Children's Online Privacy (COPPA)
Because the Service may be accessed by users under 16, we comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506) and the FTC's COPPA Rule (16 CFR Part 312), as finalized January 16, 2025, published April 22, 2025, and effective June 23, 2025 (compliance deadline April 22, 2026). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, including biometric identifiers and persistent identifiers used for behavioural advertising, without verifiable parental consent, and we obtain separate opt-in parental consent before using a child's information for targeted advertising. We retain children's personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected and maintain a written information-security program. Parents may review, request deletion of, or refuse further collection of their child's information by contacting info@raphahub.org.

You consent to receive communications from us in electronic form (including email and in-product notices). Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Sub-Processors and Third-Party Service Providers
We engage third-party providers ("sub-processors") to help operate the Service, including hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, and customer support. A current list is available on request. Sub-processors are bound by written contracts that require them to (i) process personal data only on our documented instructions; (ii) implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures; and (iii) assist us in responding to data-subject requests. Where required, we maintain a data processing agreement (DPA) compliant with Article 28 GDPR / UK GDPR.

The affected party will notify the other promptly and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
