Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Beyond Young Academy ("we," "us," or "BY Academy") is committed to protecting your family's privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
When you enroll your child or contact us, we collect:
- Parent / guardian contact information — name, email address, phone number, and home address.
- Child information — child's name, grade level, date of birth (optional), school, and any relevant health or allergy notes you choose to share.
- Payment information — billing name and address. Payment card or bank account details are handled directly by Stripe and are never stored on our servers.
- Communications — messages you send us through our contact form, email, or phone.
- Photo / video consent — your opt-in (or opt-out) preference for images taken during BY Academy programs.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process enrollment and payment for classes, camps, and programs.
- Communicate with you about schedules, billing, updates, and events.
- Maintain a safe learning environment (health / allergy information).
- Send occasional program announcements or newsletters (you may opt out at any time).
- Comply with our legal obligations.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
We share your information only as necessary to operate our programs:
- Stripe (payment processing) — subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Email providers — to send confirmations and program communications.
- As required by law or to protect the safety of our students, staff, or community.
Advertising and Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics and Google Ads, and the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to count visits, see which of our ads lead families to book a tryout or enroll, and show our ads to people who may be interested. They receive information such as the pages you view and your browser and device details. We do not send them your child's name or your payment card details. You can limit this through your browser's cookie settings, Google's Ads Settings, or Meta's ad preferences.
Data Retention
We retain enrollment and payment records for as long as necessary to fulfill legal and operational obligations (typically 7 years for financial records). You may request deletion of your contact and child records at any time; see "Your Rights" below.
Photo and Video
We occasionally photograph or film students during classes and events for use in our marketing materials, social media, and website. You may opt in or out of this at enrollment. Your preference is respected and may be changed at any time by contacting us.
Children's Privacy
Our enrollment process is completed by a parent or guardian (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
Your Rights
You may contact us at any time to:
- Access the personal information we hold about your family.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your information (subject to our legal record-keeping obligations).
- Opt out of marketing communications.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at beyondyoungnj@gmail.com or call 973-283-5028.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Payment data is processed by Stripe using industry-standard encryption; we do not store card numbers or bank account details.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
