Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy

100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina mentors young people in Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties. This page explains what we collect on this website, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

​

The short version: we use information to run our programs, respond to inquiries, send updates you request, and operate this website. We do not sell, rent or trade the information you give the chapter.

​

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our EIN is 26-2105444.

​

Write to us at 3600 S. College Road, Suite 390, Wilmington, NC 28412, or email 100blackmenofcoastalnc@gmail.com.

What we collect

You can share information through our program, membership and contact forms, newsletter signup, website chat, and external event registration.

​

Getting your student started. A parent or guardian gives us their own first and last name, email and phone number, the student's full name, grade and school, which program they are interested in, anything else they want us to know, and confirmation that they are the student's parent or legal guardian.

​

Membership interest. An applicant gives us their name, email, mobile number, the county where they live or work, their employer and role, a sponsoring member if they have one, a summary of their service, and an answer to a question about past removal from youth-serving positions.

​

We ask applicants not to put a Social Security number, driver license number, or any other sensitive identifier on that form. If screening needs that information, it is collected later through a separate secure process. Not through this website.

​

Contact. Your name, email, phone, organization, the kind of inquiry, how you heard about us, and your message.

​

Newsletter signup. Your email address and your choice to receive mentoring news, chapter events, scholarship opportunities and other chapter updates. We use this information to send the updates you request. You may be asked to confirm your email address. You can use any unsubscribe link provided in an email or email us to stop receiving updates.

​

Website chat. The messages you send and any name, email address or other contact details you choose to share. Wix Smart Chat processes conversations using AI and may make them available to authorized chapter team members so we can answer questions and follow up. AI answers can be mistaken; contact the chapter to confirm important information. Do not put Social Security numbers, payment details, confidential screening information or sensitive student information in chat.

​

Event registration. Our Youth Energy Academy registration link opens Microsoft Forms outside this website. That form asks for first and last name, email address, participant role, school grade level and organization affiliation. Your answers go to the form owner for registration and event coordination. Review the form's notice and Microsoft's privacy information before submitting. Contact the chapter if you need help or have questions about the form owner or how registration information is used.

​

Website records and cookies. Wix and the services used on this site may process IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, and cookies or similar technologies to operate the site, protect it, measure use and provide features. Embedded YouTube videos can also involve Google/YouTube cookies and processing, including advertising-related technologies. Their practices are described in their own privacy policies.

​

Privacy choices. We use Usercentrics for Wix to present cookie information and manage consent choices. Open Privacy Settings on the website to review the categories offered and change your choices. Some technologies are necessary for the site to work. Your browser also provides cookie controls. If you cannot use the privacy controls or need more information, email 100blackmenofcoastalnc@gmail.com.

How we use it and who sees it

Students' information. The mentoring form asks for a student's name, grade and school. A parent or legal guardian fills it out. We do not ask children to give us information directly through this site.

​

We use it to reach the family, confirm the school, and place the student in the right program. We share it with school staff only as far as coordinating mentoring at that school requires. A parent or guardian can ask us to delete it at any time.

​

Giving and membership payments. Donations use PayPal, bank-to-bank Zelle transfers or mailed checks. Membership renewal uses Zeffy. Payment providers handle payment details under their own privacy policies. Do not send card or bank account numbers through our inquiry forms or chat. The chapter keeps transaction and contact records needed for its books, membership administration and applicable receipts: name, amount, date and how to reach you.

​

Who sees the information. Authorized chapter team members use inquiry submissions, newsletter information and chat messages for the purposes described here. Wix hosts the site and supports its forms, email updates and Smart Chat, including AI processing. Usercentrics manages cookie consent, and Google/YouTube provides embedded videos. PayPal and Zeffy provide their respective payment services. Microsoft hosts the external event registration form, whose owner receives the answers. Relevant event organizers use registration information to coordinate participation; contact the chapter for details about a particular event. School staff receive only what is needed to coordinate mentoring. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect someone's safety. The chapter does not sell, rent or trade your information or put you on another organization's mailing list.

​

How long we keep it. We retain inquiry, newsletter, chat and registration information for the purpose for which it was provided, together with records we must keep for administrative, safety, legal or tax obligations. You can ask us to delete information or stop sending updates. Records held by service providers are also subject to their own retention practices and privacy policies. Contact us about a specific record; a deletion request does not remove records we are required to retain.

​

Your choices. Ask for a copy of what we have. Ask us to correct it. Ask us to delete it. Ask us to stop emailing you. Email 100blackmenofcoastalnc@gmail.com and we will respond within 10 business days.

​

Security. We limit access to the people who need it. We will be straight with you: no website is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise.

​

Other services and sites. This policy explains the chapter's use of information. Services embedded here and external sites also process information under their own privacy policies. Links may take you to Microsoft Forms, PayPal, Zeffy, Google/YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, school websites and event partners. Review the notice at the destination before sharing information.

​

Provider privacy information: Wix; Usercentrics for Wix; Google/YouTube; Microsoft; PayPal; Zeffy.

​

Changes. If we change this policy, we will update this page and change the date below.
