Legal
Privacy Policy
What JJP collects through this website, what we do with it, and how to ask us to delete it.
Draft for legal review
This page has not been reviewed by a lawyer
This is a working draft prepared for The Junior Job Project. It has not been reviewed or approved by counsel and it should not be relied on as the published policy of the organisation.
Every block marked TEMPLATE still needs a real decision before this page goes live. Until then the page is set to noindex, so search engines will not list it.
Effective date: to be set by counsel when this page is approved for publication.
Section 01
What this website collects
This website has no accounts and nothing to log in to. The only information JJP collects here is what a person types into one of the forms and chooses to send.
- Your name
- so we know who we are replying to.
- Your email address or phone number
- so we can reply. A form needs at least one of the two.
- Your message
- whatever you choose to tell us, along with a note of which form it came from.
- Two anti-spam checks
- a hidden field that only automated submitters fill in, and a timestamp of when the page loaded. Neither identifies you.
Please do not send sensitive details through these forms: medical information, financial information, or government identification numbers. If we ever need something like that, we will ask for it another way.
Section 02
How we use it
We use what you send to do the thing you contacted us about, and nothing else.
- To reply to your message.
- To arrange what you asked about, such as a project booking, a volunteer application, or a question about how we work.
- To send you updates by email, but only if you asked for them. Every update carries an unsubscribe link.
- To keep an ordinary record of who we have spoken to and what was agreed.
We do not use what you send to build advertising profiles, and no automated system makes decisions about you from it.
Section 03
We do not sell your information
The Junior Job Project does not sell personal information, does not rent it, and does not hand it to anyone else for their own marketing. It goes only to the service providers described below, and only so they can do a job for us.
The one other case is a legal one: if we are required by law to disclose information, or need to in order to protect the safety of a young person, we will.
Section 04
Service providers
Running a website means a small number of companies handle information on our behalf. They are permitted to use it only to provide their service to us.
- Website hosting
- serves these pages. A host normally keeps standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and request times, for security and reliability.
- Email delivery
- carries form submissions to our inbox, and carries any updates you asked for to you.
- A donation platform, in future
- JJP has not chosen one yet. When it does, giving will be handled by that provider under its own privacy policy, and payment card details would go to them rather than to us.
Template: to be completed by counsel
Name the actual providers here before publication: the host, the email service, and the donation platform once chosen, each with a link to its own privacy policy. Confirm whether a written processor agreement is needed with any of them.
Section 06
Children and this website
The Junior Job Project runs projects for young people ages 10 to 14, so this section matters more here than it does on most websites.
This website is written for adults. It is not intended as a place for children to send us their information, and we ask that young people do not fill in these forms themselves.
A parent or guardian should submit on a young person's behalf and should be the person we reply to. Put the young person's first name in the message if it helps us, and keep the contact details your own.
We do not knowingly collect information from a child through this website. If we find that a child has sent us something without a parent or guardian involved, we delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and think your child has sent us something, tell us and we will remove it.
Anything gathered when a young person actually joins a project is handled through that process, in person and on paper, not through this website. Those documents are separate from this policy.
Template: to be completed by counsel
Counsel to confirm the obligations that apply to an organisation serving ages 10 to 14, including the federal rules on collecting information from children under 13 and what counts as verifiable parental consent, and to confirm that the offline application and consent process matches what this section promises.
Section 07
How long we keep it
We keep a form submission for as long as we need it to answer you and to keep a sensible record of the enquiry, then we delete it. If you subscribed to updates, we keep your address until you unsubscribe.
Template: to be completed by counsel
Set real retention periods here: how long general enquiries are kept, how long volunteer and project applications are kept, and how long records connected to a young person are kept. State any period the organisation is required to keep records for.
Section 08
Seeing, correcting, or deleting your information
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Send the request through the contact form on this website and say which you want. There is no charge and you do not need to give a reason.
To unsubscribe from email updates, use the link at the bottom of any of them. That takes effect immediately and does not need a request to us.
Template: to be completed by counsel
Add the response time the organisation commits to, and how it will confirm that a requester is who they say they are before deleting or disclosing anything.
Section 09
Your rights under state privacy law
Some states give residents specific rights over their personal information, and specific ways to exercise them. That paragraph has to be written for the states that actually apply, so it is left blank here rather than guessed at.
Template: to be completed by counsel
State-specific privacy law. Counsel to insert the paragraph required for residents of Arkansas, and for any other state whose residents are likely to use this site, covering the rights available, how to exercise them, how requests are verified, and any appeal route. Do not publish this page with this block still in place.
Section 10
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, for example if we start using analytics or add a donation platform, we will say so plainly rather than quietly editing the text.
Questions
Ask us what we hold about you
If you want to see what JJP has, correct it, or have it deleted, say so and we will sort it out. A parent or guardian can ask on behalf of a young person.
