Privacy Policy for EdBud
Effective Date: May 26, 2026
EdBud ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website edbud.org (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use our platform to coordinate classroom supplies.
At EdBud, our mission is to support K-12 teachers and students while respecting your privacy. We are committed to transparency regarding the data we collect and how it is used to facilitate classroom support.
Information We Collect
A. Information Provided by Teachers
When a teacher signs up, we collect:
- Account Information: Your name and email address.
B. Information from Parents and Supporters
EdBud does not require parents or community members to create an account to view or fulfill supply lists. If you contact us directly (for example, by email), we collect the information you include in that communication.
C. Log Data (Information Collected Automatically)
When you visit edbud.org, we automatically collect standard log data, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and basic information about how you use the Service.
How We Use Information
- To Provide the Service: Creating and managing teacher registries.
- Communication: Sending teachers updates, confirmations, and service-related messages.
- To Improve the Service: Understanding usage trends and improving features.
- Safety and Security: Helping protect the Service and users from misuse.
- Legal Compliance: Complying with applicable laws and responding to valid legal requests.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share only in these circumstances:
- With Teachers: When a supporter selects an item, the teacher will see the supporter's name (if provided) and the items fulfilled.
- Public Access: Supply lists are accessible via a unique, shareable link.
- Service Providers: Trusted vendors who help operate the Service under confidentiality.
- Legal Requirements: When required by law or valid requests by public authorities.
Children's Privacy
EdBud is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Teachers should not include students' full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, IDs, health information, or other identifying details in registries.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission is 100% secure.
Your Rights
- Access and Correction: Update account info from your EdBud profile.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account by contacting us.
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from non-essential communications anytime.
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and to comply with legal obligations.
