Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how New Work Foundation (“New Work Foundation”), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data in connection with New Work Foundation or dearCC's brands, including “New Work Foundation”, “dearCC”, as well as any website, specific product, service, or application that references or links to this Privacy Notice.

Our Role in Processing Personal Data

Partner-Specific Preferences

Certain of our third-party providers and partners offer additional ways that you may exercise control over your personal data, or automatically impose limitations on the way we can use personal data in connection with the services they provide:

Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as your mobile device or social media provider), may provide you additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our products and services from accessing certain types of information from your device (such as your contact lists or precise geolocation data), and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent integrated products and services from accessing certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Children’s Personal Data

Our services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. If an individual is under the age of 13, they should not use our services or otherwise provide us with any personal data either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal data. To the extent our services are used by individuals between the ages of 13 and 18, such as students exploring career and educational opportunities, we do not knowingly sell or share their personal data, or process it for targeted advertising purposes, without the consent required by applicable law.

Security of Personal Data

If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within thirty (30) days, except where we are required to retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. De-identified or aggregated data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytical and service improvement purposes.
