We do not publish the names, images, case details, or identifying information of children in our care on this website without the legally required consent.

Photographs used on this site are used with appropriate permission, and are not accompanied by identifying case information.

If you are a resource parent, please do not send case-specific details about a child through the website contact form. Contact your assigned social worker directly.

We use application materials only to evaluate your suitability for the role you applied for and for related openings at ANBFFA.

Application materials are accessible only to staff involved in hiring for that position.

Where a position requires it, background checks, fingerprinting (Live Scan), and reference or licensing checks are conducted in line with California Department of Social Services requirements and applicable law.

Consistent with the California Fair Chance Act, we do not ask about conviction history until after a conditional offer, except where a criminal background check is expressly required by law for positions involving children.

We retain application materials for the period required by California employment record-keeping rules (generally a minimum of four years), then securely dispose of them.

You may request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your application materials by contacting us, subject to legal retention requirements.

Service providers who operate the site on our behalf — our website host, our form delivery provider, our payment processor, and our analytics provider. They may only use the information to perform services for us.

Government agencies and courts where required — including the California Department of Social Services, San Bernardino County Children and Family Services, and juvenile courts, in connection with licensing, placement, mandated reporting, audits, or a lawful order.

Professional advisors such as auditors, attorneys, and insurers, bound by confidentiality.

Job and volunteer applications — a minimum of 4 years, consistent with California employment record-keeping requirements.

Donation records — 7 years, to meet nonprofit accounting and tax requirements.

Records connected to foster care licensing, placement, or services — for the period required by California licensing regulations and county contracts, which may be longer than the periods above.

Website analytics — retained in aggregated or de-identified form.

All pages and forms on this site are served over HTTPS (TLS encryption in transit).

Cookies we set are configured with the Secure flag, so they are only transmitted over encrypted connections.

Session and authentication cookies are set with the HttpOnly flag, which prevents them from being read by client-side scripts and reduces the risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Cookies use the SameSite attribute (Strict or Lax as appropriate) to reduce the risk of cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Access to submitted information is limited to staff who need it for their role.

Paper and electronic records containing confidential case information are stored in accordance with California licensing requirements.

Right to know — what personal information we have collected about you, where it came from, why we collected it, and who we shared it with.

Right to access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Right to delete — ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal and licensing retention requirements.

Right to correct — ask us to fix inaccurate personal information.

Right to opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, but you may still direct us not to.

Right to limit use of sensitive personal information.

Right to non-discrimination — we will never deny you services, charge you differently, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.
