Children’s Privacy & Safety Policy

1. Collection of Information About Minors

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verified parental or legal guardian consent.

• “Personal information” includes, but is not limited to: full names, contact information, school details, and any data that could reasonably identify the child.

• Any stories, photographs, or videos of students featured on our website, social media, or printed materials are published only with prior written consent from the student (if age-appropriate) and their parent or guardian.

​

2. Use and Sharing of Information

• Information about minors is used solely to highlight scholarship recipients, share program impact, or fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

• We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information of minors to third parties.

• Limited access to personal information is granted only to authorized staff, contractors, or volunteers who have agreed to maintain confidentiality and data protection standards.

3. Data Security

• We employ physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect minors’ information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

• Photos and content identifying minors are stored securely, with restricted access.

• Whenever possible, identifying details (such as last names or specific locations) are omitted from public-facing materials.

• 4. Parental Rights

• Parents or legal guardians may:

• Request to review the information we hold about their child;

• Request corrections to any inaccuracies;

• Withdraw consent for the use of their child’s information at any time, in which case the content will be removed from our platforms.
