California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California and requires any person or company in the United States that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

Enlight Learning Foundation, as a non-profit organization supporting Christian education, does not receive any funds from the government, though we follow the privacy policy guidance as an organization supporting accredited and approved K-12 schools.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. However, these rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students".

Generally, Enlight Learning Foundation must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, according to FERPA, Enlight Learning Foundation will disclose educational records without consent to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

  • School officials with legitimate educational interest;
  • Other schools to which a student is transferring;
  • Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
  • Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
  • Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the organization;
  • Accrediting organizations;
  • To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
  • Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and/or
  • State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law.

Enlight Learning Foundation may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. Enlight Learning Foundation will notify eligible students about directory information and allow eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the organization not disclose directory information about them. The actual means of notification during the admission process, via enrollment application, Family Handbook, and other means per Enlight Learning Foundation's discretion.

An eligible student/alumni can fill out and sign Enlight Learning Foundation's Consent to Release and Share Information Form approving communication and sharing of information to any person or organization he or she deems appropriate. For additional information, visit the Federal Relay Service website.

Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control when it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. The COPPA Rule, defines what website operators and providers of online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old, including ad networks or plug-ins that collect personally identifiable information.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to stop receiving emails, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
  • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
  • Send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
  • Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:

  • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
  • Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
  • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
  • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
  • Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
  • Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of non-transactional emails.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR is a legal framework that sets forth guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information from individuals who live in the European Union (EU).

The seven key principles of GDPR are (1) lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; (2) purpose limitation; (3) data minimization; (4) accuracy; (5) storage limitation; (6) integrity and confidentiality (security); and (7) accountability.

Pursuant to these principles, we have already given indication in our Privacy Policy above and our Web Terms of Service policy below as to what data we collect, how we collect that data, how we use said data, and how we utilize cookies on our website. One further point of clarification is that all of our customer data is stored on secure encrypted platforms. We also keep offline, encrypted backups in a secured fireproof safe. Our employees may also temporarily store your data on their work computers' hard drives during the day-to-day operations. It is our policy that they delete such data in a timely manner and keep it stored securely on our cloud-based platforms.

GDPR offers a robust set of rights that give EU residents a high level of control over their information and data. We strive to honor these rights within a reasonable framework and extend this as well to all of our customers regardless of their country of origin and residence. Below are what we generally offer pursuant to these rights:

  1. The right to access - You have the right to request Enlight Learning Foundation for copies of your personal data. We may charge you a small fee for this service.
  2. The right to rectification - You have the right to request that Enlight Learning Foundation corrects any information you believe is inaccurate, under certain and reasonable conditions. You also have the right to request Enlight Learning Foundation to complete information you believe is incomplete, under certain and reasonable conditions. This is subject to administrative review and approval as, for example, we cannot simply correct report cards or transcripts without a formal and rigorous review process.
  3. The right to erasure - You have the right to request that Enlight Learning Foundation erase your personal data, under certain and reasonable conditions. This applies to addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, payment methods, confidential correspondences, and general contact information saved in our systems. Because we are an educational support organization, we retain the right to maintain all necessary records that are a part of the scholarship and educational processes (i.e., previous school records, transcripts, report cards, assignments, etc.).
  4. The right to restrict processing - You have the right to request that Enlight Learning Foundation restrict the processing of your information under certain and reasonable conditions in any manner that does not interfere with our core business processes.
  5. The right to object to processing - You have the right to object to Enlight Learning Foundation's processing of your personal data, under certain and reasonable conditions, in any manner that does not interfere with our core business processes.
  6. The right to data portability - You have the right to request that Enlight Learning Foundation transfer the data we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain and reasonable conditions.

Though Enlight Learning Foundation cannot outline every possible scenario that may fall under these rights, our administrative team will consider and discuss with you more thoroughly the certain and reasonable conditions mentioned, per your request. Please keep in mind that there is a point in which the limitations you place on your data hinders our ability to support you, and thus we retain the right to reasonably limit the extent to which we can comply with GDPR rights in order to maintain our organizational processes and continue to do business with you. You have the right to not continue participation with Enlight Learning Foundation and to restrict the data collected thus far.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
1. On our Full Privacy Policy Page
