Haalawwanii fi Dambiiwwan Oduu Haaraa

Draft, pending legal review. These terms describe how this website works, what you may do with what is on it, and how the coalition handles the information it collects. They have not been reviewed by a lawyer. If anything here matters to a decision you are making, write to us first and we will answer plainly.

Who we are

The Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition (ACLIC) is a coalition of child-led structures in Addis Ababa. Every seat on its executive is held by someone under eighteen, and every officeholder leaves that seat at eighteen. The programme is managed and funded by Save the Children under Sida's CSO Strengthening for Child Rights programme, 2025–2028; meetings and programme activities are prepared and organised by OSD Ethiopia.

Using this website

You are welcome to read, quote and link to anything published here. Please do not attempt to gain access to parts of the site that are not public, to disrupt it for other people, or to collect personal information from it in bulk. The administration area is for accounts issued by the coalition.

Content, copyright and reuse

© Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition. All rights reserved. The text, images, logo and design of this site belong to ACLIC or to the people who created them for the coalition, and may not be reproduced for commercial purposes without permission.

Quoting us in reporting, research or advocacy is welcome — please attribute it to ACLIC and link back where you can. Partner organisations' names and logos remain the property of those organisations and appear here to identify them, not to imply that they endorse anything else on this site.

Email updates

Signing up does not by itself add you to the list: we send one confirmation email, and you are subscribed only once you follow the link in it. If you did not sign up, ignoring that email is enough. Updates come from a coalition address at aclic.org.et and every one identifies who sent it. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works immediately, without signing in to anything.

Information we collect

• If you subscribe — your email address, your chosen language, the date you consented and the page you subscribed from, so we can show the subscription was genuinely requested.
• Your IP address, briefly — used only to rate-limit forms against automated abuse, and not linked to your subscription.
• Page views — counted as daily totals per page only. There is no per-visitor record, no tracking cookie, no advertising pixel and no third-party tracker anywhere on this site.

We do not buy, sell, rent or share any of it with anyone outside the coalition. You may ask us to delete your record entirely rather than simply stopping the emails.

How that information is protected

• The site is served over HTTPS, so what you submit is encrypted in transit.
• Records are held in the coalition's own database on its own hosting account, not in a third-party mailing service.
• Administrator passwords are stored only as argon2 hashes, and every account must set its own password before it can do anything.
• Access to subscriber data is restricted to superuser accounts, and every export is written to an audit log recording who did it and when.
• Sign-in is rate limited and, where configured, protected by reCAPTCHA.

Children, photographs and safeguarding

ACLIC is a child-led coalition, so we expect many of the people reading this to be under eighteen. You are welcome here.

Photographs of officeholders are published only with consent, and are stripped of embedded metadata — including any location recorded by the camera — before they are stored. If a parent or guardian asks us to remove a young person's photograph, name or email address, we will do so on request and without argument. Write to the address on the contact page.

Links to other websites

Some pages link to organisations and services the coalition does not run, including the membership application form and partners' own sites. We are not responsible for their content or their handling of your information; their terms apply once you leave this site.

Accuracy and availability

We try to keep this site accurate and current, but it is maintained by volunteers under eighteen alongside school. Content may be incomplete or out of date, and the site may be unavailable at times. Nothing here is legal, medical or professional advice.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change in a way that affects what you agreed to, we will say so in an update before the change takes effect.
