Friends of Education LLC (“Friends of Education,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit ScholarshipTaxCredits.org, contact us, sign up for updates, or participate in our programs.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, organization or school affiliation, and information included in messages or inquiries you send to us.

If you sign up for email updates, we may collect your email address and communication preferences. As Friends of Education develops its scholarship programs, we may also collect information from donors, parents or guardians, students, schools, and program partners that is reasonably necessary to process contributions, determine scholarship eligibility, administer scholarships, and meet applicable reporting requirements.

When you use the Website, certain technical information may also be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, and general Website activity.

How We Use Information

We may use information we collect to respond to inquiries, provide information about Friends of Education and scholarship tax credit programs, send requested updates, administer contributions and scholarships, communicate with donors, families, schools, and partners, improve and secure the Website, maintain required records, prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Cookies and Website Analytics

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, understand Website traffic and usage, remember preferences, improve performance, and help prevent spam or fraudulent activity.

We may use third-party providers for services such as Website hosting, analytics, email communications, form processing, CAPTCHA or spam protection, payment processing, and other operational functions. These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

How We Share Information

Friends of Education does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the Website or administer our programs. When necessary to administer scholarships or contributions, we may also share appropriate information with participating schools, educational organizations, professional advisors, payment providers, or other program partners.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Friends of Education, our Website users, program participants, or others.

Donors, Scholarships and Children’s Information

If donation functionality is offered, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Friends of Education may retain appropriate donor and contribution records for accounting, tax, audit, program administration, and legal purposes.

If scholarship applications are offered, we may collect information reasonably necessary to determine eligibility and administer scholarships, including information about students, parents or guardians, household eligibility, and school enrollment.

The Website is intended primarily for adults. Parents or legal guardians should provide information on behalf of children under 13 unless we expressly provide another process that complies with applicable law. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact us.

Security and Data Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no Website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to meet applicable legal, tax, accounting, audit, regulatory, and program requirements.
