KACO takes administrative, technical, and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information. However, you should know that submitting information via an online form, email, and/or text communication is not necessarily secure against interception.

All KACO employees and volunteers are aware of our privacy and security policies. Information submitted by you will be accessible to those persons who need it in order to perform their jobs.
You can also help protect the security of your own personal information. For example, never give out your real Name and Password; when surfing Online remember, before you leave, sign out of any account and close your browser window when you finish. This way, if other people use the same computer, they won't have access to your information. Ask your parent(s), or primary caregiver to help you read and understand Privacy Policies and Statements. And always ask and answer the 5 W's first. "Who, What, When, Where, and Why" someone needs any of your Personal Information. (See KACO "Privacy Tips").
