Autism F.I.T.S. Academy Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 2, 2022

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy (“Autism F.I.T.S. Academy,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our students, families, prospective families, employees, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information obtained through our website, online forms, advertising campaigns, enrollment inquiries, and other digital communications.

By using our website or voluntarily submitting information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

​

2. Information About Children​

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy provides educational services to children, but our public website, advertising campaigns, and enrollment inquiry forms are intended for parents, legal guardians, and other adults, not for children to independently submit personal information.

We do not knowingly use our public website or advertising forms to solicit personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement or consent.

Parents and guardians may provide information about their child when requesting information, determining whether our programs may be appropriate, or beginning the enrollment process.

If we learn that personal information was submitted directly by a child through a public-facing form without appropriate parental or guardian involvement, we may take reasonable steps to delete or appropriately handle that information.

​

3. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enrollment inquiries

• Provide information about our schools, programs, and services

• Contact prospective families

• Schedule campus tours

• Determine which campus or program may be appropriate

• Facilitate enrollment and admissions

• Communicate with parents and guardians

• Provide requested educational or administrative services

• Maintain appropriate school and administrative records

• Improve our website and enrollment experience

• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns

• Protect the security and integrity of our systems

• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations
   

Submitting an inquiry form does not constitute enrollment and does not guarantee admission to Autism F.I.T.S. Academy.

​

4. Advertising and Lead Forms

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy may advertise through third-party platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and other digital services.

When you submit information through a lead-generation form on one of these platforms, the platform may initially collect the information and transmit it to Autism F.I.T.S. Academy.

We may use information submitted through these forms to:

• Respond to your inquiry

• Contact you regarding potential enrollment

• Provide information about our campuses and programs

• Schedule a tour

• Follow up regarding your interest in Autism F.I.T.S. Academy
   

The advertising platform may separately process information according to its own privacy policy and terms. Autism F.I.T.S. Academy does not control the independent data practices of those platforms.

 

5. Telephone Calls and Text Messages

If you provide a telephone number, we may use that number to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you regarding enrollment, tours, programs, or services you requested information about.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain appropriate consent before sending automated or marketing text messages.

Message and data rates may apply.

Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of enrollment or purchasing services from Autism F.I.T.S. Academy.

You may request that we stop sending marketing text messages by replying STOP or contacting us directly.

 

6. Cookies and Website Information

Our website and third-party service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, such as:

• IP address

• Browser type

• Device type

• Pages visited

• Referring website

• Approximate geographic location

• Date and time of visits

• Interaction with advertisements or website content
   

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate our website, understand website usage, improve our services, and evaluate advertising performance.

Where applicable, third-party advertising and analytics providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

 

7. How We Share Information

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy does not sell personal information submitted by families through enrollment inquiry forms.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Service providers that assist with website hosting, communications, enrollment systems, analytics, advertising, or other business operations

• Authorized Autism F.I.T.S. Academy personnel

• Professional advisers or service providers when necessary for legitimate school operations

• Government agencies, regulators, courts, or law enforcement when required by law

• Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Autism F.I.T.S. Academy, our students, families, employees, or others
   

Service providers are provided information only as reasonably necessary for the services they perform.

 

8. Student Records

Information collected after a student enrolls may become part of the student's educational or administrative record.

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy maintains student information in accordance with applicable laws, contractual obligations, school policies, and record-retention requirements.

This public Privacy Policy is not intended to replace any privacy notices, enrollment agreements, student-record policies, or other rights that may apply to enrolled students and their families.

 

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, electronic communication, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, families should avoid submitting highly sensitive medical, financial, identification, or educational documentation through general website inquiry forms unless specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate secure process.

 

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, operate our schools, maintain appropriate records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Information associated with enrolled students may be retained according to separate student-record retention requirements.

 

11. Your Choices

You may contact Autism F.I.T.S. Academy to:

• Update or correct information you previously provided

• Request that we stop sending marketing communications

• Ask questions about how information you submitted is being used

• Request deletion of certain information where appropriate and legally permissible
   

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, educational, financial, safety, or legitimate administrative purposes.

 

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website or advertisements may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Autism F.I.T.S. Academy is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of independently operated third-party websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of those services.

 

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal requirements.

When material changes are made, the updated policy will be posted with a revised effective date.
