Last modified: December 19, 2022
ZGiRLS Foundation respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Policy”).
WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS
This Policy applies when you interact with us through our programs and our online properties, including our websites and our social media pages or handles (the “Services”). This Policy also applies anywhere it is linked. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, mobile applications, or services that may link to our Services or may be linked from the Services. Please review the privacy policies on those websites and applications directly to understand their privacy practices.
This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of our website or services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
ZGiRLS collects personal information when you interact with our Services, such as when you make a charitable contribution to ZGiRLS. We collect information from you directly, from the devices you use to interact with us, and from third parties. We may combine information from the Services together and with other information we obtain from our business records. We may use and share information that we aggregate (compile to create statistics that cannot identify a particular individual) or de-identify (strip information of all unique identifiers such that it cannot be linked to a particular individual) at our discretion.
Information You Give Us
ZGiRLS collects information that Parents and Guardians (“you” and “your”) you provide to us when you contact us directly, submit User Contributions (as that term is defined in our Terms of Use), voluntarily share your camera or screen during online program participation, complete surveys, or interact with ZGiRLS online. Please note that the ZGiRLS Services are directed to parents and guardians of girls ages 11 to 16. We require that a parent or guardian be the one to register for our Services and require their permission regarding the collection and use of their children’s information. See “Children’s Privacy” below for more information.
We collect personal information from Parents and/or Guardians that may include contact information (e.g., name, email address, and telephone number), shipping address, emergency contacts, your legal relationship to a Participant, and any legal waivers you have completed on behalf of the Participant. You may also provide us with Participant personal information, which includes contact information (such as name, email, and phone number), ethnicity, date of birth, and current school. We may also collect audiovisual information from Parents, Guardians, and/or Participants when interacting with our online programs or through social media. This Policy will also apply to any other information that you submit to us.
Through our Scholarship Application, we may also collect information about any scholarships from other sports organizations, whether the Participant is eligible for any free or reduced lunch programs at school, your household income, number of members of your household, and information about how the scholarship would benefit your family.
To the extent that we receive protected health information about you or a Participant, that information is subject to electronic disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Parents and Guardians of children under 13 may prospectively revoke their consent for ZGiRLS to collect personal information from their child, ask that personal information about their child be deleted from the site, and/or review personal information collected from their child by contacting us by email at info@zgirls.org, please include “Children’s Privacy Request” in the subject line.
