Privacy Policy
Legal Disclaimer
Last Updated: July 2025
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. S’ Learning Institute (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website and services.
Information We Collect
-
Personal Information: We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. This happens when you create an account, fill out a contact form, sign up for our email newsletter, or communicate with us. You may choose not to provide certain information, but doing so might limit your ability to use some features of our site. For example, if you inquire about our programs, we will ask for contact details so we can respond.
-
Children’s Information: Some of our services are available to children under 13 with a parent or guardian’s consent. In such cases, we may collect the child’s name and relevant details only after verifiable parental consent is obtained in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly allow a child under 13 to provide personal information without parent/guardian approval. (See Children’s Privacy below for more details.)
-
Payment Information: If you make a purchase (for example, paying for tutoring sessions or materials), payment details are collected by our third-party payment processor. We do not store your credit card or financial account numbers on our servers – this information is handled securely by Stripe, our payment provider.
-
Usage Data: When you use our website, we automatically collect some data about your device and how you use the site. This includes technical information like your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the dates/times of accesst. We gather this through cookies and similar tracking technologies (explained below) to help us understand user activity and improve our services. This usage data does not directly identify you, and it is generally aggregated for analytics purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
-
To Provide Services: We use your personal information to create and manage your user account, register you or your child for programs, and deliver the educational services you request. For example, we may use your name and email to enroll you in a course or schedule a tutoring session.
-
To Communicate with You: We use contact information (like email or phone number) to respond to inquiries, confirm registrations, send updates about your account or classes, and provide customer support. If you fill out a contact form or email us, we will use that information to address your request and follow up as needed.
-
To Send Newsletters and Updates: If you sign up for our email newsletter or mailing list, we will use your email address to send you Institute news, new program announcements, or educational resources. We only send marketing or promotional emails to those who have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the email or contacting us.
-
To Process Transactions: For any purchases or paid services (such as class fees or materials), we use the information provided to process the transaction and deliver the product or service. Your information will be used only for the specific purpose of fulfilling your order or request and not for any other purpose without your consent. (For instance, billing information is used to charge you for the class you signed up for and nothing else.)
-
To Improve Our Website and Services: We analyze usage data and feedback to improve the content, functionality, and user experience of our website and offerings. For example, understanding which pages are visited most or how users navigate our site helps us optimize our educational content and site design. We also may use your input (such as survey responses or feedback emails) to enhance our programs and customer service.
-
To Ensure Security and Prevent Fraud: We may use data (such as IP addresses or other logs) to keep our website, services, and users secure. This includes monitoring for suspicious activity, protecting against unauthorized access, and enforcing our Terms and Conditions.
-
To Comply with Legal Obligations: In certain cases, we may need to use or disclose your information to comply with laws and regulations – for example, to respond to a court order or legal process, or to enforce our agreements and policies. We only do so when necessary and as required by law.
We will not use your personal information for any purposes other than those described above without first obtaining your consent.
