Our Commitments
School Responsibilities
Participating schools are responsible for obtaining any required parent or guardian consents before inviting minor athletes to the platform, in accordance with FERPA, COPPA, and any applicable state law. NW Peak provides the platform; schools are the educational agencies responsible for student consent.
Donor privacy is important to us. Here is how we handle donor information:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Donation records | Indefinite | Tax and payout reconciliation |
| Donor name (display) | Indefinite | Leaderboard historical record |
| Donor email | 3 years | Payout disputes and financial compliance |
| Athlete accounts | Until deletion requested | Active fundraising participation |
| Athlete contact lists | Until athlete deletes or is deactivated | Athlete-controlled CRM data |
| AI interaction logs | 2 years | Usage analytics and cost attribution |
| Security audit log | 7 years | Compliance and fraud prevention |
| Rate limit counters | 90 days | Auto-purged by scheduled cleanup |
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, port, restrict, or delete your personal data. Oregon residents have rights under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA), including the right to know what data we hold and to request deletion.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at bbailey@nwpeakfundraising.org with your name, email address, and the nature of your request. We will respond within 30 days. For verified deletion requests, we will remove your personal data from active systems; data retained for legal or financial compliance (see Section 7) may be kept in archived form only.
Schools may also submit deletion requests on behalf of students. Deleting an athlete account will remove their contact list, AI interaction logs, and profile data while preserving anonymized donation totals required for financial records.
We implement industry-standard security controls including:
No system is perfectly secure. If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to bbailey@nwpeakfundraising.org.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and increment the policy version number. For material changes, we will notify users through the platform interface. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
