Student and Children's Information

OGEP is committed to protecting the privacy of children and students.

We only seek student information when reasonably necessary to administer OGEP programs, events, fundraising activities, or prizes. We do not knowingly collect unnecessary personal information directly from children through our website.

Parents and guardians may contact OGEP if they have questions or concerns regarding information associated with their child.

Fundraising Pages

Families may have the opportunity to create or participate in fundraising pages associated with OGEP events.

Information displayed publicly on a fundraising page should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the fundraiser. Families should avoid posting sensitive personal information about a student.

Donations and Payment Information

When you make an online donation or payment, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor or fundraising platform.

OGEP does not intentionally store complete credit or debit card information on its own systems. Payment providers may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

Sharing of Information

OGEP does not sell or rent personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate our website, process donations, administer fundraising activities, send communications, or provide other services on OGEP's behalf.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect OGEP, our schools, students, families, or community.

Photos and Event Media

OGEP may take photographs or videos at community events and activities for use in newsletters, social media, our website, or other OGEP communications.

When student images are involved, OGEP will seek to follow applicable school or district policies regarding student photography and media permissions.

Email Communications

If you provide your email address to OGEP, we may use it to communicate information about OGEP programs, events, fundraising opportunities, volunteer opportunities, and other organization-related activities.

You may request to stop receiving non-essential OGEP email communications at any time.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website and service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website, understand website traffic, and improve the user experience.

Your browser may allow you to limit or disable cookies.

Data Security

OGEP takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services for fundraising, payments, registration, email communications, or other functions.

Those services have their own privacy practices, and OGEP is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
