3. Student and Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children and students is especially important to Equity Is Mine.
Our website is intended for parents, guardians, adult supporters, donors, volunteers, and community partners. We encourage parents and guardians to submit student-related information on behalf of their children rather than having children submit personal information independently.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under the age of 13 without obtaining the required parental notice and consent.
When student information is needed for program inquiries or participation, we seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. We encourage parents and guardians not to submit sensitive student information through general website contact forms.
Parents and guardians may contact us to ask about information submitted concerning their child, request a correction, or request deletion, subject to applicable legal and recordkeeping requirements.
4. Donations and Payment Processing
Donations made through our website or fundraising campaigns may be processed by third-party payment processors or fundraising platforms, including RallyUp.
These providers may collect payment information, billing details, and transaction information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security practices.
Equity Is Mine does not intend to collect or store complete credit card or bank account numbers through ordinary website contact forms. Please review the privacy policy of the payment or fundraising provider before submitting payment information.
5. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand visitor activity, improve user experience, and evaluate website performance.
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.
If we use third-party analytics or marketing tools, those providers may collect information about your interaction with our website according to their own privacy practices.
6. When We Share Information
We may share information only when reasonably necessary for legitimate organizational purposes, including with:
• Website hosting and technology providers.
• Donation and payment processing platforms.
• Fundraising and event registration platforms.
• Email and communication service providers.
• Program partners, when necessary to coordinate an activity and consistent with applicable permissions.
• Professional advisors, auditors, or government authorities when required by law.
We expect service providers handling information on our behalf to use appropriate safeguards and to handle information only for authorized purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information for commercial marketing purposes.
7. Photographs, Videos, and Student Stories
Equity Is Mine may use photographs, videos, testimonials, and stories to highlight programs, events, student achievements, and organizational impact.
When featuring identifiable minors, we will seek appropriate parent or legal guardian permission before using their images, testimonials, or personal stories in public-facing materials, as applicable.
Parents and guardians may contact us with questions or concerns about the use of a child's image or story.
8. Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, meet applicable legal and accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and protect our organizational interests.
