You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in such communications or by contacting us directly. Even if you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send administrative or transactional communications related to your registration, purchase, account, or participation.
By voluntarily submitting your information through the Campus, you acknowledge that you are choosing to provide that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Where required, communications, registrations, and submissions are understood as occurring with your consent, subject to your right to withdraw from marketing communications or discontinue participation.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as reasonably necessary in the following circumstances:
with trusted service providers that help operate the Campus, such as website hosts, email platforms, payment processors, scheduling systems, analytics providers, course platforms, and related technology vendors;
with contractors, consultants, or administrative support personnel working under confidentiality and operational necessity;
where required by law, subpoena, court order, or legal process;
where necessary to protect rights, safety, property, users, or the integrity of the Campus;
in connection with a business restructuring, transition, merger, sale, or transfer, if applicable.
Any third-party provider’s handling of information is subject to that provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
The Campus may integrate with or link to third-party tools and services, including but not limited to:
payment processors;
email marketing systems;
video and webinar platforms;
scheduling systems;
learning platforms;
analytics tools;
social media platforms;
embedded media or external applications.
Blackademically Speaking® is not responsible for the privacy, security, or data practices of third-party services. Users should review the applicable privacy policies of those providers separately.
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
deliver services and campus operations;
maintain records of purchases, enrollments, or communications;
support legal, accounting, tax, or administrative obligations;
resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Campus.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely archive it as appropriate.
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot warrant absolute security.
Blackademically Speaking® places a high priority on youth dignity and safety. Children are never treated as data points, behavioral targets, or engagement metrics.
The Campus is designed with a healing-centered, ethically conscious posture. Where youth-centered offerings exist, they are intended to operate with appropriate educational, parental, institutional, or supervisory structure as applicable.
We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law or without appropriate oversight and consent where required. If you believe a child has submitted personal information inappropriately, please contact us so the matter may be addressed.
Because this Campus may invite reflection on identity, healing, leadership, wellness, or personal growth, users are encouraged not to submit confidential medical, therapeutic, psychiatric, legal, or other highly sensitive personal information unless expressly requested through a secure and appropriate process.
The Campus is educational in nature and should not be treated as a substitute for licensed professional care or confidential therapeutic treatment.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
request access to certain personal information we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of certain information;
opt out of marketing communications;
ask questions about how your information is used.
To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the Campus evolves, technologies change, legal requirements develop, or operational needs require revision. Updated versions become effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Campus after updates are posted constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
