3. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
EK Preparatory School is designed for students in grades 3–12, and we are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. All registration is completed by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the student. We collect only the student’s first name and grade level, which are used solely for program eligibility verification and are not shared with third parties.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information without proper parental consent, please contact us immediately at Support@ekpreparatoryschool.com and we will promptly delete such information.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With service providers who assist in program operations (e.g., gift card fulfillment vendors), solely as necessary to perform those services
- When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of ${ORG_NAME}, program participants, or the public
Any third-party service providers used are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than performing services on our behalf.
5. Data Retention
We retain registration information only as long as necessary to administer the program and fulfill any pending incentive obligations. Mailing address information collected solely for gift card delivery is not retained beyond the fulfillment period.
You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us at Support@ekpreparatoryschool.com. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal retention requirements.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We encourage you to contact us immediately at Support@ekpreparatoryschool.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or personal information.

As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:
- Review the personal information we have collected about you or your student
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information, subject to any legal obligations
