Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect the information of the families and students we serve.
Placeholder policy — not legal advice. This is a starting template. Newton STEAM Academy should review and customize it with a qualified attorney, and fill in the bracketed business details, before relying on it. Last updated: June 2026.
1. Information We Collect
When you contact us or enroll a student, we may collect: the parent or guardian’s name, email address, and phone number; the student’s first name and grade level; the program of interest; and any details you choose to include in your message.
We only collect the information needed to respond to your inquiry, recommend an appropriate program, and administer enrollment.
2. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Our website and contact form are directed to parents and guardians, not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. Information about a student (such as first name and grade) should only be submitted by a parent or legal guardian who is 18 or older.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information without parental consent, please contact us at info@newtonsteam.com and we will delete it promptly.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to inquiries, schedule trial classes and consultations, recommend programs, and communicate about enrollment and scheduling.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties except as needed to operate our program (for example, scheduling or communication tools) or as required by law.
4. Data Retention & Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. [Describe specific tools, hosting, and security practices once finalized.]
5. Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you or your student by emailing info@newtonsteam.com.
