Privacy Policy

Introduction

Blackmon Tutoring ("Blackmon Tutoring," "we," "us," or "our") provides in-person and online academic tutoring, test preparation, college consulting, child care, and camp programs. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you and your family.

By using this website or submitting information through a form on this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not submit information to us through the site.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways:

• Information you provide directly. When a parent or guardian fills out a form on this site, for example the "Find your child's tutoring plan" quiz, a free consultation request, or the general contact form, we collect the parent or student name, email address, phone number, student grade level, and the goal or subject of interest selected. Optional fields, like a note about a student's needs, are only collected if you choose to fill them in.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site automatically logs standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring page, through normal web server and hosting logs.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Our booking and inquiry forms are hosted through a third-party scheduling and customer relationship platform, which may set its own cookies to operate the embedded form and remember your form progress. See the Cookies section below.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected through this site to:

• Respond to consultation requests and match a student with an appropriate tutor or program;
• Follow up by phone, email, or text about tutoring, test prep, consulting, or camp programs you've asked about;
• Send scheduling, billing, and program-related communications to enrolled families;
• Improve this website and our programs based on how the site is used; and
• Meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use the information submitted through our forms for third-party advertising.

Information About Students and Children

Blackmon Tutoring serves students from kindergarten through college. The forms on this site are designed to be completed by a parent or guardian on behalf of a student, not directly by a child. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website without the involvement of a parent or guardian.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us directly and without a parent or guardian's involvement, please contact us using the information below and we will delete that information.

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or lease the personal information submitted through this site to unrelated third parties. We do share information with:

• Our scheduling and customer relationship platform. Form submissions on this site are processed through GoHighLevel, a third-party platform we use to manage inquiries, scheduling, and follow-up communication. GoHighLevel acts as our service provider and processes this information on our behalf.
• Our tutors and staff, as needed to match and deliver the service you've requested.
• Service providers who help us operate this website or our business (for example, website hosting), under confidentiality obligations consistent with this policy.
• Legal or safety purposes, if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the safety of our students, staff, or the public.

Cookies

This site uses a limited number of cookies, primarily through the embedded scheduling and consultation-request form, to keep the form working correctly across your session. These are not used to build advertising profiles. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may prevent the embedded forms from working correctly.

Text Message (SMS) Communications

If you provide a phone number through one of our forms, you may receive text messages from us related to scheduling, consultations, or program updates. By submitting your phone number, you consent to receive these messages. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us, or by contacting us directly using the information below.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted through this site, including transmitting form data over encrypted (SSL/TLS) connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted online.

Data Retention

We retain information submitted through this site for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, deliver services you've enrolled in, and meet our legal and business recordkeeping obligations. If you are not an enrolled family, we periodically review and remove inquiry information that is no longer needed.

Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• Ask us what personal information we hold about you or your student, and request a copy of it;
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information;
• Ask us to delete information we hold about you, subject to our legal and recordkeeping obligations for enrolled families;
• Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email; and
• Opt out of text messages by replying STOP.

To exercise any of these choices, contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
