Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

Educate to Empower respects the privacy of everyone who visits this website. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with the site:

When you browse the site, our web server and hosting provider automatically log standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you visit.

Cookies and Analytics

This site may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and to help us understand how visitors use the site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site display, though it will not prevent you from viewing our content.

How We Use Information

We use the information you submit through our contact form to respond to your inquiry. We use your email address to send updates about our resources, programs, and advocacy work if you subscribe, and you may unsubscribe at any time. Technical information collected automatically through your visit helps us maintain site security, understand site traffic, and improve the experience for visitors. We do not sell your information.

Donations

Donations made through the “Donate” link on this site are processed by Kindful under our fiscal sponsorship with Charitable Ventures of Orange County, not by Educate to Empower directly. Their own privacy policy and terms govern the payment and donor information you provide during that process.

Third-Party Services and Links

This site embeds our Instagram feed and links to our social media profiles on Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as to the site of the agency that built and manages this website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party platforms and services, and we encourage you to review their policies before interacting with them.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience, primarily educators, and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted through our forms from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and newsletter subscriptions for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries and support our work, unless a longer retention period is required for legal or accounting purposes.

Your Choices

You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message we send. You may also contact us to ask what information we hold about you or to request that we delete correspondence you have sent us. We will respond to reasonable requests to the extent we are able.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
