10. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our Position

We do NOT knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Our service is designed for adults (school administrators and parents). If we discover we've accidentally collected data from a child under 13, we delete it immediately.

Student Names Are Optional

When parents make purchases, they can optionally enter their child's name (for prize recognition). This is:

  • Provided by the parent (not the child)
  • Optional (not required to complete purchase)
  • Used only for that specific campaign
  • Deleted according to your retention schedule

11. School Privacy Laws

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)

Does NOT apply to our service.

FERPA protects "education records" maintained by schools. Fundraising contact information (parent emails and phone numbers) is:

  • Voluntary commercial data (not education records)
  • Provided by parents for purchasing (not maintained by school for educational purposes)
  • Not subject to FERPA restrictions

State Privacy Laws

Residents of these states have additional rights—contact us at [email protected] to exercise them.
