PRIVACY

Who can view my personal information?
Some personal information about a 'helper' is available to the calendar's Recipient and Coordinator when you sign up to fill a need. This information is provided to them in the event they need to contact you. Any other use of this information is discouraged, but CareCalendar is not responsible if someone chooses to use it for any other purpose.
How will you use my email address?
Automated email notifications and reminders will be sent to you for each need you sign-up to fill. The Care Recipient and Care Coordinator will also have access to your email address.
Why do you need my phone number?
Your phone number is needed so a Care Recipient or Care Coordinator can contact you. While some people prefer to communicate with email, not everyone shares that preference. Some people would rather work out details over the telephone. Also, not everybody checks email on a regular basis, so in time sensitive situations, a phone number is sometimes needed to ensure that information is delivered promptly. The Care Coordinator may also have a need to contact you by telephone to discuss various aspects of the "care" that you provide that may not be done as easily via email.
