1) Scope

This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, inquire about programs, enroll in classes/workshops, or participate in hands-on mentoring and events.

2) Information We Collect

  • Identifiers & contact: name, email, phone, address.

  • Application & education data: program interests, prior experience, portfolio links, attendance, assessments, certification status.

  • Guardian/minor data (if applicable): parent/guardian name and contact, emergency contacts, medical/allergy notes provided to us, signed consent forms.

  • Financial/transactional: tuition/fee records (payment details are processed by third-party providers; we do not store full card numbers).

  • Media (optional): photos/video captured at classes and events with appropriate releases.

  • Technical: IP address, device/browser info, pages viewed, and cookies—see our Cookie Policy.

3) Sources

We collect data directly from you (forms, email, phone), from your use of our site (cookies/analytics), and—if you consent—from partners (e.g., internship hosts, referrers) to confirm placement or outcomes.

4) How We Use Information

  • Provide and improve programs, workshops, mentoring, and student support.

  • Process applications, enrollment, scheduling, and certification.

  • Communicate updates, class changes, safety notices, and service announcements.

  • Manage internships/placements and verify job outcomes (where applicable).

  • Operate our website, analytics, fraud prevention, and security.

  • Use approved photos/video for educational and promotional purposes (only with signed Media Release).

5) Legal Bases / Lawful Grounds

We process information to perform a service you request, comply with law, protect safety and security, and—where required—based on your consent (e.g., media releases, certain marketing).

6) Sharing & Service Providers

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share limited data with trusted providers who help us operate (e.g., payment processors, scheduling/CRM, email/SMS, analytics, background-check providers for staff/mentors) under contracts that require confidentiality and security. We may disclose information to comply with law or protect rights, safety, and property.

7) Minors & Youth Protection

For participants under 18, we require appropriate parental/guardian consent where applicable. We follow youth-safety procedures, including staff/mentor background checks as required by Pennsylvania law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

8) Your Choices & Rights

  • Access/Update: request a copy or correction of your information.

  • Delete: request deletion where applicable (subject to legal/operational needs, e.g., safety or financial recordkeeping).

  • Marketing: opt out of non-essential marketing at any time.

  • Cookies: manage preferences in our Cookie Policy or your browser settings.
    To exercise rights, contact [email protected].

9) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for program delivery, safety, recordkeeping, and legal compliance (e.g., tax and audit). When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information (encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege practices). No method is 100% secure; please contact us immediately if you believe your account or data has been compromised.

11) International Visitors

Our operations are U.S.-based. If you access our services from outside the U.S., your data may be processed in the U.S., where laws may differ from those in your country.

12) Third-Party Links & Tools

Our site may link to or embed third-party services (e.g., payment, scheduling, video hosting, social media). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

13) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be posted on this page.
