This policy is designed to explain what information is collected, what we use it for, who we share it with, and other aspects how we maintain this information.
Student Application Data

Types of personally identifiable information collected for this purpose may include but is not limited to:

- ethnicity
- academic information

Donor Data
The Foundation is committed to the privacy and security of all donors. Any information provided by donors is provided voluntarily and is protected in a commercially reasonable manner. We do not sell, share, or trade donor information and will not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations without specific permission to do so.
Any donor information provided for donation processing through a third-party service provider will be used only as necessary to process the donation. All processing of payments and related information, including by third party service providers, is protected by industry standard safeguards.

We may retain your email address and the content of email correspondence with you if you choose to correspond with us via email.
Sharing of Information with Third Parties
The Foundation works with a third party (Scholarship America) to collect, process, and maintain scholarship application data (You can access Scholarship America’s privacy policy here: https://scholarshipamerica.org/privacy/). The Foundation may also share your data with the Foundation’s corporate parent (the California New Car Dealers Association).
How does the Foundation Secure Personal Information?
To secure your personal information, we use commercially reasonable physical, technological, and administrative safeguards. These safeguards are designed to protect your data from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure.
If your data is breached, we will notify you as required by law.
