Who We Are
This website is operated by Future of the Youth (“Future of the Youth Limited,” “we,” “us”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Detroit, Michigan. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information you choose to send us:
- Program info requests: a parent or guardian’s name, email address, and state, and their child’s name, grade, academic interests, and program preferences.
- Contact messages: your name, email address, topic, and message.
When website analytics are enabled, Google Analytics and Google Ads collect standard usage information such as pages visited, device and browser type, and approximate location, using cookies or similar technologies. We do not send form contents to these services.
Donations are processed by PayPal on PayPal’s own website. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
Children’s Privacy
Our programs serve young people, but this website is intended for parents, guardians, and adults. Information about a child should be submitted only by their parent or guardian. If you believe a child has sent us personal information directly, contact us and we will delete it.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your request or message
- To share information about our programs with families who ask
- To coordinate volunteers, mentors, sponsors, and donors
- To understand how the website is used and measure the effectiveness of our outreach
How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run this website and respond to you, such as our website host, email provider, Google (analytics and advertising measurement), and PayPal (donations), or when required by law.
Your Choices
- You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
- You can ask to see, correct, or delete the information you have sent us.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
