Who we are
Lola Louis' Creative & Performing Arts ("CAPAS," "we," "us," or "our") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the Bronx, New York. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through our website and in the course of our fundraising, enrollment, and community programs.
Information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us, or that is needed to run our programs:
- Contact details you submit through our forms — such as your first name, email address, and any message you send.
- Donation information processed by our payment provider (for example, name, billing details, and gift amount). We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Enrollment and waitlist details you provide when signing up a student for future classes.
- Basic, non-identifying usage data (such as pages visited) that helps us improve the site.
How we use your information
- To process donations and send tax-deductible receipts.
- To respond to your questions and follow up on partnership, teaching, or board inquiries.
- To hold a student’s place on the reopening waitlist and notify you when classes begin.
- To send updates or our newsletter — only when you have asked to receive them.
What we will never do
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ever.
- We do not require families to prove income beyond honor-system self-attestation.
- We do not share your details with third parties except the trusted service providers (such as our payment processor and email tools) that help us operate, and only as needed.
Payments
Donations are handled by a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. Their handling of your payment information is governed by their own privacy and security policies.
Cookies
Our site uses only essential cookies needed for it to function and, where applicable, privacy-respecting analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email. You may also ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us.
Children’s privacy
Enrollment information for minors is submitted by a parent or guardian. We collect only what is necessary to serve the student and never market directly to children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above.
