Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
Welcome to North Star Heroes. We understand that your family's privacy is of the utmost importance. As a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to afterschool empowerment, we are committed to protecting the information you share with us. This policy outlines our commitment to transparency and our practices for maintaining a safe, secure community for all our students and parents.
Data Collection
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you enroll your child in our program, sign up for our newsletter, or reach out to us with questions. This information typically includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses. To provide a safe and effective afterschool experience, we also collect details about your child, such as their grade level, academic interests, and any necessary health information. Additionally, we may collect generic usage data when you browse our website to help us understand how our community interacts with our digital resources and to improve our communication with families.
Use of Data
At North Star Heroes, we use the information we collect to provide a high-quality, safe, and supportive environment for your child. Primarily, this data allows us to facilitate our afterschool programs, ensuring that our homework support and leadership activities are tailored to the individual learning needs of each student.
We also utilize personal information, such as emergency contacts and health details, to safeguard the well-being of all participants while in our care. Additionally, we use your contact information to keep you informed through program updates, newsletters, and reminders about enrollment or special events. For internal operations, we may analyze anonymized information to measure the effectiveness of our services and report the impact of our mission to our donors and community partners.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
At North Star Heroes, we respect your family's privacy. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist in our program operations—such as secure payment processors or educational platform partners—provided they agree to maintain the confidentiality of this information. Additionally, we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community members.

At North Star Heroes, we are dedicated to ensuring you have full control over the personal information shared with us. Empowering parents to stay informed and involved in their child's data privacy is a core part of our mission. As a parent or guardian, you have the following rights regarding the data we maintain:
