Depending on how you interact with us, this information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, transaction information, and information included in messages you send to us.

We may also receive certain technical information automatically when you visit SparrowKids.org. This may include information such as your browser or device type, IP address, pages visited, referring website, and similar information used to operate, secure, and understand the use of our website.

We may use information collected through SparrowKids.org to:

• respond to questions, messages, and requests;

• provide resources, products, or services you request;

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

Sparrow Kids creates Christian Bible-based content and resources specifically for children and families. Because children are an important part of our audience, we take children’s privacy seriously.

Children may watch and enjoy our publicly available videos, Bible stories, music, and other content. However, areas of SparrowKids.org that request personal information—including contact forms, email subscriptions, donations, purchases, subscriptions, and similar interactions—are intended for parents, legal guardians, teachers, church and ministry leaders, and other adults.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information through SparrowKids.org without the involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian.

We do not intend to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent when such consent is required by applicable law.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us using the information provided below. We will review the request and take appropriate steps regarding the information, including deletion when appropriate or required.

As Sparrow Kids develops additional resources, programs, or interactive features, we may establish additional parental-consent and privacy protections appropriate to those services.

SparrowKids.org may provide opportunities to make donations, purchase products, or subscribe to products or services.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors and other service providers. These providers may collect payment-card details and other financial information necessary to process a transaction.

The Sparrow Group may receive information related to your transaction, such as your name, contact information, billing or shipping information, donation or purchase amount, items purchased, and transaction status.

Payment processors handle financial information according to their own privacy and security practices. We do not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card information on our own website when that information is handled directly by a payment processor.

If you subscribe to Sparrow Kids emails or otherwise ask to hear from us, we may use your contact information to send communications such as:

• new Bible stories and resources;

• Sparrow Kids news and updates;

• opportunities for families, churches, and ministries to participate;

• information about products or programs;

• stories about the impact of Sparrow Kids;

• fundraising and giving opportunities; and

• other communications related to Sparrow Kids or The Sparrow Group.

You may unsubscribe from promotional or informational emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications.

We may still send transactional or administrative communications when necessary, such as purchase confirmations, shipping information, donation receipts, or responses to requests you have made.

SparrowKids.org is hosted through Squarespace. Squarespace and other services used by our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, and understand website traffic and usage.

We may also use analytics or other third-party services that collect information about how visitors interact with SparrowKids.org.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies may support analytics, embedded content, or other functionality.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with options to accept, reject, or manage certain non-essential cookies.

For more information about the cookies and similar technologies used on SparrowKids.org, please review our Cookie Policy.

We may use third-party companies and platforms to help operate Sparrow Kids and SparrowKids.org. These may include providers for:

• website hosting;

• website analytics;

• email communications;

• payment processing;

• donations;

• e-commerce and subscriptions;

• order fulfillment;

• video and media hosting;

• social media;

• forms and communications; and

• other services necessary to operate Sparrow Kids and The Sparrow Group.

These providers may process information on our behalf or receive information when you interact with their services.

We seek to use reputable service providers and to share information only as reasonably necessary for the services being provided. Third-party services may also be governed by their own privacy policies, terms, and security practices.

SparrowKids.org may include videos, social media content, or other material provided through third-party platforms. It may also contain links to websites or services operated by other organizations.

When you interact with embedded content or leave SparrowKids.org to visit another website or platform, that third party may collect information according to its own privacy practices.

We encourage parents and guardians to review the privacy practices of third-party websites and services that their children use.

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

We may share personal information when reasonably necessary:

• with service providers that help us operate our website and activities;

• to process donations, payments, purchases, or subscriptions;

• to fulfill and deliver products or resources;

• to send communications that you have requested;

• to protect the security, rights, property, or safety of Sparrow Kids, The Sparrow Group, our users, or others;

• to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or lawful government requests; or

• as part of an organizational restructuring or transfer involving applicable programs or assets, subject to appropriate protections.

Service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform the services for which they are engaged.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate organizational purposes.

This may include retaining information as necessary to:

• provide requested services;

• maintain donation and financial records;

• maintain transaction and order records;

• fulfill legal, accounting, or reporting requirements;

• resolve disputes;

• maintain appropriate organizational records; and

• protect the rights and interests of Sparrow Kids, The Sparrow Group, and others.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our practices and applicable law.

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to your information, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we maintain about you.

You may contact us regarding personal information that you have provided to Sparrow Kids or The Sparrow Group.

Parents and legal guardians may also contact us regarding personal information they believe has been collected from their child.

We may need to verify your identity, relationship to the information, or parental or legal authority before fulfilling certain requests.

You may also unsubscribe from promotional or informational email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in those messages.

Sparrow Kids serves and seeks to serve families, churches, and ministries around the world.

If you access SparrowKids.org from outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to, processed, or stored in the United States or in other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws of your country.

Where applicable law requires additional protections for the processing or international transfer of personal information, we will take appropriate measures consistent with those requirements.

Sparrow Kids and its services will continue to develop, and we may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, programs, services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we update this policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

When appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes through SparrowKids.org or other reasonable means.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, would like to make a privacy-related request, or believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us:
