GCHS will not request any information from a person younger than age 13, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), and will not knowingly accept personally identifiable information from a child younger than age 13.
HOW COLLECTED INFORMATION IS USED
Information you give us can be used to provide services to you, at your request.

GCHS takes the protection of our users’ information seriously, both on-line and off-line. To secure your personal information, access to your data on the Website is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as credit card information) is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and the Website. To protect any data you store on our servers, GCHS also regularly checks its system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.
