The STRIVE Resource Library and Coaches Hub may provide registered users with access to curriculum, lesson plans, training resources, program materials, and other STRIVE content.

We may collect information relating to account registration and use of these areas to administer accounts, provide access to appropriate resources, improve our educational offerings, maintain security, and understand how STRIVE resources are being used.

Use of STRIVE curriculum and downloadable materials is also subject to our Terms of Use.

Children's Privacy

STRIVE works with schools, athletic programs, community organizations, educators, coaches, students, and young people through its programs. However, our Resource Library and account based website services are intended primarily for educators, coaches, staff, partners, and other authorized organizational users.

STRIVE does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 without appropriate authorization or consent when required by applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 13 has submitted personal information to STRIVE through our website without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete the information.

Information collected from participants through specific STRIVE programs, schools, or partner organizations may also be subject to separate consent forms, program notices, agreements, or privacy requirements.

Data Security

STRIVE uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, online service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by STRIVE.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain appropriate organizational records, comply with legal or contractual requirements, resolve disputes, and protect STRIVE's rights.
