Privacy Policy

The short version

• We collect what we need to run the program: your contact details, your application, your payments (handled by Stripe) and what you share in the community.
• We never sell your information, and we never share your application answers.
• Young men 13 to 17 are enrolled by a parent or guardian, who consents for them. We do not enroll children under 13.
• Want a copy of your information, or want it corrected or deleted? Email info@blackboys2men.com. We respond within 30 days.

1. Who we are

Black Boys 2 Men, LLC is a Georgia limited liability company (“Black Boys 2 Men,” “we,” “us”). This policy covers everything we run: our website (blackboys2men.com), BB2M+ (our video library at blackboys2men.com/plus, launching soon), our application and checkout pages (app.blackboys2men.com), our private online community, our live sessions and gatherings, and the emails and texts we send.

Questions about privacy go to info@blackboys2men.com. A real person on our team reads every message.

2. Who we serve, and children’s privacy

Our programs are for mothers (and other parents and guardians) and for young men 13 and older.

• Sons aged 13 to 17. The parent or guardian who buys the membership gives consent on his behalf when setting him up, and can review or delete his information at any time (see Your rights).
• Members 18 and older consent for themselves. If a parent set you up, you can manage your own account and your own information directly with us.
• Children under 13. We do not knowingly enroll children under 13 or create accounts for them. If you apply for a son who is under 13, we tell you he is not eligible yet. If we learn we have collected information directly from a child under 13, we delete it. If you think that has happened, email info@blackboys2men.com.

3. What we collect

We only collect what we need to run the program. Depending on what you use, that means:

When you sign in

• Your email address. We don’t keep a password for you: you sign in with Google or with a one-time link we email you.
• If you choose Google, your name and email address as Google shares them with us.

When you join the Mothers Circle for free

• Your name and email address.
• That you confirmed you are a mother raising a son and agreed to our community guidelines, and when.

When you apply

• Your name, email address and mobile number.
• Your son’s name and age.
• Your written answers about your son and your family.
• The date and time you agreed to our consent statement.
• Whether you ticked the optional box to get text messages, and when.

When you pay

• Your name, email and billing details. Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• What you bought and when (for example, which membership, renewal dates and payment status).

When you set up your son

• His name, age and email address, and his mobile number if he has his own phone.
• The date and time you gave consent for him, and whether (and when) you ticked the optional box for us to text him.

In the community

• Your community profile, and the posts, comments and messages you share there.
• Which events and sessions you sign up for.

On BB2M+ (when it launches)

• Your account email and password (stored in scrambled, hashed form by our sign-in provider; we can’t read it).
• Up to three viewing profiles, with the names you give them.
• What you’ve watched, how far you got, your “My List” and any courses you’ve bought.

Newsletter and “notify me” sign-ups

• Your email address, and your name and who you are (for example, a mother or a mentor) if you tell us.

Messages between us

• The emails and texts we send you and your replies, and anything you tell us when you contact us.

Live sessions

• Our live sessions run inside our private community platform. Monday sessions may be recorded for the founder’s internal use only, to plan future sessions, and are kept only as long as needed for that, then deleted. Recordings are never shared or published.

Automatically, when you visit

• Basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. We use it to keep our services secure (for example, to stop spam and repeated sign-in attempts) and to fix problems.
• On our app pages (app.blackboys2men.com), Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights count page views and measure how fast pages load. Our main website and BB2M+ do not use them.
• Sign-in cookies that keep you signed in to our app and to BB2M+. BB2M+ also remembers your chosen profile, progress and My List in your browser.
• We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels, and we do not sell or share your information for advertising.

4. How we use it

• To review your application, tell you whether your son qualifies, and make your scholarship offer if he does.
• To take payments, run your membership and give you and your son access to what you paid for.
• To run the community, live sessions and gatherings.
• To send you receipts, account messages and program reminders by email and text.
• To answer your questions and requests.
• To keep our members, especially young people, safe, and to protect our services from misuse.
• To understand what is working and improve the program.
• To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

No automated analysis. A person on our team reads your application. We do not use artificial intelligence tools to read, score or analyze your application, your son, or what you share with us.

5. Who we share it with

• We never sell your personal information.
• We never share your application answers outside our team. They are stored by our database provider and read only by Black Boys 2 Men.
• Service providers. We use the companies listed below to run our services. They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
• Safety and the law. We may share information when the law requires it, or when we believe someone is in danger, including reporting suspected abuse or neglect of a young person to the proper authorities.
• If the business changes hands. If Black Boys 2 Men is merged or sold, your information may move to the new owner, who must keep honoring this policy.

6. The companies that help us

The outside companies that handle personal information for us, and why:

Stripe

Payments and billing, including the “Manage membership” page where you update your card or cancel. Stripe holds your card details; we never see or store your full card number.

Supabase

Our database and sign-in service: member sign-in (Google or an email link), applications and memberships in our app, and BB2M+ accounts, profiles and watch progress.

Google (sign-in)

Only if you choose “Continue with Google”: Google confirms your email address to us and shares your name. We never receive your Google password.

Vercel

Hosts our website and app. On our app pages it also provides Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights: page-view counts and page-speed measurements.

Resend

Sends our emails (receipts, welcome notes, reminders, sign-in links and password resets).

GoHighLevel (LeadConnector)

Our contact list and text messaging. For a mother: your contact details (name, email, phone), your application status, and your offer link and deadline. For a son: his name, age and email, and his mobile number only with texting consent. We never send it your written application answers.

Twilio

Delivers our text messages to your phone.

Circle (community platform)

Runs our private online community: your community profile, posts, comments, messages and event sign-ups live there. When you sign in to the community through us, we pass it your name and email address so you arrive signed in. Our live sessions run inside it too (recordings are kept by the founder for internal use only).

Google Workspace

Our email at info@blackboys2men.com: the messages you send us and our replies, including newsletter sign-ups and data requests.

Upstash (Redis)

Short-lived data our app uses to stop abuse and stay fast, such as counting requests from an IP address.

YouTube and Vimeo

Will play some BB2M+ videos once it launches. When you press play on one of these, that company receives your device’s technical information (such as your IP address) under its own privacy policy. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) player.

Sentry

Error monitoring for our app. When something breaks, it records technical details about the error (the page, browser and what went wrong) so we can fix it.

If we add or replace one of these companies, we will update this list.

7. Texts and emails

Text messages

• We only text you (or your son) with your consent. For new applicants, that’s the separate texting box on the application, or next to a son’s number at son setup. That box is never ticked for you, and texting is never a condition of applying, joining or buying anything.
• What we text: session reminders and updates about your application, your son’s setup and your account.
• How often: it varies, usually about 4 to 12 messages a month.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving them. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at info@blackboys2men.com or 470-567-4465.
• Replying STOP ends texts to that number; you can also email us to stop them. Stopping texts never affects your membership.
• No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-message opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except the service providers listed above that deliver our texts for us.

Email

• We email receipts, account and sign-in messages, and program reminders.
• Reminder and catch-up emails include an unsubscribe link. You can unsubscribe from them at any time.
• While you are a member, we still send emails you need to use your membership, such as receipts, payment problems, sign-in links and your son’s invitation.

8. How long we keep it

We keep your information while you are a member or have an open application, and afterwards only as long as we need it for the reasons in this policy. For example, we must keep payment records for tax and accounting. When we no longer need information, we delete it or remove what identifies you.

You can ask us to delete your information sooner (see Your rights).

9. How we protect it

Our services use encrypted connections (HTTPS), and only the Black Boys 2 Men team members who need your information can see it. Our providers use industry-standard security. No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.

10. Your rights and requests

You can ask us to:

• See the information we hold about you (access).
• Get a copy of it (export).
• Fix anything that’s wrong (correction).
• Delete it (deletion).

Email info@blackboys2men.com from the address we have on file. We respond within 30 days. To protect you, we may need to confirm the request came from you before we act on it.

Parents and guardians can review or delete the information of a son under 18 the same way. Members 18 and older can make requests for themselves.

If you ask us to delete your information, we also ask the companies listed above to delete it where they hold it. We may keep what the law requires (such as payment records) and a short note that we carried out your request. If you unsubscribe from emails, we keep your email address on a do-not-email list so we can honor that choice.

Depending on where you live, you may have other privacy rights under state law. Ask us at the same address and we will honor them. We will never treat you differently for using your rights.

11. Changes to this policy

This version takes effect on November 1, 2026. If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If the change is material (for example, we start collecting a new kind of information or using a new kind of service provider for it), we will email members before it takes effect.
