This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information gathered through the SKD Field Evaluation Tool app ("the App"), which our street team uses to document the presence of street-living children and the organisations working with them around the world.

When an internet connection is available, survey data is transmitted to a private Google Sheet managed by Street Kids Direct for analysis and reporting purposes. We do not collect personal data about app users (street team members) beyond what they voluntarily enter into the survey form.
4. How We Use the Information The information collected through the App is used solely for the following purposes: • To map the locations of street-living children around the world • To identify organisations and institutions working with street-living children • To inform SKD's global strategy for reaching street-living children • To produce aggregated, anonymised summary statistics for public reporting (e.g. the Results screen in the App) • To share findings with partner organisations and stakeholders to improve coordinated responses We do not use the data for commercial purposes, advertising, or any purpose unrelated to our charitable mission.
5. Data Sharing We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties. Survey data may be shared in the following limited circumstances: • With SKD partner organisations involved in street child work in the relevant country, in aggregated or anonymised form • With Google, as a data processor, through Google Sheets and Google Apps Script, which we use to store and process survey responses. Google's privacy policy applies to their services: policies.google.com/privacy • With relevant authorities if required by law. Any public-facing results shown in the App's Results screen display only aggregated statistics and do not identify individual respondents.
6. Data Storage and Security: Survey data is stored in two places: • On the device: Data is stored in the browser's localStorage until it is synced or the browser data is cleared. This storage is local to the device and not accessible by SKD unless synced. • In Google Sheets: Once synced, data is stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to authorised SKD staff. We take reasonable steps to protect survey data, including restricting access to our Google Sheet to authorised personnel only. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention We retain survey data for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Data that is no longer needed will be securely deleted.
8. Your Rights Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, individuals whose personal data we hold have the following rights: • The right to access the personal data we hold about them • The right to request correction of inaccurate data • The right to request deletion of their data • The right to object to or restrict processing of their data To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
9. Children's Privacy The App is intended for use by adult street team members and professionals only. We do not collect personal data directly from children. Any references to children in survey data relate to aggregate observations (e.g. estimated numbers of street-living children in an area) and do not include identifying information about individual children.
10. Changes to This Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
