HSU Academy Inc.
Effective Date: October 20, 2026
Website: hsuacademy.com

This Privacy Policy explains how HSU Academy Inc. (“HSU Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information relating to visitors, clients, parents, students, business contacts, and prospective independent service providers. It covers hsuacademy.com, inquiries, appointment bookings and program interactions handled by HSU Academy. Separate terms and privacy notices may govern affiliated platforms and third-party services.

1. Scope and Responsible Organization

HSU Academy Inc. is a California-based educational and professional development organization. The HSU Academy website describes educational programs, training, consulting, and affiliated offerings; it also enables prospective clients to inquire or request consultations. This policy applies when we determine why and how information is processed. In arrangements administered by a school, employer or another organization, the applicable agreement may allocate responsibilities differently.

2. Categories of Personal Information

Depending on your relationship with us, information may include: (a) identifiers, such as name, contact details, employer, organization and online identifiers; (b) inquiry information, requested service, subject areas, learning or training objectives, availability and appointment details; (c) educational, employment, professional and credential information supplied by applicants and service providers; (d) enrollment, communications, feedback and service history; (e) billing records, payment confirmation and transaction status; (f) website and device activity, IP address, approximate location, referral source and cookie information; and (g) other information you choose to supply in forms, emails, meetings or submissions. If a particular program reasonably requires information about age, accessibility, physical limitations or learning needs, we will handle such information with appropriate care and limit its use to relevant purposes.

3. Sources of Information

We receive information directly from you or a parent, guardian or organizational representative; from interactions with our website and scheduling tools; from affiliated platforms or authorized service providers who coordinate a requested service; from professional or educational references and credential sources where relevant; and from website analytics and communication platforms. We may also receive business-contact information through lawful outreach or referrals.

4. Purposes of Processing

We use information to answer inquiries, conduct consultations, assess program fit, manage enrollment and scheduling, deliver or coordinate instruction and professional development, identify suitable independent service providers, verify credentials and required safeguarding checks, communicate administrative notices, process authorized payments, respond to complaints, measure website performance, improve services, prevent abuse, maintain business records and comply with law. We use marketing contact information for newsletters, program news or other promotions only where permitted, with unsubscribe options.

5. Service Providers, Contractors and Other Recipients

Information may be disclosed to authorized instructors, tutors, facilitators, fitness guides, consultants and other providers when reasonably necessary to evaluate or deliver requested services; to website hosting, security, communications, form, scheduling, cloud-storage, CRM, analytics, email and payment vendors; to reference-checking or screening providers when applicable; and to professional advisers, insurers, or governmental authorities where appropriate or legally required. Providers are expected to receive only the information relevant to their roles. Third-party services may also collect information directly under their own notices.

6. Affiliated Brands and Separate Sites

Related services include Online Tutor Connect (https://onlinetutorconnect.com), Online Workshop Hub (https://onlineworkshophub.com), and Online Dojo Workout (https://onlinedojoworkout.com). Information relating to an inquiry may be directed to the affiliated service or authorized provider when needed to respond or coordinate that requested offering. Each site may have its own privacy notice, enrollment agreement, provider standards and practices. An inquiry through HSU Academy does not automatically create an account or enrollment on other websites.

7. Website Hosting, Forms, and Scheduling

Our website runs on WordPress.com infrastructure and uses WordPress and Jetpack functionality. Web forms and contact or consultation requests may transmit submitted information to systems used to respond. Where Calendly booking links or embeds are provided, Calendly may receive contact, appointment and technical information as described in its own privacy notice. Other integrated meeting or communications providers may process information to operate requested features.

8. Cookies, Analytics and Advertising

Necessary technologies may enable page delivery, security, embedded content or form operation. If activated, analytics technologies can measure visits, referring sources and interactions; advertising tools may measure campaigns or support retargeting. The presence, category and duration of cookies depend on configured integrations and user choices. You can control cookies in your browser and through any available consent preference tools. Where applicable law requires opt-in consent or an opt-out, we will make the relevant mechanism available. Disabling some cookies can affect website functions.

9. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising

We do not offer personal information for sale in exchange for money. Certain third-party advertising or cross-context measurement technologies, if enabled, may nevertheless be treated as ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ under specific U.S. state laws. We will evaluate those uses and provide legally required notices and opt-out methods, including treatment of applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals where required. Do not assume that a browser ‘Do Not Track’ signal has the same effect as a legally recognized opt-out preference signal.

10. Sensitive Personal Information and Safeguarding Records

For particular services or provider onboarding, we may need eligibility details, professional licenses, safeguarding clearance status or limited health-related accommodation information. Government identity documents, tax records and background screening materials, if required, should be submitted through the designated secure process rather than a general contact form. We limit their use to enrollment, provider verification, payments, legal compliance, accessibility, safeguarding or other disclosed purposes, and restrict access based on need.

11. Children, Students and Parental Consent

Some programs serve students under 18. The general HSU Academy website is primarily intended for parents, guardians, educators, organizations and adult prospects. Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information to our general forms. Where an online service collects personal information from a child under 13 and COPPA applies, we will provide required notices and seek verifiable parental consent unless a valid exception applies. Parents or guardians may request access, correction or deletion as permitted by law. Minor-related information should not be used for behavioral advertising. Program-specific parental permission, safeguarding, supervision and student-data rules may apply.

12. School and Organizational Clients

An institution may submit information about participants or direct a learner to an approved service. The institution and HSU Academy may have distinct obligations under contract or law. We will use student or employee information for the agreed educational or administrative purpose, and school-controlled records or legally protected education records will be handled according to applicable agreements and requirements. This policy alone does not assert that every HSU Academy activity is covered by FERPA.

13. Security Measures

We use reasonable organizational, administrative and technical precautions based on the nature of information and the services involved, which may include access controls, limited sharing, account protections and reputable platforms. No website, email transmission, storage system or screening process is completely secure. Please avoid sending highly sensitive records through general inquiry channels. We assess and handle incidents and notifications in accordance with applicable requirements.

14. Retention and Deletion

We retain information only while reasonably necessary for its collected purpose, including an active inquiry, a program or contractor relationship, required tax and transaction records, safeguarding documentation, security, disputes and legal obligations. Retention varies by category and applicable requirements; information may be deleted, de-identified or securely disposed of when no longer needed. Legal preservation duties or legitimate unresolved matters may require continued retention.

15. Privacy Choices and Requests

You may ask us to review, correct or delete information, or request an explanation of how it is used, by contacting https://hsuacademy.com/contact/ with ‘Privacy Request’ in your message. We may verify identity or authority before acting and may deny or limit requests where a lawful exception applies. Where relevant law grants additional rights, including portability, limits on sensitive-data use, objection or consent withdrawal, we will address them as required. You may unsubscribe from promotional email using the message’s unsubscribe mechanism; service-related messages may continue.

16. California and Other U.S. State Rights

If HSU Academy qualifies as a covered business under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, eligible California residents may have rights to know/access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain sensitive-data uses, and avoid unlawful discrimination, subject to legal exceptions. Residents of other states may have additional applicable rights. We will provide required notices at collection and available request methods when the relevant laws apply. This section does not imply that every statutory regime necessarily covers our organization.

17. International Visitors and Transfers

We operate from the United States, and service providers may process information in the U.S. or elsewhere. Privacy rights and transfer requirements depend on where individuals live and on the activity. Where applicable, we will adopt legally required safeguards for international processing and transfers. Additional region-specific disclosures may be provided where necessary.

18. Automated Tools and Professional Decisions

We may use administrative software, automation or AI-assisted tools to help organize inquiries, produce program-related materials or support operational review. These tools are not a substitute for responsible professional oversight of sensitive eligibility, student-safety or provider decisions. We do not ask visitors to provide confidential records through a general inquiry merely to obtain an introductory consultation.

19. External Websites and Communications

Links to third-party sites, scheduling portals and communications services are for convenience. Their privacy practices are governed by their respective policies. When you send information over email, messaging or an online meeting platform, that service may independently process the transmission. Contacting us does not authorize unrelated promotional messages absent an applicable legal basis.

20. Policy Changes

We may revise this Privacy Policy as our programs, vendor relationships, technical setup or legal responsibilities change. We will post the revised effective date here and provide further notification where required. Material changes involving consent-based processing will be handled in accordance with law.

21. Contact and Responsible Requests

HSU Academy Inc., California, United States. Website: https://hsuacademy.com. Privacy questions, access/correction/deletion requests and parent/guardian inquiries: https://hsuacademy.com/contact/. Identify the request as ‘Privacy Request’ or ‘Parent/Guardian Privacy Request’ and provide an appropriate way for us to respond.

22. Mobile Phone Information and SMS Privacy

HSU Academy Inc. does not sell, rent, or share leads’ or clients’ phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, or text-message consent with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes. Data will not be sold or shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information, text messaging originator opt-in data, and consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. This restriction does not prevent limited sharing with messaging carriers, communications platforms, and service vendors that act on our behalf to deliver communications and support security and compliance, or disclosure required by law. Such providers are not authorized by us to use this data for their own independent promotional marketing.

If you voluntarily provide a mobile phone number and expressly opt in to SMS communications, HSU Academy Inc. may send text messages related to your inquiries, appointments, consultation confirmations, reminders, program or service updates, and other communications described at the point of consent. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. Consent to receive promotional texts is not a condition of purchase or submitting a website inquiry. You can contact us at https://hsuacademy.com/contact/ for assistance. See our Terms & Conditions for additional SMS terms.
