Search and Privacy Policy
How we protect the information of registered persons.
What information is public?
None. Aquí Estamos does not publish personal information about registered persons: it does not display names, photographs, age, city, date, status or record number. The public search only confirms whether a record exists; it does not reveal any data about the person.
What information is private?
All information in a record is private. This includes:
- First and last name.
- Main photograph.
- Approximate age.
- City or municipality of the record.
- Date of the record.
- Status (located, in a shelter, hospitalized, sought by relatives or deceased when there is official confirmation).
- Unique record number.
- Exact address.
- GPS coordinates.
- Specific hospital or shelter.
- Phone numbers and emails.
- Relatives' data.
- Identity document.
- Medical information.
- Volunteer's data.
- Original videos and internal notes.
What can be searched?
The public search allows queries by first name, last name, full name or photograph (in a future stage through facial recognition). The system only confirms the existence of the record.
How is a person located?
The system confirms that a record exists and offers the option to request contact. An operator verifies the relationship or identity before sharing sensitive information or coordinating a meeting.
Special protection for children
The location, school, caregiver's name or any other information that could help locate a minor is never published. Every reunification requires identity verification.
