state, age and name. When this information is provided, we maintain it for security purposes, and in the event that we need to reach the child. This information is not shared with third parties, unless we need to do so for the safety and well-being of the child (such as to law enforcement, if the child indicates that they are at risk).

If their communication is going to be posted or forwarded to others, we endeavor to delete all personally identifying information from the e-mail before posting or further transmission. Only the first name, state or country and the child's age is shared at the site along with their post.

As you know, we are a non-profit organization working directly with law enforcement. We put your child's safety and privacy first, and work to protect your children from marketing scams and predators.

Each student participating in an internship or community service program, through the Police Liaison Group, must obtain a parent’s offline consent or other verifiable consent before joining, and must also provide a letter of good standing from their school.

We don't collect personally identifiable information from our site visitors, unless they submit it to use when they volunteer to become a participant with the Police Liaison Group, or send us an e-mail or tip. The information we collect from you, as a volunteer applicant, is voluntarily provided by you as a condition of application and consideration for your participation. This will not be shared with anyone outside of the Police Liaison Group, except as may be required by law or our security (except for our demographic information, such as how many female members visit our site, etc.). E-mails (once the matter or inquiry is completed) are stored for security purposes, and will be shared with the police, Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and other city, state and federal agencies, when appropriate, as may be required by law, to prevent or solve crimes, and to protect our security.

Except as required by law, to prevent or solve crimes or protect our security:

Certain information, such as the domain name of the Internet access provider used by visitors, when they access our site and the country of origin of such domain, which is anonymous as to individuals and aggregate only, is used for our internal purposes, in order to better develop our site to address our visitors' preferences. We do not use cookies at the site and do not permit banners or other data collection advertisements to be used at our site, in order to ensure your privacy.

To ensure that your online activities are not discovered by your abuser, you must use a computer that your abuser cannot access.
