Wisconsin child-care regulations require licensed child-care centers to protect the confidentiality of children's records and personal information.

Certain records must also be available to Wisconsin Department of Children and Families licensing representatives.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits our legal obligations to report suspected child abuse or neglect. Wisconsin child-care providers have mandatory reporting obligations under applicable Wisconsin law.
5. Photographs, Video, and Social Media
Humbled Hearts may take photographs or videos of children and activities at the center for educational, communication, documentation, or promotional purposes.

We take reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
