Privacy Policy

Updated December 2, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use our website and tells you about your privacy rights.

1. What information we collect

  • Usage Data. When you visit or use our website, we automatically collect Usage Data — for example: your IP address, browser type/version, pages you view, dates/times visited, and other diagnostic or device data.

  • Contact & Personal Information. When you use forms on the site (e.g., contact or registration), we may collect personal data you provide such as name, email address, and if you opt in to receive SMS/text messages, your mobile phone number and consent status.

2. How we use your information

We may use the information we collect for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and services.

  • Responding to inquiries, requests, or communications you submit.

  • Delivering SMS/text messages only if you have given explicit consent and opted in. These may include updates, alerts, informational messages, or other communications you requested.

3. SMS / Text-Messaging: Consent & Use

If you choose to provide your mobile number and opt in to receive text messages from us:

  • By providing your phone number and opting in, you consent to receive recurring text messages from Holston Academy to that number. Message frequency may vary; standard message and data rates may apply.

  • Opt-out is available at any time. To stop receiving SMS messages, reply “STOP”, “END”, “CANCEL”, “UNSUBSCRIBE”, or “QUIT” (or any common unsubscribe keyword). Upon opt-out, we will cease sending you promotional or informational messages via SMS.

  • Your decision to opt in is voluntary and not a condition of any purchase or service.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Use

  • We will not sell, rent, trade, or lease your personal information — including your mobile phone number and SMS consent status — to non-affiliated third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

  • We may share personal data (including mobile number) only with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in delivering website services or SMS messaging (for example: messaging platforms, telecommunications carriers, or other vendors). These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may use the data solely for purposes related to providing the requested services (e.g., delivering your text messages).

  • We are not responsible for privacy practices of third-party advertisers, ad networks, or external sites linked from our website. If you leave our website via links or ads, those third parties’ privacy policies apply.

5. Security & Data Retention

We strive to protect the security and integrity of the information you provide. However, as with all internet-based services, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will retain your personal data (including phone number and consent preferences) only for as long as needed to provide the services you requested, or as required by law.

6. Your Rights & Choices

  • Opt-out of SMS communications at any time (see Section 3).

  • Review, update, or request deletion of your personal data. To do so, you may contact us at [email protected].

  • Withdraw consent. If you choose, you can revoke your consent for SMS messaging or data processing; we will respect your request and cease data usage beyond what is necessary to comply with the request.

7. Cookies, Advertising & Third-Party Advertisers

As described in our existing policy: We and our advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies, including persistent and session cookies, to collect information about how you use the website. We do not sell or lease your Personal Information to non-affiliated third parties for marketing/promotional purposes. If you visit other websites after leaving ours via ads or links, those third-party sites may collect data under their own policies. We encourage you to review their privacy practices.
