2. Strict Email & Text Communication Standards
In alignment with strict community organization frameworks, Code Kaboom Robotics Academy enforces a rigorous policy against spam and unsolicited messaging.
- No Unsolicited Communications: We do not engage in unsolicited email or text outreach. We do not send marketing messages to individuals who have not directly requested info or registered for our academy programs.
- Purpose-Driven Use: Email and SMS channels are strictly reserved for operational needs (e.g., class schedule adjustments, student progress reports, billing confirmations, and emergency weather closures).
- All OPT-IN requests include text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties under any circumstances.
- Compliance: We operate in full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, Google’s Email Sender Requirements, and standard digital safety rules.
3. Absolute Restriction on Data Sharing & Sales
Your trust is vital to us. Code Kaboom Robotics Academy does not sell, trade, rent, or lease personal information, phone numbers, or email lists to third parties for commercial or marketing use.
Information is only shared under the following limited conditions:
- With Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party subcontractors who provide vital infrastructure support—such as secure payment processors or our student information database software—under strict confidentiality agreements.
- For Legal Compliance: We reserve the right to disclose personal data if compelled by law, court order, or a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to defend our legal rights, prevent fraud, or protect the immediate physical safety of our students and staff.
4. Children’s Privacy Protection
As a youth robotics academy, we recognize the paramount importance of protecting children's digital footprints.
- Our website is intended to be used by parents, legal guardians, and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.
- It is our policy that visitors under 18 years of age should not submit data or create accounts on our platforms without the active involvement and consent of a parent or guardian.
- If you believe a minor has inadvertently provided us with personal info without consent, please notify us immediately at the contact address below, and we will take immediate steps to permanently delete it from our databases.
5. Data Security Protocols
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your family's records. This includes protected Google Workspace ecosystems, controlled internal access parameters, and encrypted payment pathways.
Please note, however, that no method of internet transmission or electronic data storage is 100% foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
