Privacy Policy.

Effective date: October 7, 2026  ·  Last updated: October 7, 2026

Project THRIVE ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by JD Health & Wellness in partnership with Salem-Keizer Public Schools, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

When you enroll in Project THRIVE or contact us, we may collect the following:

• Enrollment information: Student name, date of birth, school and grade, parent/guardian name and contact details (for middle school), and digital signatures.
• Contact information: Name, email, phone number, role, and any information you include in a contact form message.
• Program participation data: Weekly check-in notes, attendance and academic status indicators, and well-being observations collected by your mentor during the program.
• Website usage data: Basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically by our hosting provider for security and site reliability purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Enroll students in Project THRIVE and confirm consent
• Provide weekly mentor check-ins and track student well-being over time
• Coordinate with school counselors and licensed clinical providers when a student needs additional support
• Communicate with parents or guardians about program participation, concerns, or safety issues
• Improve the program through aggregated, de-identified analysis
• Comply with legal obligations, including mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse or neglect

3. FERPA and Student Privacy

As part of our partnership with Salem-Keizer Public Schools, student education records are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We access, use, and share student information only with authorized school staff and THRIVE team members who have a legitimate educational interest. We do not share student information with third parties outside the school without parent consent, except as required by law.

4. Who We Share Information With

We share your information only with:

• Authorized Project THRIVE staff directly involved in your student's support
• School counselors and administrators at your student's school, as part of the coordinated care model
• Licensed clinical providers, when a referral is made for a Tier 3 clinical need, with appropriate consent
• Your insurance provider, when billing for covered services, with your consent
• Government agencies or law enforcement, only when required by law (e.g., mandatory abuse reporting, court orders)

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, ever.

5. Safety Escalations

If a mentor becomes aware that a student is in danger of harm to themselves or others, or that a student has been subjected to abuse or neglect, we are required to share that information with the student's family, school staff, and appropriate authorities. The student will be told when a safety escalation is happening.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access controls, and secure data storage. No system is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or stored on our systems.

7. Children's Privacy

Project THRIVE serves students, including those under 13. We collect information from minors only with the consent of a parent or guardian, except where a minor is legally permitted to self-consent (such as high school students 14 and up for mentoring services under Oregon law). We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and related state laws governing student data.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Review the information we hold about you or your student
• Request corrections to inaccurate information
• Withdraw consent and stop participating in the program at any time
• Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal retention requirements

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact form.

9. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses minimal technical cookies required for the site to function (such as session storage during form submission). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. We may add privacy-respecting analytics in the future (such as Plausible or Fathom), which do not track individual users.

10. Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted by Netlify and uses Netlify Forms to process submissions. Enrollment data submitted through our forms is temporarily stored by Netlify before being delivered to our team. Netlify's privacy practices are available at netlify.com/privacy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date. If changes significantly affect how we handle your information, we will notify enrolled families by email.

12. Contact

For questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us through our contact form.

This Privacy Policy is provided as a standard template and should be reviewed by legal counsel familiar with FERPA, HIPAA (if applicable to any billing processes), Oregon student privacy law, and the specific data handling practices of your program before relying on it.
