7. Children's Privacy
Our Site is designed primarily for parents, guardians, prospective families, employees, applicants, and other adults. It is not intended for children under 13 to submit personal information directly to us.
Parents and legal guardians may provide information about their children when requesting childcare information, scheduling a tour, applying for enrollment, completing authorized forms, or communicating with us.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental involvement or consent where required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, commonly known as COPPA, and other applicable laws.
If we learn that personal information has been collected directly from a child under 13 in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.
Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information directly to us without appropriate authorization should contact us at [reception@alcsnet.org].
We encourage parents and guardians to supervise children’s online activities and instruct children not to submit personal information through our Site.
8. Information About Children Provided by Parents or Guardians
As a childcare organization, we may need information about children in order to respond to enrollment inquiries and provide childcare services.
Information about a child provided by a parent or legal guardian may be used for purposes such as:
- Responding to childcare inquiries
- Determining program availability
- Scheduling visits or tours
- Processing enrollment
- Providing childcare services
- Meeting licensing, safety, emergency, or legal requirements
Sensitive information relating to enrolled children should generally be provided only through the systems or processes designated by Abundant Life for that purpose rather than through general website forms or email.
Information concerning enrolled children may also be subject to separate enrollment agreements, parent handbooks, recordkeeping requirements, and childcare regulations.

Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:

Please include enough information for us to understand and respond to your request.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. If you submit a request on behalf of another individual, we may request documentation confirming that you are authorized to act on that person’s behalf.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business and childcare records, meeting legal or regulatory requirements, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, maintaining security, and protecting our legal rights.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Information that is no longer reasonably necessary will be deleted, destroyed, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with our applicable retention practices.
Information relating to children is not intended to be retained indefinitely when there is no legitimate purpose for retaining it.
11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
Our safeguards may vary depending on the sensitivity of the information, the systems involved, and applicable legal requirements.
Access to personal information is limited, where appropriate, to employees, contractors, and service providers who require access for legitimate organizational purposes.
Despite our efforts, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Email Communications
If you choose to receive marketing emails from us, we may send information relating to:
- Childcare enrollment
- Programs
- Events
- News
- Open houses
- Community activities
- Other Abundant Life information
You may unsubscribe from marketing email communications by selecting the Unsubscribe link included in the message.
You may continue to receive transactional, administrative, enrollment-related, safety-related, or other non-marketing communications when appropriate.
13. SMS and Text Message Communications
If you provide your mobile telephone number and affirmatively consent to receive text messages, Abundant Life may send SMS messages concerning inquiries, tours, enrollment, services, events, reminders, or marketing communications, depending on the consent you provide.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of enrollment or purchasing services.

For assistance, you may reply HELP or contact us using the information listed below.
Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent information will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We may provide mobile information to vendors and service providers that assist us in delivering text messages and related communications, subject to appropriate contractual and legal requirements.
14. Social Media and Third-Party Websites
Our Site may contain links to websites, social media platforms, applications, or services operated by third parties.
We may maintain profiles on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google, or other services.
When you interact with these platforms, the third party may collect or process information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or platforms and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
15. Cookie Preferences
Where our Site provides a cookie consent or preference tool, you may use it to manage certain non-essential cookies and technologies.
You may also adjust cookie settings through your browser.
Disabling cookies may affect certain Site features or functionality.
Cookies and technologies that are strictly necessary to operate, protect, or secure the Site may continue to function even when other cookies are disabled.
16. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or DNT setting.
Because there is not a universally accepted standard governing DNT signals, our Site may not respond to traditional DNT signals.
Certain jurisdictions may separately require recognition of legally valid universal opt-out or privacy preference signals. Where such requirements apply to us, we will process supported signals as required by applicable law.
17. Accessibility
We want our Privacy Policy and Site to be accessible to all members of our community.
If you experience difficulty accessing this Privacy Policy or need it provided in another format, please contact us at [reception@alcsnet.org] or [(978) 657-8710].
We will make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate assistance.
