Camp Ramah in Northern California’s website, ramahnorcal.org (the “Website”), is intended primarily for parents and guardians of our campers and potential campers, but also for potential employees, donors and others interested in learning about our program. We strongly believe in the importance of your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how Camp Ramah in Northern California treats the personal information we collect through our Website. By using and accessing our Website, (for persons not covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), or by providing consent as to your personal information (defined below) when you enter or provide your information to use, register, or sign up for programs, you are accepting the practices, terms and conditions described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected online through our Website and does not describe the ways in which we may collect or use information obtained offline or through any means other than our Website.
In keeping with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) ‒ the law that protects children’s online privacy ‒ and the guidelines of the Children’s Advertising Review Unit of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Camp Ramah in Northern California limits the collection of personal information from children. We do not collect personal information from children from our Website. Children participating in our various activities during the preseason at promotional events (including at schools and camp fairs), and during the winter, spring and summer at our Camp, however, may upload projects, photos, videos they have participated in during these activities (using an photo/video sharing service of camps choice) via a secure link accessible from your email for your own viewing, and these uploads could contain personal information of your child (e.g., image or voice.) Additionally, these projects could be shared with other children, parents/guardians of other children, staff members, and third party contractors of Camp Ramah in Northern California as well as with third parties who may receive your child’s information from other parents/guardians whose children collaborate, participate, or were included in activities with your child. Because of this, prior to saving media at one of our preseason promotional events and/or during our registration process for camp, we ask for your consent in order for your child to participate in the camp activities. Consent forms (print or electronic) will be provided to you prior to or at such events. We also ask that you agree to indemnify Camp Ramah in Northern California, together with all its affiliates, employees, and directors, from and against any claims or losses arising from or related to any action by you in sharing any child’s information to any third party. If you decline to agree to the terms mentioned above, then your child will not be able to participate in any preseason promotional events or register for Camp Ramah in Northern California.
We get information about you in a range of ways.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on December 31, 2019.
Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we must provide you with direct notice before collecting “personal information” from your child. Effective July 1, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) updated COPPA to reflect changes in technology, and now considers a photograph, video, or audio file containing a child’s image or voice to be a child’s “personal information.” For more information about COPPA, please visit https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0031-protecting-your-childs-privacy-online.
By participating in a preseason promotional event and/or registering your child with Camp Ramah in Northern California, your child will have the opportunity to participate in all of our various camp activities. In some of the camp activities, your child will use innovative applications to create photo, video, or audio projects or software applications that may contain your child’s image or voice as well as the image or voice of other children participating in a preseason promotional event and/or one of our camps. Once your child has completed a project, they may upload the project to our video/photo storing service smug mug (www.smugmug.com) via a secure link accessible from your email inbox , which you create when you register your child with Camp Ramah in Northern California. You will receive an email notifying you that your child’s project is ready to be viewed by you. This same photos/videos may also be shared to the email address (via a secure link) or the account of other parents/guardians whose children collaborated, participated, or were included on the same project with your child. We will not collect your or their online contact information from your child or their child (Note: Your online contact information is provided by you prior to your child saving media at one of our preseason promotional events or at the time you register your child with Camp Ramah in Northern California. Any information collected from you will not be used or disclosed for any other purpose, as stated in our Privacy Policy above.)
Nonetheless, because the projects created by your child or other children may contain your child’s image or voice, and may be uploaded by your child or other children (rather than you) to our the photo/video sharing site and shared to your email address or to your account and/or the email address or account of any other parents/guardians whose children collaborated, participated, or were included on the project, the FTC may classify this as “collecting” and “disclosing” your child’s personal information. This is the only “personal information” that we may collect from your child for such purpose. It will not be used by us for any other purpose, disclosed, or combined with any other information from your child.
Your consent is required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your child’s information as may appear in a photo, video, audio, writing, or software application project(s) that your child creates, collaborates on, participates in, or was included in as part of the camp activities. Your consent authorizes the collection, use, or disclosure of your child’s information as may appear in a photo, video, audio, writing, or software application to children, parents/guardians of children, staff members, and third party contractors of Camp Ramah in Northern California as well as to third parties who may receive your child’s information from other children or parents/guardians whose children collaborate, participate, or were included on projects with your child. By signing you consent to any and all recordings of your child while s/he is participating in camp activities. We will not collect, use, or disclose any such information from your child if you do not consent. If you do not provide consent to the collection of your child’s personal information as described above, your child will not be able to save media created at preseason promotional events or register for camp, and we will delete your online contact information from our records if it was provided by your child, and/or will not use your online contact information for the purposes stated in this notice. At any time, you may refuse to permit 1) your child’s participation in Camp Ramah in Northern California (including the camp activities), 2) your child’s participation in preseason promotional events that Camp Ramah in Northern California hosts or participates in, 3) further use of your information or your child’s information by Camp Ramah in Northern California, or 4) further contact with your child, and request that we delete your information or your child’s information.
