How we collect, use, and protect information.

1. Overview

Madrigal Childhood Foundation Center, Inc. respects the privacy of families, parents, caregivers, and children. We collect only the information needed to respond to messages, process contest submissions, review parent/legal guardian consent, and operate our educational and awareness activities.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily submit through this website, including:

• Parent or legal guardian name;
• Parent or legal guardian email address;
• Parent or legal guardian phone number;
• Child’s first name or stage name;
• Child’s age;
• Talent category and performance notes;
• Video share links submitted for contest review;
• Zelle contact information if needed for prize payment;
• Consent confirmations and contest eligibility confirmations;
• Any message, question, or information you choose to provide.

3. Children’s information

We do not knowingly ask children to submit information directly. Any contest submission involving a child must be submitted by the child’s parent or legal guardian.

For child safety, parents and legal guardians should avoid submitting or displaying a child’s last name, home address, school name, phone number, exact location, or other private identifying information in a video or form submission.

4. Contest submissions

For the Kids Are Amazing Talent Showcase or similar programs, parents/legal guardians may submit a video share link rather than uploading a video file directly to this website.

By submitting a contest entry, the parent/legal guardian may be asked to confirm that:

• They are the parent or legal guardian of the child shown in the video;
• The child is within the eligible age range;
• The video is original;
• The video has not been publicly posted before;
• The video does not include unsafe behavior or inappropriate content;
• Madrigal Childhood Foundation Center, Inc. may review, edit, publish, and share the submitted video or selected highlights for contest, educational, promotional, or awareness purposes.

5. How we use information

We may use submitted information to:

• Review and process contest entries;
• Contact parents or legal guardians about submissions;
• Confirm consent and eligibility;
• Publish selected videos or edited highlights with appropriate parent/legal guardian permission;
• Announce contest results;
• Pay an eligible prize to a parent or legal guardian;
• Respond to questions or messages;
• Maintain records related to website submissions and contest administration;
• Improve website content, family education, and awareness programs.

6. How information may be shared

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only as needed to operate the website, administer a contest, comply with legal obligations, or publish approved content.

Publicly shared contest content may include:

• The child’s first name or stage name;
• The child’s age;
• The talent category;
• The submitted video or edited highlights, if parent/legal guardian consent was provided.

We do not intentionally publish a child’s home address, school name, phone number, parent contact details, or exact private location.

7. Storage and security

Website form submissions may be delivered by email and/or saved in a server-side submission record, such as a CSV file. Video links may point to third-party services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, or similar platforms.

We use reasonable steps to protect submitted information, but no website, email system, hosting provider, or third-party service can guarantee complete security. Parents/legal guardians should avoid submitting unnecessary private information.

8. Requests, corrections, and removals

A parent or legal guardian may contact us to request correction, removal, or review of information submitted through this website. Contest video removal requests will be reviewed and handled as reasonably appropriate, subject to platform limitations and any applicable contest rules.

To request a correction or removal, contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy.

9. Third-party platforms

This website may link to or use third-party services, including YouTube, Google Drive, social media platforms, email providers, web hosting services, and payment services such as Zelle. Those services have their own privacy policies and terms.

If a video is shared on YouTube or another public platform, the platform’s own rules, analytics, moderation tools, and privacy practices may apply.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Effective Date: May 27, 2026
