Privacy Policy
CONTENTS
-
At Enriched NYC (hereinafter, “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Organization”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. For this reason, we created this Privacy Notice to provide you with important information about how and we may collect, store, use, and share personal information about you and your student. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint. When we collect or use personal information about you or your student, we are subject to various laws in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including the United Kingdom), and we are responsible as “controller” of that personal information.
We strive to educate parents and students about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our services. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain consent from parents and legal guardians before we allow their students under the age of 13 to access and/or use our services. We urge students to check with their parents or legal guardians before sharing their personal information with us either through our website or online. We also recommend that parents and legal guardians talk to their students about sharing their personal information with anyone they don’t know.
If you are a parent or a legal guardian providing consent on behalf of a minor student, then in connection with our collection, use, disclosure and retention of your student’s personal information, references in this Privacy Notice to “you” and “your” mean your student. Please note that as the parent or legal guardian, you may also be asked to provide your personal information. If you do not consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information or that of your student, then you or your student may not be able to participate in, or receive the full benefit of, our services. -
It is helpful to start by explaining some of the key terms that are used in this policy.

Your information is stored and accessed by Enriched NYC employees, independent contractors, or service providers as described above (see above: “Who We Share Your Personal Information With”). Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: “Transferring Your Personal Information Out of the EEA.”
-
We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or while we are providing services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:
• To respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
• To show that we treated you fairly; or
• To keep records required by law.
We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. -
To deliver services to you, we may transfer personal information from the EEA or the UK to the United States or other third countries. These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law for which we rely on one of the following transfer mechanisms:
• Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR); or
• Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. The European Commission has determined that the Standard Contractual Clauses provide sufficient safeguards to protect the personal data transferred outside the EU or EEA.
Except for the countries with a decision of adequacy from the European Commission, non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal information will be secure. Our standard practice is to use standard data protection contract clauses that have been approved by the European Commission. To obtain a copy of those clauses, please contact us or our Data Protection Officer (see “How To Contact Us” below). -
