Where applicable, marketing emails will provide a method to unsubscribe from future marketing communications. Transactional or administrative communications may still be sent when reasonably necessary to respond to an active inquiry or fulfill a request.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies
EducationFranchise.Business may use cookies, tags, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, measure advertising effectiveness, improve the user experience, and support our franchise-development marketing activities.
These technologies may collect information such as device identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, referring URLs, page visits, advertising interactions, and conversion activity.
We may use services provided by advertising and analytics companies, including services offered by Google, to measure website traffic, advertising performance, and conversions.
First-Party Data and Advertising
Where permitted by law and applicable platform policies, information provided directly to Ivybrook Academy may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or communicate with audiences who have previously expressed interest in Ivybrook.
For example, we may use advertising services that allow limited first-party information, such as an email address or telephone number, to be securely matched with an advertising platform.
For these purposes:
- We use information collected directly through Ivybrook-related interactions and do not rely on purchased prospect lists for audience matching.
- We do not knowingly use information concerning children for franchise-development audience targeting.
- We do not intentionally use sensitive personal information such as health information, religion, sexual orientation, race, or similar sensitive categories for advertising personalization.
- Information may be hashed or otherwise processed before being transmitted to an advertising provider where supported.
How We Share Information
We may share personal information with parties that assist in operating Ivybrook Academy’s franchise-development activities, including authorized employees, franchise-development personnel, and service providers that support functions such as:
- Customer relationship management
- Email and communications
- SMS delivery
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Analytics
- Advertising measurement
- Form processing
- Information security
- Professional, legal, accounting, or compliance services
These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and are not authorized to use SMS opt-in information for their own marketing purposes.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process
- Investigate suspected fraud, unlawful activity, misuse, or security incidents
- Protect the rights, safety, property, and legitimate interests of Ivybrook Academy, Ivybrook Franchising, users of this website, or others
- Complete a corporate transaction, restructuring, merger, financing, or similar business event, subject to applicable law
We do not sell mobile telephone numbers or SMS consent information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
EducationFranchise.Business uses secure HTTPS connections for information transmitted through the website.
No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to franchise inquiries, maintaining business and consent records, complying with legal and regulatory requirements, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements.
Records documenting communications consent and opt-out requests may be retained as necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable law and messaging requirements.
Children’s Privacy
EducationFranchise.Business is a franchise-development website intended for adults exploring a business opportunity. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children through this website.
Although Ivybrook Academy provides educational services for children, information collected through EducationFranchise.Business concerns prospective franchise candidates—not enrolled children, students, or families seeking preschool services.
External Websites
This website may contain links to other websites, including the official Ivybrook Academy website.
We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any external websites they visit. The privacy practices of independently operated websites are governed by their own policies.
