Missing children
Issuing an AMBER Alert is a serious matter. The media attention and privacy consequences for the child and its family in question are to be assessed by the police and in some countries the public prosecutor, taking into consideration EU and national legislation. An AMBER Alert (or similar alert with alternate name) requires the permission of the parents or guardian of the child in question.
In accordance with article 8 of the European Convention on Human Right (ECHR), AMBER Alert will never publish data without the prior consent of the claimant to publish his/her information or picture on a public network. If the claimant has indicated that the use of the picture is not to be published on a public network, but limited to for instance a closed network, AMBER Alert will respect this demand.
Information about missing children on the AMBER Alert Luxembourg website is carefully collected from official police sources throughout Europe. AMBER Alert Luxembourg is not responsible for the content in the missing children descriptions on its website.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Data related to specific individuals and the personality profiles of website users could be processed for different purposes by Google, with the website operator having no influence on said purposes, and being unable to acquire any influence thereupon. This, together with the fact that data is transmitted to the USA, constitutes a problem in respect of data privacy.
