Effective Date: April 3, 2026
MindGarden Learning (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a homeschool enrichment drop-off program and parent–child co-op at Jungle Fun Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information from families who participate in our programs.
Information We Collect
We collect information that families voluntarily provide to us, including:
- Contact information: Parent/caregiver names, email addresses, phone numbers, and emergency contacts
- Child information: Names, birthdates, health and allergy information, developmental considerations, and temperament descriptions
- Family context: Responses to our registration questionnaires about your child’s learning style, emotional needs, family hopes, and communication preferences
- Payment information: Billing details processed through our secure payment provider (Stripe). We do not store credit card numbers on our website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely for the purpose of supporting your family within MindGarden Learning. Specifically, we use it to:
- Get to know your child and family so we can provide thoughtful, relationship-based care
- Ensure the health and safety of children in our programs
- Communicate with families about program updates, schedules, and their child’s experience
- Process tuition payments and manage enrollment
- Improve our programs and respond to family needs
Registration Form Data
Our registration questionnaires collect detailed information about your child and family to help us build meaningful relationships and provide appropriate support. This information is read carefully by our team and held with care. Questionnaire responses are stored securely on our website and are accessible only to authorized MindGarden Learning staff.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party services to operate our website and process payments (such as WordPress hosting and Stripe). These providers access only the information necessary to perform their services and are obligated to protect it.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a child, comply with a legal obligation, or respond to a government request.
- Emergency situations: Health and emergency contact information may be shared with medical personnel or emergency responders if a child requires immediate care.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our website uses SSL encryption, and access to family information is restricted to authorized staff members. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain family information for as long as your child is enrolled in our programs, plus a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes. If you would like your information deleted, please contact us and we will accommodate your request within a reasonable timeframe.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors use our site. These may include functional cookies necessary for the website to operate and analytics cookies that help us understand site traffic. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. All information about children enrolled in our programs is provided by their parents or legal guardians through our registration process.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about your family
- Request corrections to inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to any legal retention requirements)
- Opt out of non-essential communications at any time
