Depending on how you interact with Anchor, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, school or workplace, age or grade, mailing or payment information, mentoring and case information, timesheets, references, application answers, and an applicant photograph. We also keep ordinary technical and security records needed to operate the website.

Information is available only to authorized Anchor staff and service providers who need it for these purposes. Mentors and staff using the portal receive access appropriate to their role. We do not sell personal information.
Children and family information
Anchor handles information about mentees and families with particular care. Parents or guardians may contact us to ask about, correct, or request deletion of information associated with their child, subject to records Anchor is required or reasonably needs to retain.
Storage, security, and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal information. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure. We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for program operations, safety, recordkeeping, and legal obligations, and then delete or de-identify it when appropriate.
