Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Aum Education Society of America website and all of its location websites.
Last updated: 27 Aug 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
Aum School ("Aum School", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.
This is one common Privacy Policy for our entire website ecosystem. It covers the Main Website and every Location or Sub-Website operated under it. There is no separate policy for individual locations.
By using any of our websites, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the sites.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information we need to respond to you and to operate our programs.
- Information you provide directly: name, email address, phone number, city or location of interest, and any message or notes you submit.
- Program and enrollment details you choose to share, such as a child's age group or program preference.
- Donation and volunteer information submitted through our forms or partner platforms.
- Technical information collected automatically, such as browser type, device type, approximate region, referring page, and pages viewed.
- [Any additional categories of information collected by the organization]
3. How We Use Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- To respond to enquiries, admissions questions, and contact requests.
- To process registrations, donations, and volunteer applications.
- To send newsletters, program announcements, and event updates when you have asked to receive them.
- To improve our websites, content, and program offerings.
- To meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations applicable to a 501(c)(3) organization.
5. Forms and Registrations
When you complete a contact form, newsletter signup, enquiry, or program registration, we use the details you submit to reply and to administer that request.
Some registration and enquiry flows are hosted on our partner platform at bridge.aum.school. Information submitted there is handled under this policy together with that platform's own terms.
We keep form submissions for as long as needed to serve your request and to satisfy record-keeping requirements: [Data retention period].
6. Donations
Donations are processed through third-party payment providers. We do not collect or store full payment card numbers on our servers.
We may receive and retain donor name, contact details, donation amount, and date in order to issue receipts and acknowledgements and to comply with nonprofit reporting requirements.
Payment processor(s) used: [Payment processor name(s)].
7. Volunteers
Volunteer applicants may be asked to provide contact details, areas of interest, availability, and background information relevant to working with our programs.
Volunteer information is used to evaluate applications, coordinate placements, and communicate about opportunities. Where required for roles involving children, screening or background checks may apply: [Volunteer screening and background check policy].
8. Children's Information
Our websites are intended for parents, guardians, educators, and supporters — not for direct use by children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Information about a child is provided by a parent or guardian during enquiry, registration, or enrollment, and is used solely for that purpose.
Photographs or media featuring children are published only where appropriate consent has been obtained: [Photo and media consent process].
If you believe a child's information has been submitted to us without parental consent, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Third-Party Services
We rely on trusted third parties to operate parts of our websites and programs, such as website hosting, form and registration handling, email delivery, payment processing, and social media platforms.
These providers may process your information only as needed to deliver their service to us. Their own privacy policies govern their handling of that data.
Our websites also link to external sites, including our social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
Current third-party services: [List of third-party service providers].
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, including encrypted connections across our websites.
No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Security practices and incident response: [Security and breach notification procedure].
11. Your Rights and Choices
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Rights available under specific laws applicable to our organization: [Applicable privacy laws and jurisdiction].

- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information, where applicable law provides that right.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements.
The revised policy takes effect when posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Significant changes will be highlighted on our websites where appropriate.
