Children’s Privacy & Data Compliance
At Valiant Empowerment Inc., we are committed to protecting the privacy and safety of every child who participates in our programs. We operate in full compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Florida’s education and data privacy laws.
