Privacy Policy

BAVC is committed to protecting the privacy of all of our users. Our privacy policy outlines what information we collect from you, how we use that information, and what choices you have regarding how and whether we can use your information. Because BAVC is a learning environment for children, we take additional measures to safeguard children’s privacy, including for children under the age of 13. Please see our children’s privacy policy below, which further outlines our approach.

Our Policy

Welcome to the learning website (the “Site”) of BAVC, Inc. (“BAVC”).

This Privacy Policy sets forth BAVC’s policy with respect to the information collected from visitors and users of the BAVC Services. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning as set forth in the Terms of Service for the Services, which can be found at https://BAVC.com/terms.

If you provide Personal Data to our Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of BAVC and the authorized third parties referred to herein.

Other Information:

Passively Collected Data: When you interact with us through the Site, we receive and store certain data automatically. BAVC may store such passively collected data itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Sites, the number of visitors to each page of our website, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers.

In operating our Sites, we and third parties that provide certain functionality to the BAVC Services may use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Services gives to your browser when you access the Site. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to our Services and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of our Services’ features.

Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information

We use your information to:

  • provide the BAVC Services;
  • process your payment for the Services;
  • send you emails or newsletters that you signed up for;
  • improve the BAVC Services; and
  • analyze website usage.

BAVC Teachers receive recordings of their classes and may use the recordings to improve their curriculum and classes. BAVC may also use Class Recordings to provide feedback to Teachers, for customer support, and for compliance purposes. BAVC and its affiliates may use your Personal Data to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each promotional communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future promotional information. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us at privacy@BAVC.com. Please note that we will continue to contact you via email to respond to requests and provide our Services.

In instances where participating youth interact with online learning, we may provide the recording to Parents and the participants in the class to view. Please note that in some cases, Classes are taught by a “Teacher” that is actually an organization, group, or team of instructors (“Teacher Organization”). In such cases, Class Recordings may be accessed by the entire Teacher Organization and access would not necessarily be limited to a single individual instructor. BAVC may also use Class Recordings to provide feedback to Teachers, for customer support, and for compliance purposes.

BAVC will obtain additional parental consent before we use any Class Recordings for promotional or other purposes.

Children

This section explains our information collection, disclosure, parental consent practices and parental choice procedures with respect to information provided by children under the age of 13 (“Child” or “Children”). This policy is in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), and outlines our practices in the United States regarding Children’s personal information. For more information about COPPA and general tips about protecting Children’s online privacy, please visit OnGuard Online.

Collection: BAVC collects information about students directly through an application process. In addition, Children may share information about themselves during Classes. The BAVC class sessions may take place over online videos in which video images and audio of the Children are recorded. No information is collected directly from Children until they are in the course session. Children cannot post personal data publicly on the BAVC Services.

Use and Disclosure: BAVC shares the name, age, local time zone, and any notes provided about their Child to the Class Teacher, in order to allow the Teacher to provide Classes. This information shall also be treated as part of the Parent’s “Personal Data” and may be shared as described in the Disclosure section above for business transfers; to vendors and service providers; and to comply with legal requirements. Children may also share information about themselves with the Teacher and the rest of their class during the Class session voluntarily. While BAVC expects Teachers and all other Users to abide by our standards of conduct, please note that we cannot control or monitor what personal information your Child shares with Teachers or other classmates, nor what those third parties ultimately do with that information, and we disclaim all responsibility in that regard.

Class Video Recordings: As described above, BAVC records video of students and teachers during BAVC classes (“Class Recordings”). The Class Recordings are made available by BAVC to the Teacher of the Class and may be shared by the Teacher for the entire class (and their Parents) to view (the “Permitted Recipients”). Please note that in some cases, Classes are taught by a “Teacher” that is actually an organization, group, or team of instructors (“Teacher Organization”). In such cases, Class Recordings may be accessed by the entire Teacher Organization, and access would not necessarily be limited to a single individual instructor. BAVC may also use Class Recordings to provide feedback to Teachers, for customer support, and for compliance purposes. BAVC will obtain additional parental consent before we use any Class Recordings for promotional or other purposes. We utilize reasonable means to (i) limit the ability of Teachers to create copies of the Class Recordings or to share the Class Recordings with anyone aside from Permitted Recipients, and also (ii) limit the ability of Permitted Recipients to download or re-share the Class Recordings. While we expect Teachers and Permitted Recipients to abide by our standards of conduct, please note that we cannot control or monitor what such third parties ultimately do with Class Recordings, and disclaim all responsibility in that regard.

Parental Consent: BAVC obtains verifiable parental consent before collecting Personal Data from your Child. BAVC requires that you provide your credit card information in order to register your Child for and pay for an BAVC Class. If you do not consent, then we will not collect, use or disclose any personal information about your Child, and your Child will not be allowed to use the Services in any way. If you are not using our services for any other purposes and do not provide consent within a reasonable time from the date the direct notice was sent, we will also delete your online contact information from our records.

Parental Choices and Controls: At any time, you can refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Data from your Children in association with your account, and can request that we delete from our records the Personal Data we have collected in connection with that account. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a termination of an account, membership, or other service. You may update your Child’s information by logging onto your account. You can contact BAVC to request access to, change, or delete your Child’s personal information by sending an email to us at privacy@BAVC.com. A valid request to delete personal information will be accommodated within a reasonable time. In addition to the foregoing, we will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to delete personal information belonging to Children when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

Links to Other Websites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the BAVC Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we describe here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from our Services do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

Social Media

When you log into the Site using your Facebook account, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable us to access your Facebook account; however you will provide your login information, like your password, directly to Facebook (and not to BAVC). As part of such integration, Facebook will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to Facebook, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and, if and to the extent applicable, the policies of Facebook. However, please remember that the manner in which Facebook uses, stores and disclose your information is governed by the policies of Facebook, and, as a result, BAVC shall not have any liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of Facebook that may be enabled within and/or otherwise accessible through our Services.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the Services from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be fully secure and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. We do not accept liability for disclosures beyond our reasonable control. You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your account credentials. For instance, never give out your password, and safeguard your user name, password and personal credentials when you are using the Services, so that other people will not have access to your Personal Data.
