Privacy Policy

# Parent Corridor Privacy Policy Draft v1. Effective date: pending review. Version: privacy-v1-20260707-draft. Parent Corridor is a private, invite-only network where verified families help each other with trips and favors between home and a college campus. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. It covers the current pilot. If you are a California resident, it also describes your rights under the CCPA and CPRA. ## 1. What we collect From the parent who sets up the family: - Name, email address, and phone number. - Date of birth, used to confirm you are an adult (18 or older). - Your home area (city and ZIP) and, when you post or request a trip, the origin and destination you enter. Addresses may be resolved to approximate coordinates so trips can be matched by route. About the student: - The student's university email address. We use it once, to confirm that your family belongs to your corridor's school. We do not use it to market to the student or to contact them about anything else. From your activity in the community: - Your family and circle membership, any kins you join, the dates you park, the trips you post, request, accept, and complete, and the karma you give and receive. Karma is a non-monetary signal of favors exchanged. It is never money, never for sale, and never convertible to money. - Reviews you write or receive after a completed trip. Technical data: - Minimal sign-in and security records needed to operate the service. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. ## 2. Why we use it - To verify that each family is a real parent at your corridor's school. - To match trips within your circle and let families coordinate a ride or favor. - To keep the community safe (for example, emergency and incident handling). - To operate your membership and reach you about your corridor. ## 3. Who can see it Within your circle, other verified families see a limited, dignified view of your family: your family's display name, the primary adult's first name and last initial, your circle, how long your family has been in the circle, the dates your family has parked, and a count of favors your family has given. We do not show your full street address, your phone number, your date of birth, or your student's email to other members. When you post a trip, the families who can see it (your circle, or the narrower scope you choose) see its origin and destination areas and its timing, so they can decide whether to ask for a ride. A trip counterparty sees the contact details needed to coordinate only after a match is confirmed. Our team can see more of your information when we help you with support or handle a safety matter. Internal activity logs store hashed identifiers, never your name or email. ## 4. Who we share it with We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We rely on a small number of service providers to run the service, such as email delivery and hosting. They process data on our behalf under their own terms and only as needed to provide their service. The current pilot verifies families through the student email step. If we later enable identity, enrollment, or driving-record checks, we will use verification vendors for those checks and will update this policy before they are used. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the safety of a member or the public. ## 5. How long we keep it We keep your coordination records while your membership is active. During the pilot, internal activity logs are retained for operations and safety review. We are working toward a retention schedule of about 180 days for standard activity and 365 days for safety-related records, after which they will be purged. Karma and reviews tied to a completed trip may be kept in a de-identified form so the community's favor history stays intact. ## 6. Your choices and rights If you are a California resident, you may ask us to: - tell you what personal information we hold about you and why, - give you a copy of it, - correct it, - delete it, and - close your family's account. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Some records tied to a completed trip may be retained in de-identified form for community integrity, and we may keep what the law requires us to keep. To make a request, contact us (section 8). We will confirm your identity before acting on a request. ## 7. Children Parent Corridor is for adults. Parents create and run the account. Students are adults (18 or older); the only student information we collect is the university email used to verify the family. ## 8. Contact To ask a question about this policy or to make a privacy request, write to chandra@ParentCorridor.com or use the contact form at ParentCorridor.com/contact. ## 9. Changes to this policy We will post any updates on this page. For a material change, we will ask you to review and re-accept before your next trip.
