Every child on Curaid is protected by design. Here's exactly how — and what every NGO must agree to before a single campaign goes live.
When a family shares a child's story to seek help, they are making one of the most vulnerable decisions of their lives. They are trusting that the platform will handle that story with care — that it will not outlast its purpose, not be misused, not follow their child for a lifetime.
Children with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other conditions already carry stigma in India. A carelessly published photo or identifying story can compound that stigma in ways the family cannot anticipate: in schools, neighborhoods, and future workplaces.
Curaid's default is anonymity. Every piece of visibility beyond that requires an active, documented choice by the parent or guardian — not an assumption, not a checkbox buried in terms, not a default opt-in.
Every campaign is assigned a tier. The tier determines how much of the child's identity is visible to the public.
No campaign photo may be uploaded until the appropriate consent tier has been established and documented. The NGO is responsible for obtaining and retaining consent records. Curaid may request proof at any time.
Campaign photos and stories may not be shared on the NGO's own social media or marketing materials without a separate consent agreement specifically covering those channels.
If a parent revokes consent, the NGO must notify Curaid within 2 hours. The profile will be downgraded to Tier 1 and identifying content removed within 24 hours. Donation campaigns remain active — only visibility changes.
An NGO that publishes identifiable content without documented consent will have all campaigns suspended pending review. Repeated violations result in permanent removal from the platform.
If you want to change your child's visibility tier, have content removed, or have questions about how your child's information is used, contact us directly. We process all such requests within 24 hours.
