Online Safety
Greening Spring Branch | Department of Volunteers
Updated and Revised December 2025
Our commitment to safety extends beyond our in‑person work. We also protect volunteers, families, and especially children in every digital space connected to Greening Spring Branch. Whether someone is exploring our educational materials, signing up for events, or contacting us through our website, we make sure their information stays secure.
We collect only the minimum information needed to improve the website experience—such as approximate location, device type, or form submissions—and we never sell or share personal data. Sensitive information is never collected unless a user directly enters it, and even then, it is used solely for educational and operational purposes.
To keep our online environment safe, we rely on multiple layers of trusted protection:
-
Wix’s built‑in security infrastructure, which includes encrypted data handling, secure hosting, and automated threat monitoring.
-
Google reCAPTCHA, which helps block bots, spam, and malicious activity by verifying that users are real people.
-
Additional Wix protection services, such as automated security scanning, firewall tools, and fraud‑prevention systems that help safeguard all visitors — especially minors — from harmful or inappropriate digital interactions.
These tools work quietly in the background to ensure that kids and families can engage with our content without risk. We also comply with major privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA, giving families the right to access, correct, or delete their information at any time.
Most importantly, we design our digital spaces with children’s safety at the center. That means:
-
We never request unnecessary personal information from minors.
-
We encourage parents and guardians to guide kids’ online interactions with our content.
-
We maintain a secure, educational, and age‑appropriate online environment.
Whether we’re working side‑by‑side in the community or connecting through our website, we protect the well‑being of every child who becomes part of our mission. Safety is not just a policy — it’s a promise.
