CHASS Inc.’s priority is to protect personally identifiable information and participant confidentiality; and whenever practicable, reports shared outside CHASS Inc. will use aggregated or de-identified information.

Participation in formal research beyond routine program evaluation or quality improvement may be subject to additional consent, authorization, or review requirements when applicable.

4Information About Children and Youth

VIP Youth Leadership may serve young people ages 13–19.

CHASS Inc. takes children's and adolescents' privacy seriously.

Participants Ages 13–17

Participants under age 18 may be required to have authorization or consent from a parent or legal guardian before enrollment, payment, participation in certain community features, or other activities, depending on the program and applicable law.

CHASS Inc. may establish additional youth-safety and consent procedures for schools, community organizations, sponsored participants, or institutional programs.

Participants Ages 18–19

Participants ages 18 and 19 are generally legal adults in the U.S. and may consent for themselves as well as enroll to participate in the VIP transformations for young people.

In summary, the following is a schematic representation of this VIP information structure:

5Community Participation and Information You Share

Some VIP experiences may include access to an online community, group discussion, facilitated session, or peer-learning environment.

Participants should remember that information they voluntarily share with other participants may be seen by members of that VIP transformation community.

Please do not post:

• confidential personal information;
• financial information;
• passwords;
• Social Security numbers;
• private medical records;
• identifying information about children or other persons that you are not authorized to disclose; or
• other information you would not want shared with members of the community.

CHASS Inc. may moderate, restrict, or remove content that violates program standards, threatens safety, infringes rights, or disrupts the learning community.

6When We May Share Information

CHASS Inc. does not sell personal information.

We may share information when reasonably necessary with service providers and contractors that support VIP operations, including providers involved in:

• Kajabi hosting and course delivery;
• payment processing;
• email communications;
• analytics;
• website hosting;
• virtual meetings;
• technical support;
• data storage;
• evaluation or consulting services; and
• other operational functions.

These providers may access information only as needed to perform VIP related services for CHASS Inc. and are expected to protect information consistent with their contractual and legal obligations.

We may also disclose information:

• when you direct or authorize us to do so;
• to comply with law, court order, subpoena, or legal process;
• to protect the rights, safety, or property of CHASS Inc., participants, or others;
• to investigate fraud, misuse, security incidents, or violations of program terms; or
• in connection with an organizational restructuring, transfer, merger, or similar lawful transaction, subject to appropriate protections.

7Sponsorship Information

Individuals and organizations may sponsor access to VIP experiences for eligible participants.

Unless expressly authorized or legally required, CHASS Inc. will not disclose a sponsored participant's private learning, evaluation, or personal information to a sponsor merely because that sponsor funded access.

Sponsors may receive aggregated information about the impact of sponsorship activities when appropriate.

Sponsors may receive from CHASS Inc., a 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization in the United States of America, an official receipt acknowledging their donations to sponsor VIP, which may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law and donors should consult advisers.

CHASS Inc. will administer eligibility and participant enrollment consistent with applicable program requirements.

8Referral and Affiliate Tracking

Authorized VIP Referral Partners may receive unique referral links or codes.

When a participant uses one of these links or codes, CHASS Inc. and Kajabi may record referral-attribution information so CHASS Inc. can:

• identify the referring partner;
• verify qualified enrollments;
• calculate commissions;
• prevent duplicate or fraudulent referrals; and
• evaluate the effectiveness of referral activities.

Referral Partners do not receive access to private participant learning, workbook, evaluation, or community information solely because they referred a participant.

9Cookies and Similar Technologies

VIP and its technology providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• keep users logged in;
• remember preferences;
• understand website usage;
• track referral attribution;
• operate shopping and enrollment functions;
• improve website performance;
• maintain security; and
• support analytics.

Your browser may allow you to limit or block cookies. Some site or Kajabi functions may not operate properly if key cookies are disabled.
