We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

When you apply to volunteer with us the information you provide us is stored internally and is only used for the purposes of processing applications, registering volunteers in our system and record keeping.

You can register with our website if you would like to receive email updates. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the signup form.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

KCC does not sell, rent, give-away or share its e-mail addresses or other information with outside sources.

Data security

All online donations and payments are processed through a secure third party site, and KCC does not receive vulnerable information such as credit card or bank account details. When you donate to KCC you agree to the policies and terms and conditions of the third party, as stated on their website.
