Lilli's Light Non-Profit is committed to protecting the privacy, safety, and well-being of children and minors. Our website and services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13, as defined by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), nor are they intended to solicit personal information directly from minors.

Lilli's Light Non-Profit complies with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) and its implementing regulations. We do not knowingly collect, use, or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental or legal guardian consent. For purposes of this section, “personal information” has the meaning defined under COPPA, including but not limited to a child’s full name, email address, photographs, videos, audio recordings, precise location information, or any other information that permits the identification or contacting of a child. We do not knowingly permit:

Registration or account creation by children under 13;
Submission of personal stories, memorials, photographs, or identifying information by children under 13;
Direct communications from children under 13 containing personal information.

If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without such consent, we will take reasonable steps to promptly delete that information from our records.

A. Story Submissions Involving Minors

Stories, memorials, or tributes that reference or involve minors may be submitted only by a parent, legal guardian, or an individual with legal authority to do so.

By submitting content that includes information about a minor, you represent and warrant that:

You are the minor’s parent or legal guardian, or otherwise have the legal authority to share the information;
The submission is truthful, accurate, and shared in the best interest of the minor;
You consent to the collection, use, and public display of such information as described in this Privacy Policy.

The Organization reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to limit, anonymize, edit, or decline to publish content involving minors to protect their privacy and safety. The Organization may require additional verification of parental consent prior to publishing any content involving a child.

B. Public Disclosure Risks

You acknowledge that any content published publicly may be accessible worldwide and that once information involving a minor is publicly available, the Organization cannot fully control its use or dissemination by third parties.

For this reason, we strongly encourage submitters to carefully consider the amount and nature of identifying information shared about minors, including names, images, locations, or other personal details.

C. Enhanced Safeguards and Discretion

To further protect minors, Lilli's Light Non-Profit may:

Require additional confirmation of authority or consent prior to publication;
Remove or anonymize identifying details related to minors;
Decline publication where content poses potential risk to a minor’s privacy, dignity, or safety;
Remove content involving minors at any time if concerns arise, without prior notice.

D. Teen Submissions (Ages 13–17)

Where permitted by law, individuals between the ages of 13 and 17 may engage with general educational content on our website. However, they may not independently submit personal stories, memorials, or personal information without the consent and involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

E. No Legal or Medical Advice

Content published on this website, including stories involving minors, is for awareness, remembrance, and educational purposes only and is not intended to provide legal, medical, or psychological advice.

F. Parental Rights and Contact

In accordance with COPPA, parents or legal guardians have the right to:

Review personal information collected from their child;
Request deletion of such information;
Refuse or withdraw consent for further collection or use.

Parents or legal guardians who believe that personal information about a minor has been submitted or published without appropriate authorization may contact us to request review, modification, or removal using the information below.

We will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable laws and make reasonable efforts to address concerns promptly.

G. Public Disclosure and Limitation of Liability

Parents and guardians acknowledge that any content approved for public posting may be accessible to the general public and may be shared by third parties outside of our control. While Lilli's Light non-Profit takes reasonable steps to safeguard children’s privacy, we cannot guarantee the prevention of unauthorized use or redistribution once content is made publicly available.

Accordingly, we strongly encourage parents and guardians to limit the amount of identifying information shared about children, including names, images, locations, and personal details.

12. International Data Transfers

If you are accessing our website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
