Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
BPC Connection Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy of the families, donors, and supporters who make our mission possible. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you register a student, submit a financial aid application, make a donation, share a testimonial, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, home address, and the details you enter on our forms.
When you make a donation, our payment processor (Stripe) handles your transaction. We do not store your full credit card number or banking details on our servers.
We may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type and how you use our site, to improve our services.
How We Use Your Information
To process and review student scholarship applications and communicate with you about their status.
To process donations and send you receipts and acknowledgments.
To respond to your questions and provide support.
To share updates about our mission, programs, and impact, only when you have agreed to receive them.
To maintain accurate records as required for our 501(c)(3) nonprofit operations and tax reporting.
How We Protect Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
Access to personal information is restricted to authorized volunteers and administrators who need it to carry out their responsibilities.
Sensitive documents you upload (such as IDs and proof of address) are stored privately and are only visible to you and authorized BPC Connection administrators.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate (such as our payment processor and email provider), but only to the extent necessary and under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of BPC Connection, our donors, applicants, or others.
