At Semillas Preschool ("Semillas," "we," "us," or "our"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website, semillaspreschool.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, when we may share it, and the choices available to you.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website and online communications related to the website.

It does not necessarily apply to information collected through separate enrollment packets, admissions forms, health forms, emergency contact records, classroom records, or other offline documentation, which may be governed by separate notices, authorizations, or legal requirements.

• Maintain website security and prevent misuse
• Comply with legal, regulatory, licensing, or operational obligations

4. Children’s Privacy

Semillas Preschool serves families with young children; however, our website is intended to communicate primarily with parents, guardians, and adult visitors.

We request that parents or legal guardians, not children, submit information through our forms. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children through the public website unless permitted by law and supported by appropriate parental authorization where required.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information directly through our website without appropriate parental involvement, please contact us so we can review and, when appropriate, delete the information.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support site functionality, remember preferences, measure traffic, improve performance, and understand how visitors use the site.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share personal information only as reasonably necessary for legitimate business, legal, or operational purposes, including:

• With website hosting, form, email, IT, analytics, or technical service providers that support our operations
• With professional advisors, such as legal, accounting, or compliance consultants
• When required by law, court order, subpoena, licensing authority, or governmental request
• To protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Semillas Preschool, our families, our staff, or others
• In connection with a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset transfer, to the extent permitted by law

7. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms, including mapping tools, social media platforms, or other external services. Once you leave our website or interact with a third-party feature, that third party’s privacy practices may apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or service you use.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to your request
• Maintain business and communication records
• Comply with legal, tax, regulatory, licensing, safety, or recordkeeping obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce our policies

When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it as appropriate.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, online transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have the right to request that we:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information
• Provide access to certain personal information
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Delete certain personal information
• Provide a copy of certain information you previously submitted, where applicable
• Limit or object to certain processing, where required by law

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

11. No Guarantee of Enrollment

Submitting a form through our website does not create an enrollment contract or legal obligation on the part of Semillas Preschool.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, legal obligations, or privacy practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
