Last Updated: July 2026

Introduction

Right Start Academy ("RSA," "we," "us," or "our") operates rightstartacademy.org and is committed to protecting the privacy of the families, applicants, and visitors who use our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you.

By using our website or submitting information through our forms, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide through the forms on our website:

Interest and Contact Forms

Uniform Orders

Employment Applications

Tour Bookings

Automatically Collected Information

Children's Privacy

Right Start Academy serves children ages two through five. Our website is directed to parents and guardians, not to children, and we do not knowingly permit children to submit information through our website.

We do collect limited information about children, such as a child's first and last name and date of birth, when a parent or guardian voluntarily provides it through our interest, enrollment, or uniform order forms. This information is provided by the adult, is used solely to respond to your inquiry, determine program placement and availability, and fulfill uniform orders, and is never sold or used for advertising purposes.

If you believe a child has submitted information to us directly, please contact us at info@rightstartacademy.org and we will promptly delete it.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Marketing Communications and Lead Management

When you submit an interest form, contact form, or tour booking request, your contact information may be added to our customer relationship management (CRM) system and used to follow up with you about enrollment at Right Start Academy. This may include emails, phone calls, or text messages about tours, availability, enrollment deadlines, and related information.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email we send, or by emailing us at info@rightstartacademy.org with the subject line "Unsubscribe." Please note that even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still contact you regarding an active inquiry, a uniform order, a scheduled tour, or your child's enrollment.

[CONFIRM WITH GYC: name of CRM platform in use, so it can be listed by name in this section.]

Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors interact with our site and to support our marketing efforts. This includes analytics and advertising tools that may collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and referral source.

Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of our website function.

Third-Party Services We Use

Our website relies on trusted third-party services to operate. When you use certain features, information may be transmitted to and processed by these providers, each of which maintains its own privacy policy:

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as the platforms listed above and our marketing partner, all of whom are expected to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us. We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our students, families, staff, or organization.

Data Retention

We retain inquiry and lead information for as long as needed to respond to you and pursue enrollment, and thereafter as needed for our records. Uniform order records are retained for order fulfillment and accounting purposes. Employment application materials are retained in accordance with applicable employment recordkeeping requirements. Enrolled student records are retained as required by Maryland State Department of Education licensing regulations.

You may request deletion of your information at any time as described below.
