Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 8, 2026

ABC Academy respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through our website.

This policy applies to information collected through the ABC Academy website, including our contact forms, tour request forms, enrollment-related forms, and career inquiry forms. It does not replace any separate enrollment documents, parent handbooks, child care agreements, or privacy notices provided directly by ABC Academy during enrollment.

Information We Collect

ABC Academy may collect information that you choose to submit through our website, including:

  • Parent or guardian name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Preferred location
  • Program of interest
  • Child’s first name
  • Child’s age or date of birth
  • Expected start date
  • Questions, comments, or message details
  • Voucher or subsidy questions
  • Transportation questions
  • Career inquiry or employment application information, if a careers form is available

We may also collect basic website usage information, such as pages visited, browser type, device type, referring website, and general interaction with our website. This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies.

How We Use Information

ABC Academy may use information submitted through our website to:

  • Respond to questions or messages
  • Follow up about child care programs
  • Schedule or confirm tours
  • Discuss enrollment options and availability
  • Provide information about locations, meals, transportation, vouchers, subsidies, and family benefits
  • Respond to career inquiries or job applications
  • Improve our website and communications
  • Maintain the safety, security, and proper operation of our website
  • Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, or licensing obligations

Child Information

ABC Academy’s website is intended for use by parents, guardians, and adults seeking information about child care services. Children should not submit personal information through our website.

Some forms may ask a parent or guardian to provide limited information about a child, such as a child’s first name, age, date of birth, program of interest, or expected start date. We use this information only to respond to the parent or guardian’s inquiry, discuss program fit, and support enrollment-related communication.

Enrollment Information

Submitting a form through the website does not complete enrollment. ABC Academy requires families to visit the center in person to begin enrollment. Parents and guardians are provided with enrollment packets and may be asked to provide additional documentation, such as physicals, immunization records, and lead test information.

Enrollment records may be subject to separate child care, licensing, health, safety, and recordkeeping requirements.

Careers Information

If ABC Academy offers a careers form, we may collect employment-related information such as your name, contact information, position of interest, work history, qualifications, availability, resume, or other details you choose to provide.

Career information is used to evaluate employment inquiries, communicate with applicants, and support hiring-related decisions. Submitting career information does not guarantee employment.

Sharing Information

ABC Academy does not sell personal information.

We may share information when necessary with:

  • ABC Academy staff or authorized representatives
  • Service providers that help operate our website, forms, email, hosting, analytics, or communications
  • Child care, enrollment, licensing, legal, or safety-related parties when required or appropriate
  • Government, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities when required by law
  • Other parties with your consent or direction

Service providers are expected to use information only as needed to provide services to ABC Academy.

Parent Communication App and Third-Party Services

ABC Academy may use a parent communication app or other third-party services to communicate with enrolled families. Those services may have their own privacy policies and terms. Families should review any privacy information provided when they are invited to use those services.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the ABC Academy website, not to information collected directly by third-party apps, platforms, or services outside of our website.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, improve performance, and support website functionality.

You can usually adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Data Security

ABC Academy takes reasonable steps to protect information submitted through our website. However, no website, form, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please do not submit highly sensitive information through a general website form unless specifically requested through an approved process.

Data Retention

ABC Academy keeps information for as long as needed to respond to inquiries, manage enrollment communication, evaluate career submissions, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, archive, or securely dispose of it according to applicable requirements and business practices.

Your Choices

You may contact ABC Academy to request that we update or correct contact information you previously provided through the website.

You may also request that we stop contacting you about an inquiry, unless further communication is required for legal, enrollment, safety, or administrative reasons.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may include links to third-party websites or services. ABC Academy is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external websites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

ABC Academy may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
