Privacy Policy

King's Daughters Child Development Center ("King's Daughters", "KDCDC", "we") runs this website. This policy explains what information we collect on the website, how we use it and the choices you have. Questions? Call (615) 865-5164 or email lee@kdchild.org.

Information you give us

• Waitlist application. Parent or caregiver names, addresses, phone numbers, email address and employment status; each child's name, gender, date of birth, languages, any diagnosed special needs and sibling status; the date care is needed; annual household income; eligibility for SNAP, TANF or a Tennessee child care certificate; and who referred you. We use this only to manage our waitlist, contact you about openings, estimate fees and plan enrollment.
• Waitlist fee. The $25 fee is paid through Stripe. Your card or bank details go directly to Stripe and never reach our website. We receive only a payment reference and whether the payment succeeded. See Stripe's privacy policy.
• Messages. When you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, contact details and message.
• Questions chat. If you use the "Ask a question" chat, your messages are processed to answer you. Please do not type a child's personal details in the chat. Passwords, card numbers and similar sensitive values are hidden from the answering service automatically.
• Donations. Online gifts are made on Kindful, our donation provider, under its privacy policy. We receive your gift and contact details from Kindful.

Information collected automatically

• Visitor statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics and our own Umami analytics to count visits and popular pages. Neither uses cookies, and neither identifies you personally.
• Google Analytics. We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. It sets cookies and sends usage data (such as pages viewed and approximate location) to Google. See how Google uses this data. You can block it with your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
• Security and server logs. Our host and Cloudflare keep short technical logs (such as IP addresses and browser type) to keep the site secure and working.
• Videos. Videos are shown with YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). The video at the top of the home page plays from YouTube; other videos load only when you press play. YouTube's privacy policy applies to those videos.

How we protect your information

Waitlist applications are stored encrypted on our own web server and can be read only by authorized King's Daughters staff who sign in to our staff area. Email alerts to staff contain only a short summary, not the full application. The website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.

Sharing

We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the website, measure visits and take payments (such as our web host, Stripe, Cloudflare and Google), when the law requires it, or with your permission. Our staff may use your information to check eligibility for programs you tell us about, such as child care certificates.

How long we keep it

We keep waitlist applications while your child is on our waitlist or enrolled, and as long as we need them for our records, then we delete them. You can ask us to remove an application at any time.

Children's privacy

This website is for parents, caregivers, supporters and job seekers. Information about children is provided by their parents or caregivers. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by calling (615) 865-5164 or emailing lee@kdchild.org. If you received a newsletter or event email, use the unsubscribe link in that email.

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
