Last Review and Update: January 22, 2022
Columbus Robotics takes your privacy seriously. As a nonprofit and a mission-driven youth-serving organization, we are compelled to understand who we are serving, how our programs are performing, and make improvements so that we can achieve our goals of making Columbus Robotics accessible to any youth who wants to be part of the fun, exciting and life-changing experience. Thus, we need to collect certain personal data from you to ensure we are meeting our goals and responsibilities as a youth-serving nonprofit organization.
This Columbus Robotics Privacy Policy describes how Columbus Robotics ("Columbus Robotics," "our," "we," "us,") collects and processes personal data that users (“user,” “your,” or “you”) provide to us at any of our web sites where this Policy is posted (the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy also applies to personal data which Columbus Robotics obtains by other means, as described below.
Treatment of Data for Minor Youth
Our treatment of youth data is governed by the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
It is our policy to gain consent from parents/legal guardians when collecting data on anyone under the age of 18. Youth under the age of 13 are not permitted to create accounts or provide personal data on our Sites.
If we learn that we have personal data obtained directly from a child under 13 we will delete that data as soon as possible. If you believe we have collected data on a minor under age 13, notify us per section 19 of this policy and we will delete that data as soon as possible.
