Diversity Statement

Our community thrives on the richness that diversity brings, and we believe that our full potential will only be realized when we foster an environment that is both equitable and inclusive. Diversity is more than just recognizing differences—it’s about understanding the unique backgrounds and characteristics that make each individual or group distinct. By acknowledging and valuing these differences, we can better appreciate the strengths, needs, and experiences of various communities. This understanding is crucial for identifying disparities and shaping initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. Your willingness to share demographic data with us plays a vital role in helping us grow as an organization, enabling us to uphold our commitment to these principles and advance our mission of achieving equity for all.

Children’s Privacy

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we are required to obtain verifiable parental consent before knowingly collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13).

We do not intentionally collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under thirteen (13) without first securing verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian (“Parental Consent”). The only exception is the minimal information needed to obtain such consent (“Required Information”).

Until Parental Consent is verified, any Required Information provided will be used solely for the purpose of obtaining that consent.

If you are under the age of thirteen (13), please do not attempt to register for or use our services, nor submit any personal information to us, except for the Required Information necessary during the Parental Consent process.

Should we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under thirteen (13) without Parental Consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.

If you believe that a child under thirteen (13) may have provided us with personal information beyond the Required Information without Parental Consent, please notify us promptly at privacy@amiracle.org.

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States or other countries outside of your jurisdiction.
