​Privacy Policy and Terms of Use Agreement
This privacy statement explains the procedures followed by National Heritage Academies in collecting and using information regarding visitors to this and other National Heritage Academies’ websites and advises you of what information might be collected or shared with third parties. The type of information collected will vary depending upon the portions of the site or sites you visit and, in certain circumstances, which you disclose voluntarily. Personally identifiable information is any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, address or e-mail address.
Collection of Information
When you send information to us using e-mail or through one of our internet services requiring an ID and password, National Heritage Academies may share the information with our employees, contractors, affiliates or third party service providers who need to know the information to respond to your request, and as permitted and/or required by law. We may keep some of this information for a period of time as determined necessary by us. For visitors who only read or download pages from National Heritage Academies’ sites, no individual identifying data is shared outside of National Heritage Academies or its service providers. We will not distribute or sell your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required to do so by law.
Registered Users
Visitors who register may be included on or more National Heritage Academies’ e-mail distribution or customer databases used to communicate or contact you, unless you request that we do not do so. (See the Opt-Out section below).
E-mail Users
If you send us an e-mail or respond to the Contact Us section, in addition to the general visitor information, we also may record your e-mail address and any other personal information included with your message. We may use this information to process your request for information, respond to your questions or deliver a service and/or add your address to an e-mail distribution or customer database used to communicate or contact you, unless you request that we do not do so. (See the Choice/Opt-Out section below.)
Opt Out
Visitors or users who do not wish National Heritage Academies to use or share customer data information may request so by indicating when registering at this site, submitting an on-line inquiry to opt out, or by contacting us to request that their name be deleted from any such customer database or shared list. (See the Change/Corrections section below). Also, National Heritage Academies’ customers who do not wish to receive future communications or services may contact us by those same means. Such changes normally take effect within 10 business days after we receive your request, although in some cases it may take longer. If you decide you want to remove this restriction after opting out, please notify us.
