• Instructors 18 and over

  We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your name, email address, work address, and other personal information for such purposes as correspondence, participating in online surveys, or accessing our services at (www.morvenpark.org/education) or (instructor.centerforcivicimpact.org).

• Users 18 and under

  While some MPCCI Services are designed for children, our website and our virtual lessons dashboard are just for instructors over the age of 18. Student access to virtual lessons (student.centerforcivicimpact.org) does not require any Personally Identifiable Information.

  We do not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from users under 18 and follow COPPA Compliance. Personally Identifiable Information includes but is not limited to name, address, email address, a customer number held in a cookie, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a processor or device serial number, or unique device identifier.

  Please contact us at education@morvenpark.org you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information of a child under 18 without proper parental consents so that we may delete such data as soon as possible.

Collection Process & Usage

• How we use information that you provide

  Broadly speaking, we use voluntary personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing service and support and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Users under the age of 18 will not be asked to provide any personal information for the use of our Services. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify adult users about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers are managed by MPCCI, not third parties, and designed to safeguard the security and privacy of all personal information provided by our users. You may at any time notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.

• How we use information collected from cookies

  We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs to gather information about our website users' browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our services for our users. This information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our services to better meet the needs of our users and prospective users. Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you.

  Data collected from users under the age of 18, is not personally identifiable and only includes information surrounding the completion of a MPCCI virtual lesson. This information includes time spent using materials and whether the user completed a task. It is aggregated to the instructor (users over the age of 18) as a “class” to ensure that personal identifiers are not visible or available. Users under the age of 18 will receive an untraceable, unique code to access MPCCI services, to ensure Personally Identifiable information is not collected.

  Data will be stored using AWS cloud storage servers with robust security measures pursuant to the recommendations of our cloud storage provider. Data retention will last up to one year and then be permanently deleted from the server on a rolling basis.

Security

• How we secure information transmissions

  When you send confidential personal information to us on our website, our server software encrypts the information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled enroute and decoded once it reaches our website. Other emails that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to you transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security, credit card, or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

• How we protect your information

  Information Security: We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect through our website from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.

  Evaluation of Information Protection Practices: Our policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information are reviewed and updated annually and as needed.

  Employee Access, Training and Expectations: MPCCI values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are committed to the protection of user information. Our business practices limit employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.

  While best efforts to safeguard our users’ data are implemented, we cannot guarantee that our website will not be subject to malware or unauthorized access. There is always a risk when storing and sharing personal information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with our service is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please contact us at education@morvenpark.org

Storage & Sharing

• Disclosure of information to outside parties

  We may provide aggregate information about our customers, users, sales, website traffic patterns and related website information to our affiliates or third parties, and only to the extent required to provide services. This information will not include personally identifying information.

• Legally compelled disclosure of information

  We may disclose information if required by law.

Website Use Information

Similar to other websites, our site may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the sites visited just before and just after ours. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.

Opting Out & Data Subject Rights

Any data in aggregate can be opted out of by a parent or user. Parents can revoke their consent and ask that aggregate information related to their children be deleted from the site’s database.
