Welcome to Young Scholars Learning Center (the "Center," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information of our scholars and their families. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information gathered through our website: www.youngscholarslearningcenter.net.

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you enroll a student, fill out a contact form, or make a payment.

• Personal Identifiers: Parent/guardian names, student names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses.
• Educational Information: Grade level, school, learning style notes, and academic needs.
• Payment Information: When you pay via our website, payment details (credit card numbers, etc.) are processed by secure third-party payment processors. We do not store your full financial details on our website servers.
• Technical Data: We may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our site through cookies to improve your user experience.

The information we collect is used strictly for educational and administrative purposes, including:

• Scheduling and confirming tutoring sessions.
• Processing weekly tuition, late fees, and CCAP/transportation payments.
• Sending updates regarding "No School Fun Days" and center news.
• Customizing tutoring plans to fit your scholar's specific learning style.

Our website may contain links to third-party payment portals or booking tools. Please be aware that:

• Processing Fees: As noted in our center policies, website payments incur a processing fee ($0.6\%$ to $2.95\%$, capped at $\$5.00$) plus a $\$3.25$ surcharge per invoice.
• External Sites: We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Protecting the privacy of young scholars is our top priority.

• Our website is intended for use by parents and guardians.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. All student data must be provided by a parent or legal guardian.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is $100\%$ secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We only share information with third parties when necessary to:

• Process payments via our secure gateways.
• Comply with legal obligations or state regulations (e.g., CCAP reporting).
• Protect the safety and rights of our students and staff.
