Understanding your Promises2Kids data breach notification letter
If a Promises2Kids letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.
Why you received this letter
Promises2Kids appears to be a non-profit organization or social services provider focused on supporting children in the foster care system. Given the nature of this industry, the organization likely collects and stores sensitive personal information, including names, dates of birth, contact details, and potentially government-issued identification numbers or case-related records necessary for providing support services. This data breach was officially reported to the California Attorney General in 2025, triggering a formal notification process. If you have received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was potentially compromised during this incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific details provided by the organization and to take immediate steps to monitor your personal accounts for any signs of suspicious activity.
What to do after the letter
Confirm the notice is genuine
A legitimate Promises2Kids notice references the specific incident reported to the California Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.
Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection
The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.
Protect your accounts and credit
Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.
