Collection of Information from Children: Volunteer Arlington respects the sensitive nature of children’s privacy online. Our Sites are general information websites and applications and are not directed toward children under the age of 13. Some of the information collected by the Sites from parents and legal guardians about children may include “personal information,” as that term is defined under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) of 1998, as amended in December of 2012 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). Volunteer Arlington, however, is a nonprofit organization and, therefore, is not subject to COPPA. Although we are exempt from COPPA, we still take steps to protect children who access and use the Sites as outlined below. You must be at least 13 years old to register to use our Sites. If we learn that a registered user of our Sites is under 13 years of age, we will promptly delete any personally identifiable information we have collected about that user. If you are under the age of 13, please do not send us any information about yourself. Parents and legal guardians may sign their children under age 13 up for family volunteer opportunities; we do collect personal information about such children for these purposes but we only do so if the child’s parent or guardian has directly submitted the information. If we have collected personal information about a child, that child’s parent or legal guardian may delete such information by logging into their account and modifying the information provided, or by contacting Volunteer Arlington (volarl@leadercenter.org/703-528-2522) at any time to review what has been collected or to direct the deletion of the information, or to tell us to stop any further collection or use of that information. A parent or guardian contacting us by e-mail should include the parent's return e-mail address and the first name of the child so that we can better handle the communication. How you can "opt out" of receiving communications from us: It is our intention to only send you email communications that you want to receive. When you provide us with your email address by creating an account on the Sites, we will periodically contact you via email about Volunteer Arlington programs and services. Every time you receive an email, you will be provided the choice to opt-out of future emails by following the instructions provided in the email. you may also opt-out by emailing volarl@leadercenter.org or by sending a letter to:
Leadership Center for Excellence 4420 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 102 Arlington, VA 22203 Please allow 10 business days for Volunteer Arlington to process your opt-out and include your email address if you opt-out via postal mail. Please note that Volunteer Arlington will never send you an email requesting your password, credit card number, social security number or other similar personal or private identification information. If you receive an email that looks like it is from Volunteer Arlington, but asks you for personal information, it is a fraudulent email and you should not reply or provide such information. Data Security Commitment: To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the correct use of information, Volunteer Arlington has put in place appropriate and reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online for reasonable foreseable risk.
