Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Effective Date]

Net Justice respects privacy and takes special care because our mission involves child safety, online exploitation prevention, victim-support referrals, and sensitive reporting topics. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we may share it, and the choices available to users.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the Net Justice website, donation pages, contact forms, email signup forms, resource downloads, volunteer forms, and other online services controlled by Net Justice.

Information We May Collect

• Contact information, such as name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and organization affiliation.
• Donation information, such as amount, transaction details, and donor preferences. Payment card details are processed by third-party payment processors and should not be stored by Net Justice directly.
• Volunteer information, such as qualifications, references, background-check information, training records, signed agreements, and availability.
• Report or resource-request information that a user voluntarily submits.
• Technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring site, date/time of visit, and security logs.
• Communications with Net Justice, including emails, form submissions, and support requests.

Sensitive Information

Because of the mission of Net Justice, some users may voluntarily submit sensitive information. Net Justice will seek to minimize collection of sensitive information and will use it only for lawful, safety-focused, mission-related purposes.

Users should not submit unnecessary personal details, graphic descriptions, illegal materials, explicit images, or information that could endanger a child, victim, witness, or investigation.

Children’s Privacy / COPPA

Net Justice does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Net Justice resources are intended primarily for adults, parents, guardians, educators, donors, volunteers, advocates, and community members.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website. If Net Justice learns that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 without required consent, Net Justice will take reasonable steps to delete the information, unless retention is necessary for safety, legal compliance, preservation, or reporting to appropriate authorities.

Parents or guardians who believe a child submitted information may contact Net Justice at [insert privacy email].

How We Use Information

• Respond to inquiries.
• Provide educational resources.
• Process donations.
• Send updates to subscribers who opted in.
• Manage volunteer screening, training, and compliance.
• Maintain safety and security.
• Improve website functionality.
• Comply with legal obligations.
• Refer users to appropriate reporting resources.
• Report credible threats, suspected child exploitation, illegal content, or safety concerns to appropriate authorities, platforms, hotlines, or service providers when appropriate or required.

Data Minimization

Net Justice will seek to collect only the information reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is collected. Users should avoid submitting unnecessary personal information.

Law Enforcement and Safety-Related Sharing

Net Justice may share information with law enforcement, NCMEC, child protective services, prosecutors, courts, platforms, service providers, victim-support organizations, or other appropriate entities when Net Justice believes sharing is necessary or appropriate to:

• Report suspected child exploitation, abuse, trafficking, grooming, sextortion, threats, or illegal content.
• Protect a child, victim, user, volunteer, staff member, or the public.
• Preserve safety-related information.
• Comply with law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or government request.
• Prevent misuse of Net Justice systems or materials.
• Address fraud, security incidents, harassment, threats, or unlawful activity.

Net Justice does not guarantee that any report will result in investigation, arrest, prosecution, conviction, content removal, or any specific outcome.

Service Providers

Net Justice may use service providers for website hosting, email systems, analytics, security, donation processing, customer relationship management, background checks, legal compliance, and similar functions. Service providers may process information only for authorized purposes.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies, analytics tools, security logs, or similar technologies to operate the site, measure usage, prevent abuse, improve performance, and protect security. Where required, users may be offered choices about non-essential cookies.

Donor Privacy

Net Justice will not sell donor information. Donor names may be recognized publicly only with donor permission or as legally required. Donation records may be retained for tax, accounting, audit, compliance, and charitable-registration purposes.

California Privacy Notice

These rights may include the right to know/access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
