Student Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Student privacy is important to us. We want to be transparent with you on what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. Moreover, we want you to know your rights regarding this personal data. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you read this Privacy Policy carefully before registering your child in Bold Idea. If you have any questions, you can contact us at boldidea.org/contact.
Bold Idea Privacy Principles
Our Privacy Policy is grounded in our commitment to the following Privacy Principles. Throughout, "Student Data" means everything we collect from and about Students — Personal Information, Student records, and Student-generated content — as defined under "Collection and Use of Student Information" below.
- We are deeply committed to creating a safe and secure learning environment for our students. We take the protection of Student Data seriously.
- We collect no more data than what is absolutely necessary for the delivery and evaluation of our educational programs.
- We do not sell Student Data, use it for targeted advertising, or exploit it for financial gain; we do not sell ads. We established Bold Idea as a nonprofit organization so that our mission and your trust will not be in conflict with a for-profit motive.
- We take steps to ensure the security of Student Data. We disclose it to third parties only when necessary to provide an authorized educational or operational service, where permitted by law, and subject to contractual privacy and security restrictions.
- It is important that our students understand how to take privacy seriously and how to protect their own data. We take steps to ensure students are conscientious of the data they generate and its impact on their privacy.
- We provide parents and legal guardians full access to any Student Data collected, as well as any data or content generated by that student during our sessions.
- We hold our partners to privacy and security practices no less stringent than our own.
Privacy Policy
We are deeply committed to creating a safe and secure learning environment for our students as they interact with our online learning platforms and mentor communication tools (our "Online Systems"). Students registered in a Bold Idea program are referred to as "Student" and collectively as "Students". Bold Idea volunteers who sign up as mentors in the program are vetted through background-check and are referred to as "Mentors". Bold Idea employees are referred to as "Staff". As a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, we use the data we receive only insofar as it helps our mission of increasing access and interest in computer science for all students regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status. We established ourselves as a not-for-profit organization so that a for-profit motive will not interfere with our mission of providing a trusted educational resource.
Our Privacy Policy describes what information we gather from our Users, how we use that information, and what we do to protect it. Bold Idea takes steps to minimize the collection of personal data from students. Our Online Systems are used to deliver Bold Idea's educational programs. Authorized program representatives such as Staff and Mentors may also be able to connect with students through these systems in order to provide tutorial, educational and similar services. Express consent from a parent or legal guardian will allow us to register the child for these Online Services in connection with the registration. Legal Guardians may request access to these systems at any time, and are authorized to view or change any data collected or entered by registered Students.
Bold Idea's Role Under FERPA and With School Districts
FERPA applies directly to participating educational agencies and institutions. When school districts disclose personally identifiable information from education records to Bold Idea under FERPA's school-official exception, Bold Idea acts only within the scope of that designation and the applicable written agreement. Bold Idea performs only the authorized educational service or function; remains under the disclosing district's direct control with respect to the use and maintenance of those education records; uses the information only for the purposes for which that district disclosed it; complies with applicable restrictions on redisclosure; and limits access to persons with a legitimate educational interest in the information.
School districts retain control over their education records. Bold Idea will assist a district in responding to lawful parent or eligible-student requests for access, amendment, return, or deletion of records.
In that role, Bold Idea also commits to:
- District oversight. Student data we collect on behalf of a school partner remains under that district's control. The district may audit our handling of that data on reasonable notice.
- Use limitation. We use district-shared student data only for the educational purposes specified in our agreement with the district. We do not use it for any other purpose, including marketing or fundraising.
- Return or destruction at program end. When our partnership with a district ends — whether at the end of a program, by termination, or at the district's written request — we return or destroy district-provided student data per the terms of that agreement, and we confirm completion in writing.
Parental Consent
Bold Idea is a nonprofit and is not directly subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). We voluntarily apply COPPA's protections to personal information collected online from children under 13, and comply with COPPA wherever it applies through a contract or a service provider acting on our behalf. Before we create an account for a child with any outside service, we obtain verifiable parental consent from a parent or legal guardian using a method that meets the verifiable parental consent standard of the COPPA Rule (16 C.F.R. §312.5(b)).
- Timing. A Student may join a club before we have parental consent. In that case, Staff or a Mentor may add the Student to our student database with only their name, grade, birth date, and zip code, and give them a login to our own systems. Until consent is received, the Student uses only services that require no account and collect no personal information. Accounts with outside services, such as the Student's Bold Idea Google account and coursework platforms, are created only after consent. If we have not received consent by the last session of the Student's club, we delete the Student's information.
- Scope. The consent we obtain covers our own collection of student data and our use of approved third-party services (listed in the "Third Party Services and websites Used by Bold Idea Students" section below) on the child's behalf. We do not enable additional third-party services for a child without obtaining separate consent. Where a partner school or district has agreed in writing to collect consent from parents on our behalf, that consent counts, provided it names our services and meets the same standard.
- Recordkeeping. Consent records are retained as described in "Data Retention and Deletion" below.
- Revocation. A parent or legal guardian may revoke consent at any time. See "Revoking Consent and Deleting Personal Information" below for the process and timelines.
Texas Student Information Protection
To the extent Bold Idea operates as an "operator" of a website, online service, online application, or mobile application for a school purpose under Texas Education Code Chapter 32, Bold Idea complies with the requirements applicable to operators under that chapter.
In that role, Bold Idea does not use Student Data for targeted advertising; create a profile of a student except for an authorized school purpose; or sell or rent Student Data. We use and disclose Student Data only for authorized school purposes or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
When a third-party service provider receives Student Data to provide a school-purpose service on our behalf, we require a written agreement limiting the provider's use of the information to the contracted service and requiring reasonable privacy and security safeguards.
We implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect Student Data against unauthorized access, deletion, use, modification, or disclosure. If a school district requests deletion of Student Data under the district's control, we delete that information within the period required by the applicable agreement and Texas law and instruct applicable service providers to do the same.
Collection and Use of Student Information
The sections below describe the ways Bold Idea collects and uses personal data, which refers to any information that identifies a student as an individual (directly or indirectly). This includes things like the name, birth date, zip code, grade level, etc. from Students as well as the name, email and phone of the parent or guardian ("Personal Information"), persistent cookies or IP addresses ("Persistent Identifiers"), as well as some of the non-Personal Information and technical information (described below) we collect. We collectively refer to any of this data we collect from Students, along with any Student information, Student records, and Student-generated content as "Student Data."
Our collection, use, and disclosure of Student Data are governed by our Privacy Policy and also by the provision of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and applicable state laws that relate to the collection of Student Data, to the extent each applies. Bold Idea shall not use Student Data for any purposes other than those authorized pursuant to our Privacy Policy.
The following table describes the data that Bold Idea collects from registered students:
| Data stored by Bold Idea | How and when is the data collected? | How this data is used |
|---|---|---|
| Parent/guardian name, email, and phone number | Required on registration | Used by program volunteers or staff to contact parents with announcements, reminders, or questions regarding the Student's involvement in Bold Idea. |
| First and last name | Required on registration | We use names to create student rosters and to help Mentors keep track of attendance. This data is only accessible to Bold Idea staff and authorized volunteers. Student names are printed on their folders, which are kept at the school or program site. |
| Date of birth | Required on registration | Student date of birth is used to determine the age of the student. It is also used in combination with first and last name to uniquely identify students in our system in order to prevent duplicate records. |
| Zip code and county | Optional on registration | Zip code and county data is aggregated into our reporting. This helps us track progress toward our goal of making sure every student can access a technology mentor within five miles of home or school. |
| Grade level | Required on registration | Grade level helps give mentors an understanding of the Student's learning level, and allows them to pair them with other Students at similar levels. This information is also aggregated in our reporting to give us more insight into how students progress through our program from 5th through 8th grade and beyond. |
| T-shirt size | Optional on registration | Bold Idea provides free t-shirts to students once every year. |
| Race, ethnicity, gender, and family income information | Collected on registration | We ask families to provide information on the student's racial background, ethnicity, gender, and family income level. This helps to improve our outreach efforts, making our program accessible to ALL students regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status. |
| Bold Idea Student ID and password | Created the first time Student attends a session | A unique identifier is created for every student along with a randomized password. This allows Students to log into our Online Systems. Usernames and passwords are printed on student folders and kept at the school. No personal information is tied to these IDs in the context of our online learning platforms and mentor communication tools. |
| Bold Idea Google login | Created once parental consent is received | A Google "G-Suite" account under the boldidea.org domain is created for each student for the purpose of authentication with other authorized third-party sites. We restrict these accounts to only allow authentication on authorized sites as well as access to a Google Drive (a cloud-based file storage service). Students are NOT given access to email and cannot send or receive emails using this account. Access to all other Google services (such as YouTube) are turned off. These restrictions are configured at the Google Workspace level so that the student account cannot be used to send data to external Google services or to advertisers. |
| Attendance data | Recorded each session | Mentors track attendance data for every student registered in the program. This helps to track and measure student engagement at our individual program sites. |
| Login time, IP address, and other technical data | Automatically collected as students use a Bold Idea online service | This helps Bold Idea troubleshoot any problems in user experience. It also helps Bold Idea understand usage patterns, ensure our Online Services can support all users, and enable site updates with minimal service disruption. See section below on "technical information" for more details. |
| Pre- and post-survey data | Collected at the beginning and end of the school year | During the beginning and end of each school year we ask for responses to attitudinal questions that measure students interest in computer science, attitudes toward learning (growth mindset), and interest and awareness in technology careers and college majors. |
| Assessment data | Collected during each Bold Idea session | Student learning is assessed at each session. This used to help students and mentors gauge student learning, and to help inform the design of future curriculum. We also use this information to track overall skill development during a student's time with Bold Idea. |
| Student projects (apps, games, websites, etc) | Collected as Students create such projects | The code and underlying assets for these projects are stored by Bold Idea, so that Students can retrieve their projects as needed. Students are advised never to include any Personal Information in their projects. Select student projects may be featured on the Bold Idea website, only with permission from the Student's parent or legal guardian. Featured projects are posted with the Student's first name and grade. Featured projects are reviewed by Bold Idea staff to ensure no other personally identifiable information is present in the projects. |
| Student-uploaded images, sounds, or videos | Collected if Students choose to upload custom files. | Students are advised never to upload any media containing Personal Information. These files are not used by Bold Idea for any purpose other than within these projects. |
| Data collected by Student-created apps | Collected if users of a code project created by the Student choose to enter data into the app. | Depending on the author's project design, a Student-created app may in turn collect data by prompting other Users (anybody who tries using the Student-created app) to enter information, such as a favorite movie. If a Student creates an app that collects and stores data in this fashion, all data entered by Users of the app may be accessed and possibly shared publicly by the app author, the app itself, and potentially anybody with a link to view the app. Bold Idea does not itself use or share this data outside of the program. Before using a Student-created app that collects data, Users are shown a clear warning that any data they enter may be shared publicly and that they should not share anything personal to them or to others. |
All above data is securely stored in Bold Idea's database. It can only be accessed by Bold Idea Staff and by Mentors who have completed Bold Idea's vetting and training. Mentors can see only the Students in their own club, and do not have access to family income information or home addresses. Staff may create, update, or delete Personal Information as needed; Mentors may add Students to their club and correct a Student's information, such as the spelling of their name or their birth date.
A parent or legal guardian of a Student under the age of 18 may also review Personal Information and correct erroneous information or remove any data by contacting Bold Idea Staff directly at boldidea.org/contact. See "Revoking Consent and Deleting Personal Information" below for the full process and timelines.
Data Retention and Deletion
The schedule below applies to data Bold Idea collects directly from Students and their families. Student data provided to us by a school district under a written agreement is used, shared, and retained only as that agreement allows, and is returned or destroyed at the end of the partnership or at the district's request, as described in "Bold Idea's Role Under FERPA and With School Districts."
Our student database is the only place we keep student data long term. Other services we use on a Student's behalf hold only what they need to work.
We retain student data only as long as it serves the purpose for which it was collected, and we delete or de-identify it on the schedule below.
Bold Idea is a multi-year educational program. A small set of records — what we call the long-term educational record — is kept beyond the year a student leaves so that we can support re-enrollment, verify program completions and certifications years later, and evaluate the long-term impact of our programs. Day-to-day operational data (account credentials, attendance line items, contact details, case notes, messages) is deleted on a much shorter clock.
| Data category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Long-term educational record — enrollment identity (name, dates of enrollment), participation history, program/course completions, certifications, and major assessment outcomes | Retained while the educational purpose holds; reviewed annually. Used for re-enrollment, verifying completions and certifications, and longitudinal program evaluation |
| Operational student records — active account credentials, attendance line items, case notes, day-to-day messaging, current contact information | Duration of participation, plus 1 year after the student leaves the program |
| Inactive student accounts | Suspended within 1 business day of program exit; account credentials and operational data deleted no later than 1 year after exit. The long-term educational record above is retained separately |
| Survey responses (with identity attached) | Until the program evaluation they were collected for is complete, then de-identified |
| Survey responses (de-identified) | Retained for program-evaluation reporting |
| Students added without parental consent | Deleted after the last session of the Student's club if consent has not been received |
| Parental consent records | 7 years from the Student's last activity, or for as long as we retain the Student's long-term educational record, whichever is longer. Kept so that we can show consent was obtained |
| Financial records (donations, etc.) | 7 years (IRS requirement) |
A parent or legal guardian may at any time request earlier deletion of any of the data above — including the long-term educational record — using the process in "Revoking Consent and Deleting Personal Information" below. Where applicable law requires us to retain a record (for example, a donation receipt for tax purposes), we retain only the minimum necessary and segregate it from program data.
Services Provided by Bold Idea
Student Portal (my.boldidea.org)
This is an portal used by students to view curriculum materials, track their learning progress, and access other Bold Idea resources. Students also use this system to keep track of their digital portfolio of projects as well as certain learning achievements (also known as "badges").
Coding Environment
The Student Portal also includes a web-based coding application which allows students to write code and test their projects. This application contains only the tools necessary for coding projects, such as an editor and project previewer. The code and underlying assets for student-created projects are stored by Bold Idea, so that Students can retrieve their projects as needed.
Third Party Services and websites Used by Bold Idea Students
Zoom (zoom.us)
Zoom is a video/webcam conferencing system used by students and mentors during club sessions. Meetings are hosted on the partner school's Zoom account. Only background-checked mentors are given access to video conferencing. "Break-out rooms" are used to group students into one-on-one sessions. All break-out rooms are visible by multiple authorized personnel at any given time. Students join using a meeting link that is only accessible by logging into the Bold Idea student portal. Students do not need a Zoom account to participate, however, they must provide their first name when joining the meeting in order for the host to admit them.
Google Forms (forms.google.com)
Students submit pre- and post-survey information using Google Forms. This may require students to log in using their Bold Idea Google account (see table in the "Collection and Use of Student Information" section above). Survey submissions are private and are only seen by Bold Idea Staff.
Codio (codio.com)
Codio is the online coding platform Students use for their coursework. Each Student's Codio account is created under Bold Idea's organizational account, and only after we receive parental consent. Codio stores the Student's coursework and projects, and does not share Students' personal information with third parties.
Kenney.nl
Kenney.nl is a free-to-use website that provides digital artwork for use in video games or other visual projects. This site has been deemed as appropriate for children of all ages, and does not require students to log in or submit any personal information.
Jfxr.frozenfractal.com
This website is a free-to-use sound effect generator that allows students to create and download sound effects for use in their projects. It does not require students to log in or submit any personal information.
Technical Information
To provide a personalized learning and high-quality experience for our Students, we may use various technologies that automatically record certain technical information from your browser or device, including browser language settings, standard log files, web beacons, or pixel tags. This technical information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring or exit pages, click stream data, operating system, and the dates and times that you visit the Website. This information assists us in understanding how our Online Services are being utilized.
To track information about use of our Online Services, we use various technological tools. For example: Like most websites, whether or not you are a registered member, we may send one or more cookies — small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that save to your computer or mobile device when students use our Online Services. Cookies remember information about your activities on a website and enable us to provide Students with a more personalized learning experience. We collect this information for various purposes:
- Essential cookies: these ensure the Website works properly for Users. As one example, when you authenticate and log in, thanks to essential cookies you aren't prompted to re-enter your password on every single page you visit during your browsing session.
- Functional cookies: these help us personalize the Website and make it faster or more user-friendly. For example, thanks to functional cookies the Website may remember your language setting (English, Spanish, etc).
Bold Idea may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears automatically after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Website. You can, however, remove a persistent cookie at any time. Please review your web browser Help file, Tools menu, or other similar menu options to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note that without cookies you will not have access to certain services and features on our websites.
Third Party Service Providers
Bold Idea may use a variety of third-party service providers, such as cloud hosting, email services, analytics for website usage, and social networking platforms to host our videos. We may allow third-party service providers to place and read their own cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information through the Website. This technical information is collected directly and automatically by these third parties.
We use third party services to implement our Website and all of its associated services and features, including (but not limited to) Amazon Web Services and Azure (for website hosting and data storage) and Google G Suite (for authentication using "Sign In with Google" or Chromebook login).
Before we approve any third-party service that handles student or family data, we require a binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or equivalent contract terms that place enforceable obligations on the vendor. Specifically, our DPAs require that:
- The vendor uses Bold Idea data only to deliver the contracted service to Bold Idea. Secondary use is prohibited, including (without limitation) advertising, marketing, sale or licensing of the data, profiling, and training of artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.
- The vendor receives no ownership of, and no independent right to access or use, Bold Idea data outside the scope of the contract.
- The vendor maintains security and privacy practices no less stringent than our own and must notify Bold Idea promptly of any data breach.
- At contract termination, the vendor returns or destroys Bold Idea data on a defined schedule.
We maintain an internal Approved Vendor List and review each vendor's DPA status on a recurring basis. Website analytics, where used, are configured to anonymize IP addresses and to exclude pages directed at children under 13.
Bold Idea does not allow advertising on our Website or Online Services, and we do not have the ability to collect your web search history across third-party Internet websites or search engines.
Uploading Custom Content
As part of our coding curriculum, Registered Students can upload custom images, text, sound, and videos to Bold Idea's platforms to use within applications or "apps" that they create. These files are stored by Bold Idea, and are not used by Bold Idea for any purpose other than within the applications created by Students.
Students are instructed to never type, submit, or upload personal information or photos when using our Online Systems. Volunteer mentors are also trained to make sure students do not disclose any personal information online during the course of a Bold Idea program.
Information We Do NOT Collect
Bold Idea does not directly collect or store payment instruments. Donations to Bold Idea are processed via third parties, and although Bold Idea receives a receipt for donations (for tax purposes), we never receive the payment instrument (such as credit card or wallet information).
Limitations on Access to your Personal Information by Employees and Authorized Parties
Bold Idea's officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and contractors must have a legitimate business reason (related directly to furthering our charitable, nonprofit education-focused mission) to access Personal Information you provide to Bold Idea. Bold Idea will require our officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, and contractors to comply with this Privacy Policy, and to treat any Personal Information of Bold Idea Students as confidential information.
How We Share or Transfer Data
We do not rent or sell Personal Information, Persistent Identifiers, or any other information that we collect from Users, or exploit it for financial gain in any other way. Bold Idea will never share or grant rights to Personal Information with other third-party organizations to use without your consent, except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the explicit ability and choice to opt-in.
Whenever we share Student personal data, we hold our partners to privacy and security practices no less stringent than our own.
In particular, we do not share any Personal Information you provide with our donors or sponsors (other than the "Public Reporting" of de-identified reports as described below).
We may share de-identified information with our Local Partners
Our Local Partners will be able to see de-identified demographic information, attendance, and survey data from Students. They will not see names or parent contact information of any Student.
Public reporting on Student demographics and outcomes
We may publish de-identified information about Student demographic information, attendance, and survey responses. However, we will never publicly disclose Personal Information in these reports. Data about Students will remain de-identified. Aggregated, de-identified data over large populations of Students may be reported by demographic criteria such as age, general location, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
We will share data when required by law
Bold Idea may also disclose Student data including Personal Information or Persistent Identifiers if required to do so by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with local, state, federal, international, or other applicable laws or respond to a court order, judicial or other government order, subpoena, or warrant, or administrative request. In some cases, we may make such disclosures without first providing notice to Student, Teachers, schools, parents or legal guardians.
We may share data in the context of a change of business, including a merger or acquisition
In the event that Bold Idea is acquired by, combined or merged with another entity, we may transfer or assign the Personal Information and Persistent Identifiers that we have collected from Students as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. Our promise to you is that any Personal Information and Persistent Identifiers we have collected from Students would be safeguarded by the acquiring organization under the same level of safety and privacy as afforded by this Privacy Policy.
Our Approach to Data Security
Online security is important to you, and to us
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections to your Personal Information. If you have any questions about how we handle or protect your personal data, please contact us.
We try to ensure that our Website and information sent to us are safe, but no security measures are perfect
Bold Idea uses certain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards designed to reasonably protect the confidentiality, availability, integrity and security of your Personal Information, Student Data, and other information we maintain in connection with our Online Services. Our safeguards include:
- Encryption of Sensitive data at rest (AES-256 or equivalent) and in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher).
- Restrictions on physical access to the data center, hardened system configuration, patch management, and a documented disaster-recovery process.
- Background checks and security and privacy training for employees and volunteers who handle student data.
- Periodic internal audits of access, retention, and vendor agreements.
We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any or all of the Personal Information and other information you transmit to Bold Idea, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, Bold Idea maintains and enforces commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such Personal Information and other information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If a breach occurs
If we determine that a security incident has resulted in unauthorized access to or disclosure of your Personal Information or that of our Students:
- We will begin our internal containment, investigation, and notification process as soon as we become aware of the incident.
- We will notify affected individuals (or, for students, their parents or legal guardians) without unreasonable delay and in any event no later than 30 days after we determine that a breach has occurred. This is sooner than the 60 days the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act allows.
- If a breach affects 250 or more Texas residents, we will also notify the Texas Attorney General as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after we determine that the breach occurred.
- If our school-district partners are affected, we will notify them on the timeline set by our data-sharing agreement (typically within 72 hours).
- Notifications will describe what happened, what information was involved, the steps we are taking in response, and what affected individuals can do to protect themselves.
Conditions of Use and Notices
If you choose to register your Student in our programs, visit our Website, or use our Online Services, any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, application of the law of the State of Texas and venue for all disputes in Dallas, Texas.
If any provision of this Privacy Policy is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Privacy Policy will remain in full force and effect.
Revoking Consent and Deleting Personal Information
A parent or legal guardian may, at any time, ask us to:
- review or correct the Personal Information we hold about their child;
- export a copy of that information; or
- revoke consent and delete their child's Personal Information and Persistent Identifiers.
To make a request, contact us at https://boldidea.org/contact. We may need to verify your identity and your relationship to the Student before we process the request.
When we receive a verified deletion or revocation request, our process is:
- We log the request with the date and the requester.
- We deactivate the student's account within 1 business day. Once deactivated, the account can no longer be used to access Bold Idea services.
- We delete identifiable Personal Information and Persistent Identifiers within 30 days of the request — from our student database and from every service we use on the Student's behalf, including their Bold Idea Google account and coursework accounts — except where applicable law requires us to retain a specific record (for example, a donation receipt for tax purposes). Where retention is required, we retain only the minimum necessary and segregate it from program data.
- We send written confirmation when the request has been completed.
If you are a Student under the age of 18, you may also reach out through the same contact form; we will work with you and your parent or legal guardian on the request.
Updates to our Privacy Policy
From time to time our Privacy Policy will change. Bold Idea will notify users and parents of registered Students of any change to our Privacy Policy by posting the revised Privacy Policy with an updated date of revision on our Website. If we make any significant changes to the policy these will be called out with a short notice of the revision conspicuously posted on the Website homepage. We may also contact users and notify them of the changes if required by law. We stand behind the promises we make. We will not materially change how we collect, use, or share Student Data we have already collected without first notifying parents and legal guardians and obtaining their affirmative consent. Continued use of our services does not count as consent. We take the protection of the personal data you provide to us very seriously, and we strive to put you in control of decisions around your personal data.
