Privacy Policy

Campus Ready Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website (campusready.org), our “Notify Me” email sign-ups, our donor pages, and our student application experiences.

What we collect

• Contact information you provide (e.g., name, email) when you subscribe, inquire, or apply.
• Donation details (e.g., gift amount, designation). Payment card and bank info are handled by our secure payment partner and are not stored by us.
• Application information from students/guardians needed to assess eligibility and provide support.
• Basic site activity (e.g., pages viewed) to keep the site reliable and improve content.

How we use information

• To operate our programs and provide updates you request.
• To process and acknowledge donations and provide tax receipts.
• To review student applications and deliver support fairly and efficiently.
• To maintain site security, fix issues, and understand what content is useful.

How we share information

• With trusted service providers who help us run the site, process donations, email updates, or manage applications.
• When required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
• We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.

Donations are processed through a secure third-party platform. Your payment details are handled by that provider under its own privacy practices.

Your choices

• Emails: you can unsubscribe anytime using the link in our emails or by contacting us.
• Access / correction / deletion: email us and we’ll help with reasonable requests.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for our programs, legal/financial obligations (e.g., donation records), or as required by law. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No method is 100% secure, but we work to prevent misuse, loss, and unauthorized access.

Children

Our public site isn’t aimed at children under 13. If you believe a child provided information without consent, please contact us and we’ll address it. For student applicants, we collect only what’s needed to assess eligibility and provide support, and we protect it appropriately.

California & other regional rights

If you’re in a place with specific privacy rights (like California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights, such as to know, access, correct, delete, or limit use of your data. We honor applicable laws. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the new date at the top. If changes are significant, we’ll provide a clearer notice.
