Most of the data and information we collect through our website is used only to help us achieve our mission to advance the quality care and education of children in their crucial early years. It is our policy to collect and store only personal information that our clients knowingly provide.
From Casual Web Site Visitors and General Users:
We do not collect any personal information from users browsing our website. When you use the public areas of our website you are doing so anonymously.

We use aggregate data for internal and marketing purposes, but we don’t collect any personally identifying information.
From Child Care Providers:
We collect basic business and vacancy information from providers through our online update form. This online update information will be used by Think Small for child care referral purposes only. The information will not be forwarded to any other child care referral service.
Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, if you allow, that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.
