Privacy Policy

Local Perx follows these core principles:

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not sell children’s personal information.
• We do not use children’s information for targeted advertising.
• We do not place third-party advertising trackers on children’s fundraising pages.
• Children are not required to create independent accounts.
• Parents and guardians control their children’s profiles.
• Children’s profiles are private by default.
• Photographs and other optional identifying information require verified parental approval.
• We collect only information reasonably necessary to operate the Platform.
• We do not disclose personal information for an unrelated third-party purpose without the required authorization.
• When required parties do not agree to an optional disclosure, Local Perx defaults to not disclosing the information.
• We give parents the ability to review, correct, download, restrict, or delete their children’s information.
• We retain children’s information only for as long as reasonably necessary for an approved purpose.
• Local Perx must use carefully selected service providers—such as payment, hosting, security, email, and text-message providers—to operate the Platform. Those providers may process limited information only for contracted Platform purposes and may not use it for their own unrelated advertising or marketing.

This Policy applies to information processed through Local Perx by:

• Members and purchasers.
• Parents and legal guardians.
• Students and fundraising participants.
• Nonprofit organizations, schools, teams, and community groups.
• Coordinators, teachers, coaches, and organization leaders.
• Participating merchants and authorized merchant employees.
• County, state, national, and other authorized representatives.
• Local Perx support, finance, compliance, and corporate administrators.
• Visitors to Local Perx websites and fundraising pages.

This Policy does not govern the independent practices of a merchant, nonprofit, school, social network, payment provider, voucher provider, or other third party when that party processes information outside Local Perx.

The information Local Perx collects depends on your role and how you use the Platform.

We may receive information:

• Directly from you.
• From a parent or guardian.
• From an authorized nonprofit, school, team, or coordinator.
• From an authorized merchant or representative.
• Through purchases, renewals, refunds, and redemptions.
• Through QR codes, referral links, cookies, and Platform activity.
• From Stripe, Twilio, and other contracted service providers.
• From social networks when a user intentionally interacts with a supported sharing feature.
• From fraud-prevention, identity-verification, and security providers.
• From publicly available business or organization records.

Organizations may not upload children’s personal information unless the required notice and authorization have been completed through an approved Local Perx process.

Local Perx may use information to:

• Create and secure accounts.
• Verify user, organization, merchant, and representative identities.
• Link parents with authorized child profiles.
• Operate fundraising campaigns and participant pages.
• Calculate goals and display progress.
• Attribute membership purchases to participants and organizations.
• Process payments, distributions, refunds, and chargebacks.
• Provide digital membership wallets.
• Display and track merchant offers.
• Facilitate offer redemption.
• Manage prizes and prize-period eligibility.
• Process approved participant or organization transfers.
• Generate financial statements and reports.
• Provide customer support.
• Deliver account and transaction communications.
• Deliver marketing communications when valid consent exists.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, duplicate activity, and unauthorized access.
• Maintain audit trails.
• Enforce our Terms and partner agreements.
• Comply with legal and financial obligations.
• Analyze and improve Platform reliability and performance.
• Produce aggregated or de-identified reports.

We do not use a child’s personal information to build advertising profiles or deliver behaviorally targeted advertising.

Local Perx is designed so children can participate without independently managing accounts or providing unnecessary personal information.

Optional public use or disclosure of a child’s personal information may require approval from:

• The child’s verified parent or legal guardian.
• The authorized organization when the information relates to its roster, campaign, branding, or program.
• Local Perx privacy or compliance personnel when a safety or legal review is required.
• The child, through age-appropriate assent, when appropriate.

These are the “Required Approval Parties.”

If any Required Approval Party declines or withdraws approval, Local Perx will use the more privacy-protective option and will not proceed with the optional disclosure.

This approval requirement does not prevent Local Perx from using a contracted provider for essential Platform operations, responding to a lawful order, preventing immediate harm, or completing another disclosure permitted or required by law. Any such disclosure will be limited to what is reasonably necessary.

Subject to identity and authority verification, a parent or guardian may:

• Review information collected about their child.
• Request a copy of that information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Withdraw consent.
• Deactivate the child’s public page.
• Remove the child’s photograph.
• Restrict future collection or use.
• Request deletion.
• Request transfer to another organization.
• Control communication preferences.
• Decline optional third-party voucher or social-sharing features.

Withdrawing consent may prevent certain optional features from operating, but it will not affect completed financial records that Local Perx must retain.

Local Perx will not require a child to provide more information than reasonably necessary to participate.

Requests may be submitted through the parent dashboard or to [PRIVACY EMAIL].

Authorized organizations and coordinators may see information reasonably necessary to manage their campaigns, including:

• Approved participant name or identifier.
• Parent-link status.
• Assigned goal.
• Sales and progress.
• Prize eligibility.
• Transfer status.
• Campaign-related support needs.

Organizations may not use this information for unrelated advertising, sell it, publish it independently, or add it to unrelated contact lists.

Local Perx does not provide merchants or representatives with unrestricted access to child profiles. County, state, and national representatives should receive aggregated or privacy-limited reporting unless individual information is necessary for an authorized support function.

Merchants may receive information necessary to validate membership and redemption, such as:

• Membership eligibility.
• Offer selected.
• Redemption time and location.
• Confirmation status.
• Limited member identification where necessary.

Merchants do not receive the identity of the student who originally received credit for a membership purchase unless specifically required, disclosed, and authorized.

Merchants may not use redemption information to create independent marketing lists unless the member separately provides consent directly to that merchant.

Local Perx may disclose limited information in the following circumstances.

Local Perx does not sell personal information for money.

Local Perx does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Local Perx does not sell, rent, or provide telephone numbers, email addresses, or children’s information to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors providing support services, such as customer service or text-message delivery, is permitted only for those contracted operational purposes.

Local Perx may send text messages only when the recipient has provided the consent required for that category of messages.

A parent cannot provide messaging consent on behalf of friends, relatives, coworkers, or other prospective supporters.

When a parent wishes to invite someone who has not consented to Local Perx messaging, the Platform should generate a trackable link and open the parent’s personal messaging application. The parent—not Local Perx or Twilio—sends the initial personal invitation.

When someone separately opts in to Local Perx messages:

• We record the consent date, source, and approved message purpose.
• Message frequency may vary.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• Consent is not a condition of purchase where prohibited.
• The recipient may reply STOP to unsubscribe.
• The recipient may reply HELP for assistance.
• We honor opt-out requests and maintain suppression records.

Opting into one category of messages does not automatically authorize unrelated promotional messages.

Local Perx may allow parents and authorized adults to create shareable links, QR codes, images, suggested messages, and printable promotional PDFs.

The parent controls whether and where these materials are shared.

When a user shares through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, email, text, or another service, that service may independently collect information under its own privacy policy.

Local Perx will not automatically post to a child’s personal social-media account. For younger participants, social-media sharing should be performed by the parent or guardian.

Local Perx may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Account authentication.
• Security.
• Shopping and membership functions.
• Referral attribution.
• Language and accessibility preferences.
• Platform performance.
• Fraud prevention.
• First-party analytics.

Local Perx does not knowingly use children’s information for targeted advertising.

Where legally required, users may manage nonessential cookies through a consent preference tool.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain Platform features from functioning.

Local Perx may create aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual child, family, member, or participant.

This information may be used to:

• Measure campaign performance.
• Compare referral sources.
• Report county, state, and national totals.
• Improve merchant categories and offers.
• Monitor Platform reliability.
• Prepare business and community-impact reports.

Local Perx will not attempt to re-identify properly de-identified information except for security testing, legal compliance, or validation of the de-identification process.

Local Perx retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the requested service.
• Maintain an active account or campaign.
• Complete payments, distributions, and refunds.
• Protect against fraud and disputes.
• Preserve required consent and audit records.
• Meet tax, accounting, contractual, and legal obligations.

Children’s information will not be retained indefinitely.

When a child’s information is no longer necessary, Local Perx will delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it unless retention is legally required.

Public child-profile content should be removed or made inaccessible when:

• A parent withdraws approval.
• The organization relationship ends.
• The profile is transferred or closed.
• Local Perx determines continued display is unnecessary or unsafe.

Financial transaction records may remain after profile deletion when required for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, refund, or legal purposes. Those retained records will be restricted from ordinary campaign use.

The final production system must maintain a written retention schedule specifying retention periods for each category of information.

Local Perx uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

These measures may include:

• Encryption in transit and at rest.
• Role-based permissions.
• Multi-factor authentication for sensitive roles.
• Restricted administrative access.
• Secure payment processing.
• Audit logs.
• Security monitoring.
• Backup and recovery procedures.
• Provider security reviews.
• Employee and contractor confidentiality requirements.
• Incident-response procedures.

No system can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorized access.

If a data incident creates a legal notification obligation, Local Perx will notify affected parties and regulators as required.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Know whether we process your personal information.
• Request access to specific information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion.
• Obtain a portable copy.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent.
• Opt out of promotional communications.
• Opt out of sale or targeted-advertising sharing.
• Appeal the denial of a privacy request.
• Use an authorized agent where permitted.
• Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination.

Because Local Perx does not sell personal information or use children’s information for targeted advertising, those opt-out rights should not be necessary for those activities. We will still honor legally valid requests.

To submit a request, contact [PRIVACY EMAIL] or use the privacy controls in your account.

We may verify your identity and authority before fulfilling a request. Parents requesting children’s information must verify their parental or legal authority.

In some situations, a nonprofit, school, team, or other organization may control particular information and Local Perx may process it on that organization’s behalf.

If your request concerns information controlled by an organization, Local Perx may refer the request to that organization or coordinate a response with it.

No organization may prevent a parent from exercising legally protected rights concerning their child’s information.

Organizations should not upload academic, disciplinary, medical, disability, or other protected educational records unless Local Perx has expressly approved the use through a separate written agreement.

Local Perx is initially designed for operation in the United States but may expand to other countries.

If Local Perx operates in another jurisdiction, additional notices, consent mechanisms, contractual protections, data-location requirements, and privacy rights may apply.

International expansion will occur only after Local Perx evaluates the applicable privacy, children’s-data, communications, fundraising, and payment requirements.

We may update this Policy when our services, providers, legal obligations, or information practices change.

We will update the “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice when required.

If a change materially expands how we collect, use, or disclose children’s information, Local Perx will obtain new parental consent where required before applying that change to previously collected information.
