CoderDojo Los Angeles (CoderDojo LA) is committed to protecting personal information of its Service users.
CoderDojo Los Angeles (also referred to as “CoderDojo LA”), a CoderDojo branch, together with its successors and assigns, is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information entrusted to us. CoderDojo LA complies with Federal Trade Commission’s privacy laws and regulations including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule. CoderDojo LA will only use your personal information for the purposes intended and as detailed in the Privacy Policy unless we have obtained your consent to use it for other purposes.
This Privacy Policy is applicable to personally identifiable information (“PII”) of all users collected, stored or distributed through a website or application (commonly referred to as “Apps”), on which it is posted (collectively and individually, “Service”). When this Privacy Policy uses the term “PII” or “personal information”, we mean information that identifies a particular individual. When certain other non-identifiable information is directly associated with PII, this other information also becomes PII for purposes of this Privacy Policy. Some jurisdictions may call personally identifiable information “personal data” or “personally identifying information,” and may include opinions about or related to a user within the definition of PII.
This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about the information we collect and use and your options with regard to that collection and use of that information through the Service. By use of the Service, or communications to or with us, you are agreeing to these terms. If you do not agree with any of these terms or the terms that govern the Service, please exit our site or delete our application and do not submit information to us in any way. By continued use of the Service, you signify your consent to the collection and processing of your personal information, and any resulting correlation of such information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Some parts of the Service offered by CoderDojo LA are not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children under this age through the Service.
Registration. We do not require registration on our own website (http://www.coderdojola.com). On our website and app, we do link to outside sites such as scratch.mit.edu that may require registration. (Children may also post to scratch.mit.edu in particular using the CoderDojo LA username and password which will be provided at CoderDojo events.) During registration processes on these outside sites, including to programming resources, you may be asked to set up a username and password on behalf of your child. Should you allow your child to do so for himself, neither you nor your child should use any personally identifiable information as his or her username, as this username may be visible to others on the Service. We also link to signup forms on Eventbrite, where we ask for parent contact information and child names of CoderDojo event attendees. We encourage you to list your child name on Eventbrite as first name and last initial – child first name and last name is not required. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any outside sites, as they may handle information differently than we do.
Contact Information: You may be asked to submit details such as your first and last name and/or email address in order to receive updates regarding CoderDojo LA events, to sign up for event attendance, to apply to volunteer, to contact us, and/or to leave feedback. In these cases your contact information may be stored in a secure customer relationship management database and will not be sold or provided to third-parties. Should you ever wish to remove your contact information, you may do so by selecting to unsubscribe from any email communication or by reaching out to our administration directly at coderdojolosangeles@gmail.com. You will not be asked and should not provide the contact information of your child as means for future contact from our organization.
Images and Video: We will request consent from you as parent or guardian of any child under the age of 18 years old in order to publicly publish that child’s image and/or voice. Such materials may be used, but are not limited to, social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Flickr or to the CoderDojo LA website, blog and/or other owned and operated media outlets. We will not sell or distribute the rights to your child’s image and/or voice outside our organization without your previous consent. You may contact our administration directly at coderdojolosangeles@gmail.com should you wish to revoke permission and/or remove this material from our website and/or other media at any time.
Parents are urged to supervise their children’s activities online.
CoderDojo LA urges all parents and legal guardians to supervise their children’s exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information online. If you reside in the United States, we encourage you to visit http://www.coppa.org/ for more information about COPPA and children’s privacy.
Personal information will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the form of consent required by law.
We reserve the right to collect, use, and disclose your and/or your child’s personal information without consent where required or permitted by law. Otherwise, personal information will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the form of consent required by applicable law and its use will be limited to the objectives for which it was collected as described herein. The form of your consent can vary from implied consent to express consent, depending on the circumstances and sensitivity of the information collected. We will rely on implied consent when we can reasonably conclude that you have given your consent by your action (e.g. by giving us your name and contact information so that we may send you information requested) or inaction (e.g. by not exercising an ability to opt-out). This Privacy Policy identifies the purposes for which your personal information is collected, used and disclosed. Additional consent will be obtained from you should we wish to use or disclose your personal information for any additional purpose.
Use of personal information is limited.
CoderDojo LA collects personal information for the following reasons:
– To provide you up-to-date communication regarding our organization, applicable resources of interest, event notifications and related information;

If you opt in to receive email from CoderDojo LA, your information will be used to provide you with information of CoderDojo LA events, news and/or resources that we believe may interest you and to solicit your opinion on our products and services. If you have opted in to receive this communication, we may also use your personal information to ensure that your contact information is accurate and up to date. CoderDojo LA does not collect, use or disclose your personal information for online behavioral advertising purposes.
CoderDojo LA may share your and/or your child’s personal information with the other members of the CoderDojo organization, and their respective successors and assigns, but only to the extent required to fulfill the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. You may request that CoderDojo LA not share your and/or your child’s personal information with any of the other members of the CoderDojo LA organization by contacting us as described below.
In addition to this inter-organization sharing, Coder Dojo LA may disclose personal information to third parties as follows:
– To Third Parties To Perform Processing and Other Specialized Services: At times, Coder Dojo LA may use outside organizations to perform specialized services such as, but not limited to, legal and security audits, payment processing, data analysis, e-mail delivery. These service providers are only given the information needed to perform those services and they are bound contractually to protect the confidentiality, privacy and security of your information and to limit the use of your information to the service being provided.
– To Third Parties in the Event of Legal Reasons: We advise you that we may disclose personal information to the government or other legal or regulatory authorities (i) if so ordered by a court of law or (ii) for other legal reasons, such as (a) to comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order; (b) to protect the company’s rights and property; (c) to investigate reports of fraud or of users sending material using a false email address or users sending harassing, threatening, or abusive messages; (d) to protect against what we believe in our sole and absolute discretion to be a misuse or unauthorized use of our Service; or (e) in emergencies, such as when we believe our or our affiliate’s integrity requires protection or someone’s physical safety is at risk. In some cases, disclosure may be required by law to be without notice to you.
– To a Third Party in the Event of a Significant Transaction or Other Event: In the case of any significant transaction or event involving CoderDojo LA or any of its related entities or divisions such as, by way of example, a sale, merger, amalgamation, financing, re-organization, liquidation, or insolvency, other parties to the transaction and their professional advisors may need to have access to CoderDojo LA’s customer lists and various databases as part of the due diligence process. In this event, CoderDojo LA would only provide such access under terms of a strict confidentiality agreement. Also, upon completion of the transaction or event, your personal information would be transferred to CoderDojo LA’s successor-in-interest to be used only for the purposes for which it was collected.
We take steps to protect personal information.
CoderDojo LA has implemented physical, electronic and administrative measures to protect your information from error, loss or unauthorized access. For example, we use industry-standard efforts, such as passwords, firewalls and Secure Socket Layers, to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information contained on our computer systems. In addition, our employees and any third parties we use are contractually bound to protect the confidentiality of your information and access is restricted to those with a need to know the information to carry out the identified purpose.
Protect your personal information from disclosure on social communication networks.
Please note that any information that you submit in online chat groups and public user profiles, on message boards or in similar forums on the Service can be read, collected, or used by others. Your passwords should be both easy to remember, but hard to guess and not shared with anyone (other than a child sharing their passwords with their parents or legal guardians). You should not access your account from a shared computer or device or a public computer or device to avoid the unauthorized accessing of your account. It is recommended that you not store your logins/passwords on your computer or device in case it falls into the hands of someone else. Please note that CoderDojo LA is not responsible for information you choose to submit in the forums, nor anyone accessing your account through the use of your passwords or otherwise.
