MyFairyGodParents.org (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the MyFairyGodParents.org website (the “Service”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data: While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). This may include, but is not limited to: email address; first name and last name; phone number; address, state, province, ZIP/postal code, city; and cookies and usage data.

Usage Data: We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

Analytics & Website Measurement

We use Google Analytics 4, Metricool, and MFGP's own privacy-conscious first-party website measurement to understand, in aggregate, how people use our website and resources. This helps us improve navigation, identify useful content, understand which resources people return to, and measure actions such as downloads, newsletter signup submissions, workshop-interest clicks, and contact inquiries.

MFGP's first-party measurement uses a random anonymous visitor identifier stored in your browser's local storage and a random session identifier stored in session storage. We may also record the normalized page path, the referring website's hostname, and UTM source, medium, or campaign values when they are explicitly included in a link.

Our first-party behavior reporting does not store names, email addresses, authenticated user IDs, form contents, raw IP addresses, raw user-agent strings, or browser fingerprints. The anonymous identifiers are used for aggregate counts such as unique and returning visitors and are not displayed in the MFGP admin dashboard as individual named visitor profiles.

Google Analytics and Metricool are third-party services. They may use cookies or similar technologies and may process technical, device, and usage information according to their own privacy practices.

Cookies & Local Storage

Our website and analytics providers may use cookies, local storage, session storage, tags, and similar technologies to support site functionality and measurement. You can limit or clear cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Restricting these technologies may reduce analytics accuracy and may affect some saved site preferences or functionality.

Use of Data

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To notify you about changes to our Service
• To allow you to participate in interactive features of our Service when you choose to do so
• To provide customer support
• To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our Service
• To monitor the usage of the Service
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Disclosure of Data

MyFairyGodParents.org may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary:

• To comply with a legal obligation
• To protect and defend the rights or property of MyFairyGodParents.org
• To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
• To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
• To protect against legal liability

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children's and Youth Privacy

MFGP provides educational and resource content for youth and families, including youth ages 12–24. We do not knowingly use our first-party website behavior measurement to identify children or to build named browsing profiles.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information through public forms without a parent, guardian, or other appropriate adult. If we learn that personal information from a child was collected in a way that should not have occurred, we will take reasonable steps to review and delete it.

Story, Casting & Nomination Submissions

When someone applies to or is nominated for the For Kids Like Me (#FKLM) National Story & Casting Call, MFGP may collect the application, contact, and story information submitted specifically for #FKLM casting and story consideration — for example a first name, age, state, contact details, and, where permitted, a written story. We do not ask for case numbers, facility numbers, criminal charges, or exact addresses, and we do not store IP addresses or browser fingerprints with these submissions.

For young people under 18, parent or guardian contact information and consent are required before a detailed story is collected. Children under 13 may not submit their own information; a parent, guardian, or adult professional who supplies guardian contact must start the nomination. A professional nomination is not treated as parent or guardian consent.

By default, submissions are used only for private casting review. MFGP will use excerpts or materials publicly to promote the #FKLM campaign only when the applicant (or, for minors, a parent or guardian) separately and optionally gives that permission. Anyone selected to appear in the documentary will be asked to sign a separate final production release before filming or publication; the online acknowledgments on this site are not intended to cover every production-use circumstance.

Casting records are accessible only to authorized MFGP staff and administrators. MFGP does not sell this information.

Your Privacy Choices

• Use your browser settings to limit, block, or clear cookies, local storage, and session storage.
• Choose not to submit optional website forms or optional personal information.
• Use the unsubscribe link in MFGP emails to stop receiving newsletter communications.
• Contact MFGP with questions about privacy, access, or information you previously submitted.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
