California Privacy and Tracking Disclosures
California law requires certain commercial websites to provide disclosures regarding online tracking and privacy practices.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.
Because there is not a single universally accepted technical standard for responding to traditional Do Not Track signals, our website does not necessarily respond to all browser Do Not Track signals.
Visitors may use our website’s cookie preferences, where available, to decline or manage non-essential cookies.
Third-Party Tracking
Third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, may collect information regarding your interaction with our website as described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not currently use Meta Pixel on this website.
Our third-party service providers may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies and technologies.
Children’s Privacy
Our general business website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through general website use.
Our scholarship program is intended for eligible high-school students, some of whom may be under 18. We may therefore knowingly collect information from teenage scholarship applicants as described in the Scholarship Applications section of this Privacy Policy.
This information is used for scholarship-related purposes and legitimate administrative, recordkeeping, security, and legal purposes.
If a parent or guardian has questions regarding information submitted by a minor in connection with the scholarship program, they may contact us using the information below.
If we learn that a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us improperly, we will review the situation and take appropriate action.
