Twenty, Inc., d/b/a Hello World (“Hello World”, “we”, “our” “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.
This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the helloworldnetwork.org website and domain names (the “Websites”) or utilize our mobile applications (the “Mobile Apps”) (the Websites and Mobile Apps may be collectively referred to as the “Services”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
This policy applies to information we collect:
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet and our Services. Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. If you are under the age of 13, do not use or provide any information on the Websites or Mobile Apps, or on or through any of its features/functionality, use any of the interactive or public comment features that may be available on the Websites or Mobile Apps, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, E-mail address or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn that we have collected or received personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have obtained any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at legal@gethello.org.
No one under age 18 may use the Services unsupervised or provide any personal information to, or on, the Websites or Mobile Apps without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you are under 18 years of age, do not use or provide any information on the Websites or Mobile Apps, or on or through any of its features/functionality, use any of the interactive or public comment features that may be available on the Websites or Mobile Apps, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, E-mail address or any screen name or user name you may use unless under the supervision of a parent or guardian. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without confirmation of parental consent where such parental consent is required, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have obtained any information from or about a child under 18, without parental or guardian consent where we require it, please contact us at legal@gethello.org.
Residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom ("UK") may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see Rights Applicable to European Economic Area and UK Residents for more information.
We require a parent or guardian to consent before a child under the age of 18 can create an account or use any of the Services offered by Hello World. During our registration process, we require you to confirm that you have a parent’s consent. If we need to collect any further information to verify parental consent, we will limit the personal information required (i.e., parent’s name and E-mail address) and only use this for the purposes of obtaining a parent’s permission for his/her child to participate in the particular Services, including challenges or to obtain a prize in connection with certain contests.
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Services to you, including information:
(all of the categories of information above are together referred to as “personal information”.)
We collect this information:
Information You Provide to Us
As part of the nature of our business, we use the information provided by you to extend the services we offer. The information we collect on or through our Services may include:
Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies
As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). For more information on how you can opt out of behavioral tracking on the Websites or Mobile Apps, see our Cookie Policy.
The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include personal information, but we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include browser cookies. For more information on cookies and other tracking technologies please see our Cookie Policy.
We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.
We will only collect, use and share your personal information where we are satisfied that we have a lawful basis to do this. We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:
In most cases, the provision of your personal information is not required by a statutory or contractual obligation. However, the provision of personal information will be necessary in order to enter into a contract with us or to receive our Services or because it is in our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others. Our legitimate interests are to:
The legitimate interests of others including Organizations are to meet their objectives to offer young people scholarships and other opportunities.
If we rely on our (or another person's) legitimate interests for using your personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or the other person's) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of the personal information. You can ask us for information on this balancing test by contacting us at legal@gethello.org.
In situations where the provision of your personal information is necessary, not providing your personal information may likely result in you not receiving the Services requested. Unless otherwise specified, not providing your personal information will not result in legal consequences to you.
We may also use your information to contact you about our own and third-parties’ services that may be of interest to you. We will ask for your consent to use your information in this way using a relevant tick box located on the form on which we collect your data (the registration form)/adjust your user preferences in your account profile. For more information, see Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information.
We may use your special categories of data (such as gender identity, health and wellbeing information) where you have provided your consent (which you may withdraw at any time after giving it, as described below).
If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at legal@gethello.org and we will stop doing so. However, if you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us to be able to provide our Services to you.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. We will retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
We will also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Services, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
Your information, including personal information may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to the United States and process it there.
We may also transfer your information to Organizations based in other countries.
We will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal information will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your personal information.
We are committed to protecting the security and integrity of personal information, and we use procedures and technology designed for this purpose. For example:
The main risk of our processing of your personal information is if it is lost, stolen or misused. This could lead to your personal information being in the hands of someone else who may use it fraudulently or make public, information that you would prefer to keep private. While we employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users, inside and outside Hello World, perfect security does not exist on the Internet. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the device you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect user usernames and passwords, please take appropriate measures to protect this information. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Services like message boards. Any other users of the Services may view the information you share in public areas. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.
We may employ third-party service providers and data processors to facilitate our Services, provide the Services on our behalf, perform services related to the Websites or Mobile Apps or assist us in analyzing how our Services are used. We may also work with third party partners to employ technologies, including the application of statistical modeling tools, which permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices.
These third parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:
We may also disclose your personal information:
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. As a rule, we will obtain your consent prior to sending promotional materials and will only contact you with promotional materials without our prior consent if permitted by law. If you no longer wish to receive promotional information from us, or if you do not want us to use your information to enhance your online experience, you may OPT OUT of receiving our promotional communications by simply following the Unsubscribe or Preference Center link at the bottom of our E-mails and updating your cookie settings. We will maintain your information in our “do not contact” list to ensure that we can honor your request. Please note that it may take up to 30 days to process your opt out request, during which time you may continue to receive communications from Hello World.
Residents of the EEA and UK may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see Rights Applicable to European Economic Area and UK Residents for more information.
Our Services may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information or the privacy policies or practices of these websites. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We provide these links solely for the convenience and information for the users of our Services. Hello World assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
You can review and change your Personal Information by logging into the Mobile Apps and visiting your account profile page.
You may also send us an E-mail at help@gethello.org to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your Personal Information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
If you delete your User Contributions from the Mobile Apps or Websites, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other Mobile Apps or Websites users. Proper access and use of information provided on the Mobile Apps and Websites, including User Contributions, is governed by our Terms of Use.
Residents of the EEA and UK may have additional Personal Information rights and choices. Please Rights Applicable to European Economic Area and UK Residents for more information.
In the unfortunate event we become aware of any unauthorized access or use of personal information stored by us as a result of actions taken by Hello World or any outside party, we will report this to the appropriate authorities, as required by law. If you become aware of any unauthorized use or access of your personal information as a result of our data practices, please notify us immediately using any of the methods of communication identified in this policy.
Residents of the EEA and UK may have further rights in addition to those mentioned above. This Privacy Policy reflects our compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applicable to the EEA and UK.
Right of Access
You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal information concerning you, or (for parents / guardians) the Services user, is being processed, and where that is the case, to request access to the personal information.

You have the right to obtain a copy of the personal information undergoing processing. For further copies requested by you, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.
Right to Rectify and Complete Personal Information

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal information concerning you in limited circumstances where:
We will pass your request onto other recipients of your personal information unless that is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You can ask us who the recipients are, using the contact details at the end of this policy.

Right to Data Portability

Right to Object
You have a right to object at any time to the processing of your personal information which has our legitimate interests as its lawful basis. If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms. The right to object does not exist, in particular, if the processing of your personal information is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract already concluded.
Right to Object to How We Use Your Personal Information for Direct Marketing Purposes
You can request that we change the manner in which we contact you for marketing purposes. You can request that we not transfer your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for the purposes of direct marketing or any other purposes.

If you have given us your consent for the processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to Obtain a Copy of Personal Information Safeguards for Transfer of Data Outside Your Jurisdiction
If you are a resident or citizen of the EEA or UK (as applicable), you can ask to obtain a copy of, or reference to, the safeguards under which your personal information is transferred outside the EEA or the UK (as applicable). We may redact data transfer agreements to protect commercial terms.
Right to Lodge a Complaint With Your Local Data Protection Authority
If you have concerns about how we process your personal information, you have a right, at any time, to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority (i.e. your place of habitual residence, place or work or place of alleged infringement).
We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issue with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time. If you have any questions or concerns, or wish to exercise your privacy rights, please E-mail legal@gethello.org.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We may also notify you of any updates via E-mail and/or a prominent notice on our Services, prior to the change becoming effective and update the “Last Modified Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable E-mail address for you, and for periodically visiting our Websites or Mobile Apps and this privacy policy to check for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
