Casa Viva uses information for the following general purposes: to contact you about further ministry opportunities, to fulfill your requests for products and services, and to improve our ministry.

Casa Viva does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other individuals, corporations, or non-affiliated ministries.

These companies may use your personal information to help Casa Viva communicate with you about Casa Viva and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.

Casa Viva serves children who come from difficult backgrounds and tough situations. The nature of our ministry is helping these children out of their past and into a bright new future in Christ. Because of this, we want to protect the children from living under the shadow of their past as well as from predation and exploitation. We will do this by concealing the complete identity of the child from those who need not know it.

At the same time, we have the responsibility to honestly communicate with Casa Viva financers about the real work we are doing in the lives of these children. To this end, we will work under the guidlines set forth by the Viva Network Child Protection Policy summarized here:

-Casa Viva will not distort the histories of children to better appeal to supporters.

-Casa Viva will not reveal the exact location of these children.

-Casa Viva will use only first names when referring to children.

-Casa Viva will use only first names of the parents who are caring for these children.

-Casa Viva will, when necessary, use a pseudonym to protect the child's identity.

In agreement with the Viva Visual Images Policy, Casa Viva will protect the children we serve by publishing photos that are truthful, faithful, honorable, honoring to the creator of the image, of high techincal standard.

-Photos of children will respect the dignity and self worth of a child (children with shirts off, in their underwear, or otherwise improperly clothed will not be published).

-Photos of children will show the hope and future of the child, not desperation and despair.

-Photos of children will not mislead the viewer as to the actual situation of the child

-Photos will depict the reality of the child's situation and will not aim to distort it.
