Privacy Policy — Little Oaks Learning Academy

Last updated: July 2025

1. Who We Are

Little Oaks Learning Academy ("we," "us," or "our") is a licensed childcare and early learning center located at 1155 NJ-72 W, Unit 3, Manahawkin, NJ 08050. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and handle information when you visit littleoakslearningacademy.com or use the features on our website.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and limited information collected automatically when you visit our site.

Information you provide:

Tour bookings — When you schedule a tour through our Google Calendar booking link, Google collects your name, email address, and any details you provide in the booking form (such as your child's age). This information is received by us through Google Calendar.
Enrollment inquiries — When you submit an enrollment inquiry or complete a form through Brightwheel, we receive your name, contact information, and details about your child.
Direct communications — If you email or call us, we retain the information you share in that communication.

Information collected automatically:

Website analytics — We use Vercel Web Analytics, which collects anonymous, aggregated data about page visits (such as which pages are viewed and approximate geographic region). This data does not identify you personally and does not use cookies.
Google Fonts — Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may log your IP address as part of that request. We do not control or receive this data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes:

To confirm and conduct scheduled tours
To process enrollment inquiries and communicate about availability
To respond to questions, requests, or messages you send us
To understand general website usage patterns so we can improve our site

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or marketing to unrelated third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website relies on the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

Google Calendar / Google Workspace — handles tour appointment scheduling. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Brightwheel — handles enrollment forms and family communications. See Brightwheel's Privacy Policy.
Vercel — hosts our website and provides anonymous analytics. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts — serves typefaces used on the site. See Google's Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

5. Children's Privacy

Our website is directed at parents and guardians, not at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Information about enrolled children (such as name and age) is provided to us by a parent or guardian and is used solely for the purpose of childcare services.

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

6. Data Retention

We retain contact and enrollment inquiry information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Tour booking records are managed through Google Calendar and subject to Google's retention practices.

7. Your Rights

You may contact us at any time to:

Ask what personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information (where we are the data controller)

For information held by Google or Brightwheel, please contact those services directly using the links in Section 4.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we receive. Our website is served over HTTPS. Tour bookings and enrollment forms are handled by Google and Brightwheel respectively, both of which maintain their own security standards. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
