In this policy, we describe the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website https://www.wisdaa.org (our “Website“) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and sharing that information.

This policy applies to information we collect:

  • On this Website.
  • In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and this Website.
  • Through mobile and desktop applications you download from this Website, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and this Website.
  • When you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this policy.

It does not apply to information collected by:

  • us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Company or any third party; or
  • any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from the Website.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. This policy may change from time to time so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Children Under the Age of 13 #

Because middle school students participate in our programming, we acknowledge those students, including those under the age of 13, might register for accounts on our Website. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA“) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents“) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children“). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. 

Terms that are defined in the general privacy policy have the same meanings as used in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13.

This section notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from children:

We require all Website users, including students, to provide their name, institutional affiliation, city, state, and email address during the account registration process.

  • How we use the information we collect from children:

All information is used solely internally. We will aggregate this information to learn more about our participants.

With respect to the Website, we use personal information solely for the purpose of website development and maintenance, including but not limited to diagnostic and testing purposes.

  • Our practices for disclosing information we collect from children:

We do not provide personal information of children to third parties for any reason.

We may provide aggregated information to potential sponsors and donors, as part of our case for why they should support the Association. A child will not be personally identified, nor will a child’s individual, disaggregated information be used as part of any such effort without the express written consent of the child’s parent.

  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.

We provide notice of our privacy practices to and collect verifiable consent from parents through a variety of means depending on the context and purpose for which we collect personal information from children. In some instances, we will provide notice through our Website or an email and obtain consent from a parent at an email address or phone number that is not provided by a child. In other situations, we may collect consent by engaging in a monetary transaction with a parent or by obtaining written signed consent from a parent. A parent can review a child’s personal information, direct us to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of a child’s information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at office@wisdaa.org. The parent must provide us with enough information to verify the identity and locate their child’s account.
