Children’s Online Privacy Policy

This Children’s Online Privacy Policy describes how Citizen Schools collects, uses, and discloses certain personal information of children under the age of 13 obtained through our website, which is located at https://www.citizenschools.org/. To learn more about our privacy practices in general, please visit our main Privacy Policy page.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM CHILDREN AND HOW WE USE IT

Citizen Schools’ mission is to provide students with mentorship and real-world learning opportunities. As part of that mission, we offer students the ability to sign up for classes that our volunteers provide through our website. As part of offering this service, we may collect the following information from students:

  • Name

  • School

  • Student and parent contact information

  • Emergency contacts

  • and more

For more about our enrollment data, please email us.

In addition to the information listed above, we also collect information automatically from all visitors of our website, including cookies, web logs, and IP addresses. This information does not identify your child personally, and we do not associate it with personally identifiable information.

We do not require children to provide more information than what is reasonably necessary to provide our service.

In addition to providing our online learning service, we may also use the information collected above to manage our non-profit, as well as comply with any legal obligations we may have.

WITH WHOM WE SHARE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We use the information collected above to offer our online learning service to children. As part of providing this service, we may share the information we collect with our volunteers who help us run our online learning program, as well as with our service providers who help us maintain our website and manage our non-profit.

HOW WE OBTAIN CONSENT

We process the personal information of children under 13 pursuant to the consent of either their school or their parent or guardian. If we have a relationship with a student’s school, we directly obtain consent from the school to collect, use, and store the student’s information that we receive online. A parent may revoke such consent at any time by contacting the school directly or by contacting us using the information below. If we do not have a direct relationship with the student’s school, we collect, use, and store the student’s personal information by obtaining parental consent. We obtain your consent by contacting you at an email address provided to us by your child through which we send you the consent form. We allow your child to sign up for our online learning services once you read and sign the form and send it back to us.

PARENTAL RIGHTS

As a parent, you have the right to 1) review your child’s personal information that we have collected; 2) direct us to delete the personal information we have collected about your child; and 3) refuse to allow any further collection or use of your child’s information (i.e., revoke your consent). You may exercise any of the rights by contacting us through the methods outlined below.
