WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We may collect your contact information as well as any information that you share with us if you email us to request information. If you sign up for a webinar or other informational session, we may collect information from you to make sure you have access to that webinar or session.  If you would like us to assist you with a specific question, you will also need to provide us with other information (for example a description of why you are contacting us). If you send us comments, you will also provide us with other information in doing so.

If you submit an application so that your school can participate in the Summer Boost Program, you may be directed to a different site so that you can provide the information requested in the application form. We will use that information to evaluate your application and communicate with you. 

We may also decide to provide other resources, such as resources to help identify additional staffing personnel, to collect information from available personnel, or other resources to respond to other needs. If you are providing personal information to be considered as a resource, or to look for those personnel resources, you may be directed to a different Site so that you can provide the information requested.  We will use that information for the purposes for which it is collected.

When you use our Site, third parties working on our behalf (e.g., service providers), and third parties with whom we work (e.g., our partners), may place, view, and/or use “cookies,” web server logs, web beacons, and other electronic mechanisms to collect information about your use of this Site, and other digital properties.

Your information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy even if our Site undergoes an organizational transition. However, we may transfer your information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization in which our Site participates or to a successor not-for-profit assignee or licensee of all or substantially all of our Site’s assets. You hereby consent to such transfers and our Site may assign and transfer all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations of this Privacy Policy, under the circumstances described in this paragraph.

This Privacy Policy is governed by and incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service, available at https://www.summerboost.org/terms-of-use/ and should be interpreted in a manner consistent with that Terms of Use. Where an inconsistency exists between this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy shall control the relationship between the parties. If you believe we have violated this Privacy Policy, please contact us by email at summerboost@buildingimpact.co. If we do not satisfy your concerns regarding any alleged violation and you wish to pursue a claim against us, you agree to engage in mediation in the event that direct negotiations fail to resolve your concerns. The period for mediation shall be thirty (30) days unless the parties mutually agree to an extension. If mediation fails, the parties will arbitrate the dispute pursuant to the applicable rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). Any arbitration shall take place in the State of New York before an arbitrator chosen from JAMS. Any award shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties, and a judgment rendered thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator may award any form of remedy or relief (including injunctive relief, such as temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions) that would otherwise be available in court. Any award pursuant to said arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator setting forth the reason for the award. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable laws, the arbitrator will have the authority to hear and grant motions and applications, including on an ex parte or expedited basis. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment upon the award may be entered, and enforcement may be sought in, any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any dispute relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover associated costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Privacy Policy shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
