A Angel Adoptions
Effective date: July 30, 2026
Last updated: July 30, 2026
A Angel Adoptions (“A Angel Adoptions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides adoption services to birth mothers and adoptive parents throughout the state of Alabama. We understand that the information shared with an adoption agency is deeply personal, and we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at https://aangeladoptionsalabama.com/, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please note that this policy covers information collected through our website; personal information collected as part of the adoption process itself is also protected under this policy and handled with additional care and confidentiality as described below.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Information you provide to us directly. When you contact us, submit an inquiry or application, request information, or begin working with us, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. As part of an adoption inquiry or application, you may also choose to share sensitive personal information — for example, information about pregnancy, health, family circumstances, or background. You provide this information voluntarily so that we can assist you.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our analytics providers may automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and how you arrived at our site. This helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide adoption services and support;
- Communicate with birth mothers and adoptive parents throughout the adoption process;
- Evaluate and process applications and match birth families with adoptive families;
- Provide information, resources, and updates you have requested;
- Maintain records required for our operations and to comply with applicable adoption, legal, and regulatory requirements;
- Understand website usage through analytics; and
- Protect the security and integrity of our website and organization.
Confidentiality of Adoption Information
We treat information shared in connection with the adoption process as strictly confidential. We do not disclose the identity or personal details of birth mothers or adoptive parents except as necessary to provide services, as authorized by you, or as required or permitted by law. Alabama adoption records and proceedings are subject to specific legal confidentiality protections, and we handle your information consistent with those requirements.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade it to third parties for their marketing.
We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With your consent, or as needed to provide the services you have requested (for example, with attorneys, counselors, or agencies involved in your adoption, as appropriate);
- With service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email, and analytics — and only so they can perform those services for us;
- For legal and safety purposes, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, respond to a legal request, protect the rights or safety of any person, or enforce our policies; and
- In connection with an organizational transfer, in the unlikely event of a merger, dissolution, or transfer of our assets or programs, in which case information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect, and we apply heightened care to the sensitive information shared during the adoption process. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. For your protection, please avoid sending highly sensitive details through unsecured email; you are welcome to contact us by phone to discuss sensitive matters.
We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide our services and to meet our legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to function properly and to gather analytics about how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the site may not work properly if you disable them. If we use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics), that provider may set its own cookies and process information according to its own privacy policy.
Your Choices and Rights
You may:
- Opt out of communications at any time by contacting us using the information below;
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond to reasonable requests consistent with applicable law and our recordkeeping obligations; and
- Manage cookies through your browser settings as described above.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws. To exercise any right, contact us using the information below and we will assist you.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through our website, please contact us and we will delete it. Information about a child in connection with an adoption is provided by the birth parent(s) or legal guardian(s) as part of the adoption process and is handled confidentially as described above.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
