GIRL THE ALBUM
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Girl the Album (“Girl,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors, Girl Advisory Board participants, and their families.
We believe every girl’s voice matters, and we take seriously our responsibility to provide a safe, respectful environment for young people to share their opinions and ideas.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to parents and guardians.
1. Information We Collect
When a parent or legal guardian registers a child for the Girl Advisory Board, we may collect:
Parent or guardian’s first and last name
Parent or guardian’s email address
Child’s first name
Child’s age
State of residence
Information voluntarily provided about musical interests and reasons for wanting to participate
Responses to surveys, music previews, artwork reviews, and other advisory board activities
We do not request children’s home addresses, telephone numbers, school information, or photographs as part of the registration process.
Our website may also collect certain technical information, such as browser type, device information, and website usage data, depending on the technologies used to operate the site.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected through the Girl Advisory Board is used to:
Administer the Girl Advisory Board and communicate with parents or guardians
Invite participants to listen to music, review artwork, and provide feedback
Understand participants’ musical interests and opinions
Improve our music, creative materials, and album launch activities
Send updates about Girl the Album when a parent or guardian has separately requested them
Participation in the Girl Advisory Board is voluntary. Participants may choose not to answer individual questions or participate in particular activities.
We do not require advisory board members to promote Girl the Album, post on social media, or share information about the project publicly.
3. Children’s Privacy and Parental Consent
The Girl Advisory Board is intended for girls ages 10–15.
Registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. We do not ask children to submit registration information independently.
For children under 13, we comply with applicable requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including obtaining verifiable parental consent when required before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal information.
Parents and guardians may review the personal information we have collected about their child, request corrections or deletion, withdraw consent, or request that we stop collecting or using their child’s information.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the requesting parent or guardian.
4. Communication With Participants
All Girl Advisory Board communications will be sent to the parent or guardian’s email address.
We do not require participants to provide personal email addresses or social media accounts.
Parents may decide whether and when to share advisory board materials with their children.
5. Sharing Information
We do not sell or rent personal information collected through the Girl Advisory Board.
We may use trusted third-party service providers to help operate our website, manage registrations, distribute emails, and administer surveys.
These providers may access information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and must handle that information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, or security of our participants and organization.
We do not publicly identify advisory board participants without obtaining separate permission from their parent or legal guardian.
6. Photos, Videos, and Testimonials
Participation in the Girl Advisory Board does not require submitting photographs, videos, or testimonials for public use.
If we wish to feature a participant’s name, image, voice, or comments in promotional materials, we will request separate permission from the participant’s parent or legal guardian before doing so.
Declining such permission will not affect participation in the Girl Advisory Board.
7. Email Communications
Parents and guardians may receive emails relating to Girl Advisory Board activities, including invitations to participate in surveys, listening opportunities, and project updates.
Parents may separately opt in to receive general Girl the Album news and promotional communications.
Marketing communications will include an option to unsubscribe.
8. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the Girl Advisory Board, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
Parents and guardians may request deletion of their child’s information at any time, subject to applicable legal requirements.
9. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites or services, including music streaming platforms and social media websites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party services. We encourage parents and guardians to review their privacy policies before allowing children to use them.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our activities, technology, or legal requirements.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
When required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before making material changes to how children’s personal information is used.
