Last updated: March 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how gorsebrae.org collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy explains what information we gather, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your data.

Information We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services to parents and educators seeking after-school learning and creative development resources for children.

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site. This helps us understand how visitors interact with our content and improve user experience.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or contact us directly, we collect information you voluntarily provide such as your name, email address, phone number, and messages. We may also collect information about your interests in specific programs like art classes, robotics clubs, music lessons, or summer camps to better serve your needs.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze site usage patterns. These technologies help us deliver personalized content and improve our website performance.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for multiple purposes aligned with our mission to support creative and educational development for children in the United States.

Your data helps us provide personalized content recommendations, including suggestions for art classes, robotics clubs, language workshops, and summer camps that match your family's interests and needs. We use contact information to respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and send updates about new programs and resources.

We analyze aggregated usage data to improve our website functionality, enhance user interface, and develop new features that serve parents aged 40-60 seeking educational opportunities for their children. Your information also helps us maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

We never sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering services, but only under strict confidentiality agreements.

Your Rights and Choices

You have significant rights regarding your personal information, and we respect your privacy preferences. You can access, review, and update your personal information at any time by logging into your account or contacting us directly.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions. If you wish to have your information removed from our systems, we will process your request promptly. You can also opt out of marketing communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or by contacting us directly.

You may restrict how we use your information and have the right to data portability, meaning we can provide your information in a structured, commonly used format. You can adjust your cookie preferences through your browser settings, though this may limit certain website features.

We do not make automated decisions or engage in profiling that significantly affects you. If you have questions about your rights or how we handle your data, please reach out to us using the contact information provided below.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, analyze usage patterns, and improve our services.

Essential cookies enable basic website functionality such as page navigation and account access. These cannot be disabled. Performance cookies help us understand how you use our site, allowing us to optimize content and improve loading speeds. Functional cookies remember your choices and preferences to personalize your experience.

Marketing cookies may be used to track your interests and deliver relevant content about educational programs. Third-party analytics services help us understand visitor behavior and improve our website. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information or to track you across unrelated websites. Our cookie practices comply with applicable privacy regulations and industry standards.

Data Security and Protection

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to secure data transmission between your device and our servers.

We maintain strict access controls and only authorized personnel can access personal information. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities. However, no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless law requires longer retention. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Children's Privacy

We recognize the importance of protecting children's privacy. Our website is designed for parents aged 40-60 seeking educational resources for their children, not for children themselves. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information immediately. Parents who believe their child's information has been collected should contact us right away using the contact information below.

We encourage parents to monitor their children's online activities and to educate them about internet safety and privacy protection.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including summer camp directories, art school listings, and robotics program databases. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

We may use third-party analytics services and payment processors to enhance our website functionality. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and maintain strict confidentiality.

Policy Updates and Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document.

Your continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
