  • Class Lists. We collect a “Class List” from each school participating in a Company fundraiser. Class Lists are submitted by School Coordinators and may include the name and homeroom teacher of each participating Artist. For schools that have policies prohibiting providing full names, School Coordinators may submit a modified Class List which only provides an Artist’s first name and last initial, last name and first initial, or unique codes for each Artist. School Coordinators are encouraged to provide at least first names because it enhances the experience for the Artists and their families and drives better fundraising results for the school;
  • Artwork. The Company also uses the Class Lists to generate labels for each participating Artist. These labels are sent to the applicable school for their use in submitting Artists’ artwork. These labels are placed on the back of each Artist’s artwork delivered to the Company to identify the Artist for each artwork;  
  • Orders and Online Ordering. The Company also uses the Class Lists and artwork to create personalized order forms and online order codes for each Artist. Personalized order forms (which include unique online order codes for each Artist) are delivered to schools and distributed by the schools to the Artists for ordering purposes. Parents or other authorized users complete an order by providing the information requested which includes personal information such as name, email address, phone number, ship to address, billing name and address, and credit card number and expiration date; 
  • Artist’s Information. The Company cannot control what information is submitted by School Coordinators or Parents. Except as set forth above, we will not knowingly collect personal information about children without obtaining parental consent;
  • Information Under School’s Control. Once these labels, order forms, or online order codes are in a school’s or Parent’s possession, the Company cannot control further distribution or disclosure of such information and it is the school’s and/or Parent’s sole responsibility to maintain the privacy of any such information; and/or
