Privacy

Information you share

General contact and volunteering enquiries submitted through this website are stored in a private Firebase Firestore collection so authorized administrators can respond. Do not include children's names, case histories, health information, or other sensitive details. The home should define and follow an approved retention and deletion process for enquiries. Telephone and WhatsApp remain available if the online form cannot be submitted.

Website services

This website does not use advertising trackers or analytics. When Firebase is configured, Firebase Authentication manages administrator sign-in and session state, Firestore stores approved website content and private enquiries, and Cloud Storage stores administrator-uploaded public assets. Firebase and the website host may process technical information needed to provide these services. Review the home's approved privacy and retention practices before enabling these features.

Children's information

Do not publish a child's name, image, location, personal story, or other identifying information without the necessary authorization and safeguarding review. See the child safeguarding and photography guidance.
