Student & Family Data Privacy Notice

As an educational non-profit and trusted district partner, we are committed to safeguarding the personal information of the students and families we serve. To evaluate our program impact, coordinate career-readiness activities, and provide academic enrichment, we collect specific student and family data. This may include demographic information, standardized assessment scores, attendance logs, transcripts, district ID numbers, contact details, and basic platform usage data. In full compliance with federal privacy standards such as COPPA and the Protection of Pupil Rights Act (PPRA), all personal data is collected with explicit parental or guardian consent.

We maintain strict confidentiality standards across all physical and electronic records. Access to individual student data is strictly limited to authorized staff and designated technology service providers who have undergone appropriate privacy training and require access solely to operate our programs. We do not sell student or family information, use it for target advertising, or share individual identifiable data with unauthorized third parties. Any program reporting shared with external stakeholders, donors, or school leadership is presented purely in aggregate, scrubbed of all personally identifiable information.

Data is securely managed and retained in accordance with our formal document lifecycle policies. Student temporary records are kept for a minimum of five years following a student's actual or projected program completion, after which paper files are cross-cut shredded and digital files are permanently deleted. Parents and legal guardians maintain the right to review any data collection materials, request access to their student's information, or revoke their consent and withdraw their child's data from our evaluation systems at any time by contacting our staff in writing.
