This policy describes how we collect and use your Personal Information and how we address other privacy matters. We also describe methods for contacting Bay Area Learning Partners if you have privacy questions, comments or feedback. The information that we collect, and how we use it, depends on your relationship with us and as your relationship evolves with Bay Area Learning Partners. This policy is organized based on those different types of relationships – Personnel, Clients, and Donors.
• Personnel - Individuals who work directly on Bay Area Learning Partners • Clients - Individuals who establish a relationship with us or otherwise are beneficiaries our services.

You may fall into more than one category. For example, a Donor may volunteer time or expertise directly to our work as Personnel depending on the specific circumstances.
“Personal Information” means your personally-identifiable information such as your name, email or mailing address, phone number, any account credentials (e.g. User id and passwords for certain software services), social security number, government ID
numbers and other information that can be used to identify you personally. The following describes in further detail the information we collect at various stages of our relationship with you.
Personnel
Depending on the level of work conducted, varying amounts of your Personal Information is collected as a matter of routine for anything from accessing information protected by Bay Area Learning Partners to information required to provide forms of compensation.
Clients
The nature of the work done at Bay Area Learning Partners requires disclosure, collection, maintenance, and disposal of the most important Personal Information of our clients. We will only collect what is legally required and/or relevant to your status as a client, however we will apply industry standard best practices to all information collected, regardless of how it might come to our possession.
Donors
The financial nature of donations requires certain data collection and retention by law, which Bay Area Learning Partners will follow all industry standard best practices to protect. Donor information sharing is strictly limited to what the law requires or what a Donor has given express permission to be shared.
The work done by Bay Area Learning Partners can be very sensitive, therefore BALP takes information protection very seriously. We use exclusively reputable commercial products and services, we encrypt and protect data at all stages, and we develop policies and training to keep our Personnel up to date with data protection technologies and strategies.
As a practice, Bay Area Learning Partners will opt out of any service requests to provide anonymized information. While anonymized information is generally safe to collect and share with service providers, we take very seriously the potential for reverse engineering of anonymized data — however remote — due to the nature of our work.
