- Required nonprofit record-keeping
Consent & Communications
We use verified opt-in consent for promotional communications. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time. Transactional messages (registration confirmations, application updates) are sent regardless of marketing preferences.
Data Sharing
We share information only with service providers who help us operate (such as our CRM and course platform) under appropriate agreements, or when required by law. We never sell your data.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purpose collected or as required for nonprofit record-keeping, then securely delete or anonymize it.
Youth Data
We minimize collection of personal information about minors. Parent or guardian consent is required, and youth data is handled with extra care. See our Youth Safety & Participation Policy.
Security
We use HTTPS and secure form submissions, and apply appropriate safeguards for confidential scholarship and youth data. No method of transmission is fully secure, but we work to protect your information.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us. We respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Updates
We may update this policy as our practices evolve. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated date.
