Privacy Policy
Effective November 1, 2026
SchoolJar LLC (“SchoolJar,” “we,” “us”) makes the SchoolJar app and website. SchoolJar rounds up a parent’s everyday purchases and sends the spare change to the school the parent chooses. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who SchoolJar is for
SchoolJar accounts are for parents and guardians who are adults. The app is not meant for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Information we collect
- Account details: your name, phone number or email address, and the school you choose to support.
- Bank connection data: when you link a bank account, we use Plaid Inc. to connect to it. Plaid shares account details and purchase information with us, such as the account name, the last four digits of the account number, and transaction amounts, dates and merchant names. We never see or store your bank username or password.
- Giving details: your round-up settings, monthly limit, round-up history and the amounts collected for your school.
- Device and usage information: basic information such as app version, device type and error reports, used to keep the app working.
We do not collect your child’s name, birthdate, grade, photos or school records.
How we use your information
- To calculate round-ups from your purchases and apply your monthly limit.
- To collect your round-ups and send them to the school or school organization you chose.
- To show you your giving history, send summaries and receipts, and respond to support requests.
- To keep SchoolJar secure, prevent fraud and meet legal requirements.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:
- With service providers that help run SchoolJar, such as Plaid for bank connections, a payments provider for moving funds, and hosting providers. They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
- With your chosen school, which receives total amounts raised. Schools do not see which parent gave what.
- When required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of SchoolJar, our users or others.
Plaid’s handling of your data is described in the Plaid End User Privacy Policy.
Your choices
- You can pause round-ups, change your monthly limit or change your school at any time in the app.
- You can disconnect your bank account or close your account at any time.
- You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information by emailing info@schooljar.org. California residents may have additional rights under California law, and we will honor those requests.
How long we keep information
We keep your information while your account is open and as long as needed to provide receipts, meet legal and tax record requirements, and resolve disputes. After that, we delete it or remove details that identify you.
Security
We use encryption in transit, access controls and trusted providers to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please contact us right away if you believe your account has been compromised.
Changes to this policy
If we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, for important changes, let you know in the app or by email.
