The FTC advises businesses to understand what personal information they collect, how it flows through the business, who has access to it, and how it is protected. TPOH Futures aims to follow that practical principle by collecting only what is reasonably needed for our work and communications.

3. Email Communications
If you sign up for updates, newsletters, events, or resources, we may use your email address to communicate with you.
You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link, if available, or by contacting us directly.
Even if you unsubscribe from promotional messages, we may still send necessary administrative or service-related communications.

4. Payments and Transactions
If payments are processed through this website, they may be handled by third-party payment processors. TPOH Futures does not intentionally store full credit card numbers or complete payment credentials unless specifically disclosed and securely managed through an authorized platform.
Payment processors may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

TPOH Futures may provide educational content, programs, or community resources that are relevant to youth, families, students, or children. However, this website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent.
If a program, form, or activity involves children under 13, TPOH Futures will seek to collect information from a parent, guardian, school, organization, or authorized adult when appropriate.
COPPA applies to websites and online services that collect personal information from children under 13, including sites that are directed to children or that knowingly collect information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can review and delete the information if necessary.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, but some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

8. Data Security
TPOH Futures takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, or alteration.
However, no website, email system, or digital storage method is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The FTC recommends practical safeguards such as collecting only necessary information, protecting maintained data, and training those with access to follow appropriate practices.

9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including business, legal, tax, administrative, program, or communication purposes.
