Privacy Policy for Play Dates Academy

Effective Date: April 29, 2026

Play Dates Academy operates its website at playdatesacademy.com and provides indoor play, drop-in childcare, parties, and related family services in Goldsboro, North Carolina. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when visitors use the website.

Information Collected

Information may be collected when a visitor fills out a contact form, requests information, books a service, joins a waitlist, signs up for updates, submits party or camp inquiries, or otherwise communicates through the website. This may include a parent or guardian name, email address, phone number, child-related details voluntarily provided by the parent or guardian, and any message contents submitted through the website.

The website may also automatically collect certain technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral source, and general usage data through cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies used to operate and improve the site.

How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to respond to inquiries, provide customer support, process registrations or booking requests, communicate about programs and promotions, improve website performance, maintain business records, and protect the security of the website and its users.

If a visitor opts in to receive marketing messages, Play Dates Academy may send updates about open play, memberships, camps, birthday parties, childcare services, events, or promotions. A recipient may opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link, if available, or by contacting the business directly.​

Children’s Privacy

The website is intended for use by parents, guardians, and other adults, not by children acting on their own. Any information about a child should be submitted only by a parent or legal guardian and only to the extent reasonably necessary to request or receive services.​

Sharing of Information

Play Dates Academy does not sell personal information.​ Information may be shared with service providers and technology vendors that support website hosting, scheduling, registration, payment processing, email communication, analytics, customer relationship management, or similar business operations, but only as reasonably necessary for those functions.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, regulatory request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, and property of Play Dates Academy, its staff, families, or the public.

Cookies and Tracking

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember visitor preferences, understand website traffic, improve content, and support website functionality.​ Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect some site features.​

Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards may be used to protect information collected through the website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.​

Data Retention

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain appropriate business and safety records.

Third-Party Links and Tools

The website may contain links to third-party websites, booking tools, forms, social media pages, or embedded services that are operated by others. Those third parties maintain their own privacy practices, and Play Dates Academy is not responsible for their content, policies, or security practices.​

Your Choices

A visitor may contact Play Dates Academy to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information submitted through the website, subject to legal and operational limits. A visitor may also request to stop receiving promotional communications at any time.​

U.S. Users

Play Dates Academy operates in the United States from Goldsboro, North Carolina. By using the website, visitors understand that information may be processed and stored in the United States.​
