1. What information do we collect?

Personal information you disclose to us

In short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.

Personal information provided by you may include the following:

  • Names
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses

Sensitive information. When necessary, with your consent or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, we process the following categories of sensitive information:

  • Health data
  • Student data

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected

In short: Some information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser or device characteristics, is collected automatically when you visit our Services.

This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and information about how and when you use our Services. This is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for internal analytics and reporting. Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. The information we collect includes:

  • Log and usage data — service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect, including your IP address, device information, browser type, and activity on the Services.
  • Device data — information about the computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services, including hardware model, operating system, and internet service provider.
  • Location data — information about your device's location, which can be precise or imprecise, based on your IP address. You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information by disabling your Location setting on your device, though this may affect your ability to use certain features.

2. How do we process your information?

In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, including to:

  • Deliver and facilitate delivery of services to you, providing you with the requested service.
  • Respond to your inquiries and offer support, solving any potential issues you might have.
  • Send administrative information to you, such as details about our services and changes to our policies.
  • Request feedback and contact you about your use of our Services.
  • Send you marketing and promotional communications, in accordance with your marketing preferences. You can opt out of our marketing emails or texts at any time — see What are your privacy rights? below.
  • Deliver targeted advertising to you, developing and displaying personalized content and advertising tailored to your interests.
  • Post testimonials on our Services, which may contain personal information.
  • Protect our Services, including fraud monitoring and prevention.
  • Evaluate and improve our Services, products, marketing, and your experience, including identifying usage trends and the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.
  • Comply with our legal obligations, respond to legal requests, and exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights.

3. When and with whom do we share your personal information?

In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following categories of third parties.

Vendors, consultants, and other third-party service providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:

  • Ad networks
  • Data analytics services
  • Retargeting platforms
  • Sales & marketing tools
  • Social networks
  • Website hosting service providers

We may also need to share your personal information in the following situations:

  • Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.
  • When we use Google Maps Platform APIs. We may share your information with certain Google Maps Platform APIs (for example, the Google Maps API or Places API). Google Maps uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers to estimate your location. GPS is accurate to about 20 meters, while Wi-Fi and cell towers help improve accuracy when GPS signals are weak, like indoors. This data helps Google Maps provide directions, but it is not always perfectly precise.

4. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

In short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain security, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions. We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising.

To the extent these tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale" or "sharing" (including targeted advertising, as defined under applicable law) under US state laws, you can opt out as described under Do United States residents have specific privacy rights? below. Specific information about how we use these technologies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

Google Analytics

We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze use of the Services. The Google Analytics advertising features we may use include Remarketing with Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also opt out through Google Ads Settings, the Network Advertising Initiative, or view Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. How long do we keep your information?

In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, such as licensing, tax, or accounting requirements. When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your information, we will delete or anonymize it, or, where that isn't possible, securely store and isolate it until deletion is possible.

6. How do we keep your information safe?

In short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk.

7. Do we collect information from minors?

In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age through our website.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or market to personal information from children under 18 years of age through our Services, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using our Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to that minor's use of the Services where applicable. If we learn that personal information from a user under 18 has been collected through the Services, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data. If you become aware of any such data, please contact us at info@sunnywest.org.

Separately, as a licensed childcare center, we collect information about the children enrolled in our program directly from parents and guardians through our in-person enrollment process, as described throughout this notice.

8. What are your privacy rights?

In short: You may review, change, or request deletion of your information at any time, depending on your state of residence.

Withdrawing your consent. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw it at any time by contacting us using the details in How can you contact us about this notice? below. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.

Opting out of marketing and promotional communications. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our marketing emails, replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to our text messages, or by contacting us directly. You will then be removed from marketing lists, though we may still send service-related messages necessary for administering our relationship with you.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties.

Cookies and similar technologies. Most web browsers accept cookies by default. You can usually set your browser to remove or reject cookies, though this may affect certain features of our Services.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, email us at info@sunnywest.org.

9. Controls for Do-Not-Track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature you can activate to signal your preference not to have your online browsing activity monitored. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and honoring DNT signals currently exists, so we do not respond to DNT signals at this time. If a standard is adopted that we must follow, we will describe that practice in a revised version of this notice.

10. Do United States residents have specific privacy rights?

In short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have the right to access, correct, obtain a copy of, or delete your personal information, and to withdraw your consent to our processing of it.
