HERE AT SCHOOL FUN RUN, WE TAKE CHILD SAFETY SERIOUSLY.

For example, Cyber Security Experts recommend that parents DO NOT upload images of their children online. That’s exactly the advice we’ve followed, and as such, kids cannot upload any pictures to their School Fun Run profile. Instead, they have extra fun selecting from a range of awesome avatars. They can then customise their avatar to project their personalities online.

IN ADDITION TO THAT:

  • No last names are displayed online.

  • There is no search function, plus URL’s are private & non-guessable. The only way to view a student’s profile page is to have the link shared directly.

  • Following every SCHOOL FUN RUN, Student Profile Pages are disabled, which removes all information from the internet.

  • All PII data is deleted at the end of the year that follows your event.

  • Private messages cannot be sent to student profiles. Donors can leave a message of encouragement, however it is all displayed publicly, removing any anonymity.

  • No profile pictures, the kids get to create avatars instead!

  • No Event dates are shown to the public

JustGiving - It’s also no mistake that we’re partnered with a world-leading provider of online fundraising in JustGiving. It means people from all over the world can now support your school. It’s great to know that JustGiving is Tier 1 PCI compliant, which means the storage of donor and user information is the highest standard in the world.
