Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 20, 2025
Originally Effective: May 19, 2024
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information received by Youth United for Prosperity Foundation (“YUP,” “us,” or “we”), both online and offline, on any platform (“Platform” includes the Youth United for Prosperity website), as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.
1. Introduction
Your privacy is a priority for Youth United for Prosperity Foundation (https://www.youthunitedforprosperity.org). We want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information relating to you, your computer, or your device—and any data that enables your identification (“Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy describes our practices with information that we (or our service providers) collect through our websites, applications, and other network-connected products and services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”).
This Privacy Policy only addresses information collected directly through or from our Site; it does not address or govern any information-gathering, use, or dissemination practices related to information collected through other means, such as telephone, postal mail, or other offline methods.

2(b) Sensitive Information
Unless we specifically request or invite it, we ask that you not send us or otherwise disclose any sensitive information (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, criminal background, or trade union membership). If we ever request such information, it will be with your explicit consent and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you provide sensitive information without our request, we reserve the right (but are not obligated) to erase it at our discretion.
2(c) Information About Minors
