All of this information is written and authorized by parents and guardians in accordance with our terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Verifiable Parental Consent: SITTER.LIVE uses every obtainable method to get verifiable consent from a parent or guardian before collecting any personal information from a child. This means making any reasonable effort (taking into consideration available technology) to ensure that before personal information is collected from a child, a parent of the child receives notice of the operator's personal information collection, use, and disclosure practices and authorizes any collection, use, and/or disclosure of the personal information.
Protection of Personal Information: SITTER.LIVE takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to help protect against unauthorized access to or use of personal information.
Limited Access: SITTER.LIVE restricts access to personal information to employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf. All individuals who have access to personal information are required to maintain its confidentiality and not to use it for any purpose other than providing services to SITTER.LIVE.
Disclosure of Personal Information: SITTER.LIVE does not sell, rent, or lease personal information to any third-party marketers. We may disclose personal information to our service providers who assist us in providing our services, such as payment processing, email distribution, and customer service.

Data Retention of Personal Information: SITTER.LIVE retains personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws and regulations. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): SITTER.LIVE intentions are to comply with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the collection and storage of personal information, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We take our responsibility to protect children's privacy very seriously, and we have implemented a number of safeguards to ensure that we meet all necessary legal requirements.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law in the United States that was enacted in 1998 to protect children's privacy online. The law applies to websites, mobile apps, and other online services that collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
In addition, companies must take reasonable steps to ensure that the information they collect from children is kept secure and confidential, and must delete the information once it is no longer needed. Companies must also provide parents with the ability to review and delete their child's information, and must obtain parental consent before making any material changes to their privacy policies.
Overall, COPPA is an important law that helps protect children's privacy online and ensures that companies are transparent about their data collection practices.
It's important to note that by using our app, parents are making a cognitive decision to allow SITTER.LIVE to collect their child's data in order to provide relevant products or services. We make this clear in our terms and conditions, which users must agree to before using our app. While we understand that parents may have concerns about the collection of their child's data, we believe that we have taken all necessary steps to protect that data and ensure that it is used only for the purposes for which it was intended.
If you feel there is a breah of the COPPA law please notify SITTER.LIVE immediately by Certified mail:

SITTER.LIVE may order these checks when you register with the Mobile App or Website and thereafter in connection with your continued use of our Service and/or interaction with our Website (such as by contacting or communicating with other Users, Sitters or members, posting or updating child info or Sitter use, etc.)

Please be advised that SITTER.LIVE is not a consumer reporting agency as defined in the FCRA which can be found at www.ftc.gov/, and any information collected or received by SITTER.LIVE or from its third party service providers have not been collected in whole or in part for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports, as defined in the FCRA as well as all other applicable consumer reporting laws. The information provided in the Internal Background Checks may not be reviewed or considered as a factor in (1) establishing an individual’s eligibility for personal credit or insurance or assessing risks associated with existing consumer credit obligations, (2) evaluating an individual for employment, promotion, reassignment or retention (including employment of household workers such as (baby) sitters, cleaning personnel, nannies, contractors, and other individuals), or (3) any other personal business transaction with another individual.
