Information We Collect from Children

We may collect the following information related to children under 13:

• Child's name
• Age or date of birth
• Parent or guardian's name and contact information (email, phone, mailing address)
• Health, allergy, or emergency contact information necessary for safe program participation

We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary for a child to participate in our programs. We do not collect more information than is needed for that purpose.

Parental Consent

We obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian before collecting personal information from or about a child under 13. A parent or guardian must provide consent before a child can be enrolled in our programs or before we collect any personal information related to that child.

Parents have the option to consent to the collection and use of their child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to any third party.

How We Use Children's Information

We use children's personal information only for the following purposes:

• To enroll children in our programs and services
• To communicate with parents or guardians about their child's participation, schedules, and program updates
• To ensure the health, safety, and well-being of children during program activities
• To maintain attendance and program records

We do not make children's personal information publicly available through our website or any other means.

Parental Rights

Parents and legal guardians have the right to:

• Review the personal information we have collected from or about their child
• Request correction of any inaccurate information
• Request deletion of their child's personal information from our records

Third-Party Disclosure of Children's Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise disclose children's personal information to third parties for any purpose. We do not share children's information with advertising networks, data brokers, or any commercial third party.

The only circumstances under which we may disclose a child's information are:

• When required by law, court order, or governmental regulation
• To protect the safety of the child or others in an emergency situation
• To service providers who perform essential functions on our behalf (such as database hosting), provided they are contractually bound to protect the information and use it only for the purpose for which it was provided

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain children's personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically:

• Program enrollment and participation records are retained for the duration of the child's active enrollment plus two (2) years following their last participation in a program.
• After this retention period, children's personal information is securely deleted or anonymized.

Parents may request deletion of their child's information at any time by contacting us at shamita@enrichedculture.com. Upon receiving a verified deletion request, we will delete the information within 30 days, unless we are required by law to retain it.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Limiting access to personal information to authorized staff who need it to perform their job functions
• Using secure methods to store and transmit personal information
• Regularly reviewing our data collection, storage, and processing practices

No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information or your child's information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at shamita@enrichedculture.com.

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information to any third party. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our programs, provided they agree to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they perform on our behalf
