This www.racialequity2030.org website (“Website”) and platform (collectively, the “Platform”) are managed by RAMPIT, LLC ("RAMPIT", “we” or “us”)to administer the Racial Equity 2030 challenge sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (the “Challenge”).  The terms and conditions governing your access to and use of the Platform, including the Services provided through the Platform, are contained in the Terms and Conditions available at http://www.racialequity2030.org/terms-conditions ("Terms"). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is a part of the Terms. As used herein, the term "you" means the individual user accessing the Platform.  All other capitalized language used, but not defined in this Privacy Policy, may have the meanings given to them elsewhere in the Terms. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, as it describes what information we gather from you, and how we may use and disclose that information. By registering a User Account and/or by accessing or using the Platform, you expressly consent to the information handling practices described in this Privacy Policy.

The Personal Information RAMPIT Collects

1. Personal Information Provided Directly by You: You may provide to RAMPIT personal information such as your name, email address, postal mailing address, home/mobile telephone number, etc. while using the Platform, such as when you register, when you submit Entries and/or when you provide information in order to compete to receive any Award(s).
2. Automatically Collected Personal Information: When you use the Platform, we may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer. RAMPIT may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Platform. Persistent cookies can be removed. Please review your web browser "Help" file to learn about the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from the Platform, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Platform to their fullest potential.
3. "Flash Cookies" Information: Flash and other browser plugin applications use technology similar to cookies to enable the storage and recall of settings, preferences and usage data, and other information. Because they are stored in separate software applications, these types of cookies are not managed through your web browser's cookie management interface. RAMPIT may employ such techniques, including Adobe Flash Cookies (also called "Local Shared Objects") to track information related to your interaction with features of the Platform through which Flash-based content is provided. You can access various Flash Cookie management tools and configure certain privacy and security settings for your Flash Player from Adobe's web site directly.
4. "Automatically Collected" Information: When you use the Platform or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your web browser by using different types of technology, including "clear gifs" or "web beacons." This "Automatically Collected" information may include Internet Protocol address ("IP Address") or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after the Platform, the pages you view on the Platform, and the dates and times that you visit the Platform.
5. Linked Website Information: When you link an account you may have on a third party service (such as any third party social networking site) to your Account on the Platform, RAMPIT may store the access credentials you provide and will have access to and may collect any information you may have stored in connection with that account that you have configured and those services to make available, including personal information and friends lists. By linking your accounts in this manner, you are authorizing RAMPIT as your agent to access and use your account on the third party service in connection with your use of the Platform.
6. Third Party Web Beacons: We may also implement third party content on the Platform that uses "clear gifs," "web beacons," or other similar techniques, which allow the third party content provider to read and write cookies (including Flash Cookies) to your browser, or implement similar tracking mechanisms, in connection with your viewing of that third party content displayed on the Platform. This information is collected directly by the third party, and RAMPIT does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by third parties in this manner is subject to that third party's own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
7. Information from Other Sources: We may also obtain information, including personal information, from third parties and sources other than the Platform, such as other Users who import your email address. We may also receive information from third party services that provide a mechanism to expose information you have provided to such third party through the use of an application program interface (API), such as Facebook Connect and the Google API. If we combine or associate information from other sources with personal information that we collect through the Platform, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
