How Information is collected:
There are some pages that have forms asking for information. It is voluntary to provide information in any of these forms. We also collect information through the use of the third party application Procare. This information is provided voluntarily and used for the sole purpose rendering of our services.

The Way We Use Information:

·        To fill an order placed online for a fundraiser:
We use the information provided when placing an order only to fulfill that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except as necessary to complete that order.

·        To respond to inquiries submitted via our website:
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. If specified that a return call is preferred then we will use the number provided to return calls. This number is not shared or sold to outside organizations.

·        To complete registration of a student and provide preschool services:
We use a third-party software called Procare to execute all enrollment and billing functions. Our website provides links to this platform in which we then collect and store this information via the Procare software. This application offers a secure connection and secure data storage. Procare provides the following privacy statement regarding information collected through the use of their app. “Parents' personal information collected through the app is kept confidential and is only used for the purpose of providing childcare services, meaning they do not sell or share this data with third parties unless required by law or with explicit parental consent.”

·        Analytics and Market Analysis:
We may use extracted data provided for our own analysis about our community reach. This is to ensure we are serving our community to the best our ability. Any data used for this purpose is internal only and no data is shared or sold with outside organizations.

Stepping Stones Preschool Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment and password protected.

Stepping Stones Preschool Commitment To Children's Privacy:
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How You Can Access Or Correct Your Account Information:
You can access all Stepping Stones Preschool personally identifiable information that we collect and maintain by contacting Stepping Stones Preschool. We use this procedure to better safeguard our database information.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify callers identity before granting access or making corrections.
