Homegrown Builders privacy notice
Keep family information out of the build whenever possible.
Homegrown Builders collects only the information needed to deliver a course, respond to a family, or plan a local program—and keeps student information private by default.
Who is responsible for the account?
A parent or legal guardian is the purchasing account holder and manages access for a teen participant.
What does the Savannah AI Build Club registration form collect?
A parent or guardian may share their name, email, optional phone number and ZIP code, plus a student's first name or nickname, grade, school setting, experience, interests, availability, and practical participation needs. The form does not ask for a student's email or phone number, street address, exact birth date, school name, medical history, or payment information.
How is Build Club registration information used?
Bud uses it to reserve a place for the student, plan and run the September 25 kickoff, understand interest in future meetings, and contact the parent or guardian about the club. Email permission and optional text-message permission are recorded separately. Families can unsubscribe from email or text updates at any time.
What recording choices are included in Build Club registration?
A parent or guardian must choose whether their student should be kept out of intentionally published content, may appear only in non-identifying build footage, or may appear recognizably and participate in a short interview. Media permission is not required to attend. Homegrown Builders does not intentionally publish student last names, private account information, or private chats.
How may approved photos, video, audio, and projects be used?
Only material allowed by the parent or guardian’s selected permission may be edited and used in Homegrown Builders educational or promotional content, including its website, email, and social channels. Permission is unpaid. A parent or guardian may change the choice before the meeting or request that future use stop by emailing Bud; material already shared may not always be retrievable. Permission does not allow sale of a student’s personal information or AI-generated imitation of their face or voice.
Who may be registered for the kickoff?
The form is for a parent, guardian, or authorized adult to register a student who will have already turned 13 and will not yet be 19 on September 25. Please contact Bud directly before sharing information about a younger child.
What information should not go into AI tools?
Do not enter passwords, payment information, precise location, private family information, medical details, school records, or any identifying information that is not necessary for the project.
What project information may be saved?
Families may choose to save project files, screenshots, reflections, and portfolio entries. When a household sends the private First Build checkpoint, Bud may review the build, learn what students are experiencing, improve the course, and contact the household about that submission when useful. Public sharing requires separate parent or household permission; sending a checkpoint does not publish a student’s words, image, or project.
Will Homegrown Builders sell student data?
No. Homegrown Builders does not sell student or family information. Information may be handled by the service providers needed to operate the website, process a purchase, deliver email, or host a course; those providers maintain their own privacy practices.
Who can see registration responses, and how long are they kept?
Build Club responses are stored privately in WordPress and are available only to Bud and authorized website operators. They are kept while the club is being planned or operated, then removed when they are no longer needed. A parent or guardian may ask to review, correct, or delete a response at any time.
Who do I contact?
Email bud@budjohnson.com with a parent or guardian's question or a request to review, correct, or delete information.
