Understanding What We Collect and Why
To provide the highest quality services, we collect personal information from families, volunteers, and community members. This may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contact information, dates of birth for children, payment information, and health or medical records where relevant. For website visitors, we may collect data such as IP addresses, browser types, browsing behavior, and interactions with our website. This information allows us to communicate effectively, provide tailored programs, ensure the safety and well-being of children, and improve our services. We collect data through enrollment forms, online contact forms, email correspondence, phone calls, and in-person interactions. We also gather information to comply with legal requirements, manage our programs, and maintain a safe and nurturing environment for all participants.
Use of Collected Information
How Your Information Supports Our Mission
The personal information we collect is used to deliver programs and services, communicate with families and community members, and manage our operations effectively. For children and families, this information helps us track developmental progress, schedule activities, coordinate care, and ensure that dietary, medical, or special requirements are met. For volunteers, we use the information to assign roles, communicate responsibilities, and provide guidance on program participation. We may also use personal data to send newsletters, updates about events, reminders, and relevant information about our services. For website visitors, collected data helps us understand how users interact with our website, improve navigation, and enhance the overall user experience. We never sell personal information to third parties and only share data with trusted partners when necessary for program delivery, legal compliance, or child safety.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
Protecting Your Information While Fulfilling Our Responsibilities
We may share personal information with third parties in limited circumstances, always with your privacy and safety in mind. This includes sharing with service providers who assist with payment processing, communication, or program management. Data may also be shared with governmental or regulatory agencies if required by law or to protect the safety and welfare of children. When sharing information with external providers, we ensure that these parties maintain the same high standards of privacy and security. Internally, access to personal information is restricted to staff who need the data to perform their duties. We continually evaluate the necessity and security of any data sharing, ensuring it aligns with our mission and privacy commitments.

Cookies may store preferences, assist with login functions, and track website interactions. This helps us improve website functionality, tailor content, and ensure smooth navigation. Users may choose to disable cookies through their browser settings, though some features of our website may become limited if cookies are disabled. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information unless it is voluntarily provided by users through forms or registrations.

Data Security Measures
Protecting Your Information With Industry Standards
The security of personal information is a top priority at THE OVERTON SOCIAL CLUB. We implement comprehensive measures to protect data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes encryption for sensitive data, secure storage, firewalls, access controls, and ongoing staff training on data protection protocols. Physical records are stored in secure locations, and electronic data is protected through password-protected systems with regular security updates. In the event of a security breach, we have procedures in place to respond quickly, mitigate risk, notify affected parties when required, and prevent recurrence. We are committed to safeguarding your information while maintaining transparency about the methods we use and our ongoing efforts to enhance security measures.
Retention of Personal Data
Keeping Information Only As Long As Needed
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. For children enrolled in our programs, records may be kept for the duration of enrollment and a period afterward to meet regulatory or safety requirements. For families, volunteers, and staff, information is retained to manage participation in programs, communicate effectively, and maintain records of engagement. Once personal information is no longer needed, it is securely disposed of or anonymized to protect privacy. Regular audits of our data retention practices ensure compliance with best practices and legal requirements, balancing operational needs with privacy protection.
Parental Rights and Consent
Ensuring Families Have Control Over Their Data
Parents and guardians have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information regarding their children. Enrollment forms and consent documents include detailed information about how data will be used, and parents must provide permission for activities that involve sharing personal or health-related information. Families are encouraged to communicate with our administrative staff if they wish to review, update, or withdraw consent for the use of their child’s data. We respect parental authority and provide clear guidance on how information is collected, stored, and shared. Consent is a fundamental part of our commitment to transparency and trust.
Use of Photos, Videos, and Media
Celebrating Achievements While Respecting Privacy
THE OVERTON SOCIAL CLUB occasionally captures photographs or videos of children and events to share achievements, program highlights, or promotional material. Parental consent is required for the use of any child’s image or likeness. Images and videos are handled responsibly, stored securely, and shared only with authorized parties or on official communication channels. We take care to avoid identifying children publicly without express permission and ensure that media use aligns with our values of safety, respect, and professionalism. Families can opt-out at any time, and requests regarding media use are honored promptly and respectfully.
Third-Party Links and Services
Transparency About External Connections
Our website and programs may include links to third-party websites, resources, or services. While we strive to provide reliable and trustworthy links, THE OVERTON SOCIAL CLUB is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of external sites. We encourage families, volunteers, and visitors to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing personal information. Any data shared with third parties is limited to what is necessary to participate in collaborative programs, make payments, or access external resources and is always done with care and consent where applicable.
