This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website, contact us, request information, apply for enrollment, register for programs, or otherwise interact with Hatfield’s MCBC.

Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, request information about our programs, schedule a visit, submit an application, register for classes, complete an online form, or otherwise communicate with us.
Information we collect may include your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, educational background, program interests, enrollment information, and other information you choose to provide.
If payment is made online, payment information may be processed through a third-party payment processor. Hatfield’s MCBC may not directly store complete credit or debit card information processed through these third-party services.
Applicants and students may be asked to provide additional information as necessary for admissions, enrollment, financial assistance, licensing requirements, academic records, or other school-related purposes. Certain student records may also be governed by additional school policies and applicable federal or state requirements.

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, and similar technologies.
This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, approximate geographic location, time spent on the website, and other information regarding how visitors interact with our website.
We may use this information to operate and improve our website, understand visitor activity, identify technical issues, improve security, and evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, remember visitor preferences, analyze website traffic, and support advertising or marketing activities.

We may also use information to better understand interest in our educational programs and improve the services and information we provide.

If you provide your email address or telephone number, Hatfield’s MCBC may use that information to respond to your request and communicate with you regarding programs, admissions, enrollment, appointments, school information, or other matters related to your relationship with us.
Where permitted, we may also send information regarding upcoming classes, enrollment opportunities, events, promotions, or other Hatfield’s MCBC news.

If text messaging services are offered, you may opt out of promotional text messages by following the instructions contained in the message. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile service provider.
How We Share Information
Hatfield’s MCBC does not sell personal information simply because you submit an inquiry or enrollment form through our website.
We may share information with trusted companies and service providers that assist us with operating our website, communications, hosting, payment processing, analytics, advertising, administrative functions, student services, or other legitimate business operations.
These providers may receive information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and are subject to their own contractual and legal obligations regarding personal information.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, licensing requirement, or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Hatfield’s MCBC, our students, our employees, or others.
Information may also be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, sale, restructuring, or other transfer involving all or part of Hatfield’s MCBC.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to websites, social media platforms, payment processors, educational resources, or other services operated by third parties.
Hatfield’s MCBC does not control the privacy practices of these third parties. When you leave our website or use a third-party service, your information may be governed by that provider’s privacy policy and terms of service.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you use.
Social Media
Hatfield’s MCBC may maintain profiles on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or other services. Information you submit directly through those platforms is also subject to the privacy policies and practices of the applicable social media provider.
Information you make publicly available through social media may be visible to other users and should not be considered private.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own risk.
Data Retention
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain appropriate educational or business records, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended primarily for individuals interested in educational programs and services and is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in circumstances where such collection is not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to address the information appropriately.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information to us may contact Hatfield’s MCBC using the contact information below.
Your Privacy Choices
You may contact Hatfield’s MCBC to request that we update or correct certain personal information we maintain about you.
You may also request that we stop sending promotional communications. Certain records may need to be retained for legitimate educational, administrative, contractual, regulatory, or legal purposes even after a request is made.
Depending on where you reside, applicable law may provide additional rights concerning access to, correction of, deletion of, or use of your personal information. Hatfield’s MCBC will respond to applicable privacy requests as required by law.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signal. Because there is not a single universally accepted standard governing all such signals, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track setting.
