Welcome to FloridaChild, a wholly owned subsidiary of MyAmericanChild, LLC. MyAmericanChild.com (“we”, MyAmericanChild”) understands that you are concerned how information is handled, and we value your trust that we will handle our operations carefully. To visit MyAmericanChild.com, you must accept the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

The information we learn from visitors helps us personalize and continually improve our educational services at MyAmericanChild. Here are the types of information we gather.

• Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future educational services for you, and communicating with you.
• Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Internet browser accesses MyAmericanChild.com. Please understand that we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at MyAmericanChild.com if we cannot recognize you.
• E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from MyFloridaChild.com if your computer supports such capabilities.

What About Cookies?

• Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Internet browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as automatic sign-in to your personalized educational roadmaps.

Cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of MyAmericanChild.com's features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does MyAmericanChild Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our clients is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described.

• Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing individual reports, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from client lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing client service. These agents may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they may not use it for other purposes.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or subsidiaries. In such transactions, client information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the agreements made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the client consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that MyAmericanChild, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, client information will be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of MyAmericanChild and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of MyAmericanChild, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with government officials and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. However, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
• With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

• We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer software, which encrypts information you input.
• We do not collect any credit card information from our customers. Payments to MyAmericanChild are handled by PayPal.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your User ID and Password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. Click here for more information on how to sign off.

Which Information Can I Access?

MyAmericanChild.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with MyAmericanChild.com for the limited purpose of viewing, printing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

• As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to take advantage of the features that MyAmericanChild has to offer.
• You can add or update certain information on the MyAccount page of our website. When you update information, we usually do not keep a copy of the prior version.
• The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to sign in automatically with MyAmericanChild.
• There are products that offer anonymous browsing. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on its own website.

Children

MyAmericanChild does not sell its services to children. If you are under 18, you may use MyAmericanChild.com only as an approved assistant of a parent or guardian who is overseeing your use.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

If you choose to visit MyAmericanChild, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Florida. If you have any concern about privacy at MyAmericanChild, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use may change also. Please check our website to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
