ICRA™ is committed to protecting the privacy of those who label their content and others who visit this site. Through the registration process certain information related to the registered content must be gathered if the labelling system is to work properly, including contact details for those responsible for the content. Although we may disclose information related to registered sites, we will not give out information directly linked to an individual such as name or e-mail.
ICRA™ Registration
During the course of registering a website users are required to enter a certain level of personal and site specific information needed to administer the registration. ICRA™ regards the data that it collects during the labelling process to fall into either of two categories: PRIVATE DATA and PUBLIC DATA.
PRIVATE DATA include personal information such as name, address, organisation, email address, and telephone number. PRIVATE DATA are collected solely for use by ICRA™ as part of its authentication procedure to protect the integrity of the labelling system. Such data will not be disclosed or sold to a third party without prior consent.
PUBLIC DATA are all non-private information, including among other things, the URL of the content being labelled and the label itself. PUBLIC DATA may be disseminated freely or for a fee at the sole discretion of ICRA™, for example, for use by third party web services.
The registration process is intended for webmasters or people who control digital content. Registrants can opt out and have their details removed by forwarding a request through the form at www.icra.org/contact stating their name, e-mail address and website URL. Details of information held can be obtained by forwarding a written request with proof of identity to the Chief Executive Officer at the address shown at www.icra.org/contact.

The ICRA labelling system is free for use by webmasters. Similarly, ICRAplus is free for use by parents and other concerned adults providing it is for their own personal use. Any use of the system by an individual, corporation,institution or other body for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited without prior written permission from ICRA. The ICRA labelling and filtering systems are protected by the U.S. Copyright laws and the ICRA name and logo are protected by the U.S. Trademark laws.
We believe that throughout most of this site there is no material which a parent would consider unsuitable for children. However, the content is aimed at web authors and adults who are interested in self-labelling as a means of protecting children.
Associate Members describe their own content and, although the descriptions are moderated, some of the members’ sites are of an adult nature. For this reason we provide a means to filter the listing of Associate Members and label the relevant pages differently from the rest of the ICRA website.
It is a condition of Associate Membership that sites are fully labelled so that users can check the content label before visiting those sites and filtering software that recognises ICRA labels will be effective.
The ICRA website is fully labelled using our own system. The banner advertising is beyond our direct control and this may not be labelled; however, ICRA does not carry advertising that is of an adult nature.
