Privacy Policy

& Terms of Use

The Miami Heart Gallery (“Miami Heart Gallery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an online multimedia exhibit presented by Citrus Family Care Network, a division of Citrus Health Network, Inc., in collaboration with The Children’s Trust.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected through www.miamiheartgallery.com and related website communications.

The Miami Heart Gallery features children in Miami-Dade County’s foster-care system who are eligible for adoption. The gallery containing children’s photographs, videos, profiles, and other personal information is protected by a password.

Gallery access is limited to prospective foster and adoptive parents who have completed the required training and have been provided with the password by an authorized Citrus Family Care Network representative.

Certain child-welfare, dependency, adoption, medical, educational, and case-related information is protected by federal and Florida confidentiality requirements. Nothing in this policy authorizes the disclosure or use of information prohibited by law, court order, contract, or child-welfare policy.

PASSWORD-PROTECTED GALLERY ACCESS

The Miami Heart Gallery’s child profiles are maintained within a password-protected section of the website.

The gallery password is provided only to prospective foster and adoptive parents who have completed the required training and have been authorized by Citrus Family Care Network to view the gallery.

Information associated with training, authorization, and gallery access may be collected or maintained by Citrus Family Care Network or an authorized child-welfare partner to:

• Confirm that required training has been completed
• Determine whether gallery access is authorized
• Protect the privacy and safety of featured children
• Manage and monitor access to the gallery
• Investigate suspected unauthorized access or misuse
• Comply with child-welfare, legal, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements

The password is confidential. Authorized individuals may not share, publish, forward, sell, transfer, or otherwise provide the password to another person.

Completing training or receiving the password does not guarantee approval to foster or adopt, establish eligibility for a particular child, or create a right to receive additional confidential information.

PROTECTION OF CHILD PROFILES

Photographs, videos, biographies, personal descriptions, and other information about featured children are displayed only for authorized foster-care and adoption-recruitment purposes.

Access to this information is limited to prospective foster and adoptive parents who have completed the required training and received the gallery password from an authorized Citrus Family Care Network representative.

Authorized visitors may not download, save, copy, screenshot, screen-record, reproduce, publish, forward, distribute, or post any child’s profile, photograph, video, or identifying information.

Child-profile information may not be posted on social media, shared with an unauthorized person, or used for publicity, fundraising, research, commercial activity, artificial-intelligence training, facial recognition, or any purpose unrelated to the authorized foster-care or adoption process.

Visitors may not attempt to identify, locate, investigate, or contact a featured child or the child’s foster family, biological family, school, caregiver, or service provider.

Questions about a featured child must be directed to the authorized adoption team or the prospective parent’s assigned child-welfare professional.

Access to or viewing of a child’s profile does not create a right to contact the child, receive additional case information, be matched with the child, or pursue a particular foster-care or adoption placement.
