Centripetal Education — Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 17 August 2026 Last Updated: 14 August 2026
The Short Version
Centripetal Education collects your name and email address when you sign up for a waitlist or program, and payment information is processed securely through Stripe. I do not sell your information. I do not share it with anyone except the services required to run this site and deliver your programs. You can ask me to delete your data at any time.
That’s it. The details are below.
Who This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the Centripetal Education website and all programs and services offered through it. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
This site is intended for users age 13 and older. If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information. If I become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, I will delete it promptly.
What Information I Collect
Information you give me directly:
- Your name and email address, when you join a waitlist, enroll in a program, or contact me
- Your student’s name and grade level, when relevant to a coaching or tutoring inquiry
- Any information you include in a contact form or email
Payment information:
- Payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. I do not see or store your full credit card number. Stripe handles all payment data under their own security standards and privacy policy.
Information collected automatically:
- Basic website analytics (pages visited, general location by country/region, device type) — collected through WordPress and any analytics plugin in use
- Cookies, which help the site function properly and remember your preferences
How I Use Your Information
I use the information I collect to:
- Send confirmation emails, program updates, and enrollment information
- Deliver the programs and services you’ve signed up for
- Respond to questions and support requests
- Send occasional emails about new programs or resources (you can unsubscribe at any time — every email includes an unsubscribe link)
- Improve the website and program offerings
I do not use your information for advertising. I do not sell your information. Ever.
Who I Share Information With
I share information only with the services necessary to operate this site and deliver programs:
- Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — my email service provider, which stores subscriber names and email addresses and sends emails on my behalf. Kit’s Privacy Policy
- Stripe — payment processing. Stripe’s Privacy Policy
- WordPress / hosting provider — the platform and server that hosts this website
No other third parties receive your personal information.
Email Communications
When you join a waitlist or enroll in a program, you’ll receive emails related to that program. If you sign up for general updates, you’ll receive occasional emails about new programs and resources.
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email me directly at [contact email] to be removed from any list.
I comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. I will not send deceptive subject lines, I will honor opt-out requests promptly, and I will always include a physical or mailing address as required. [Robin: add your mailing address or P.O. box here — this is a federal requirement for commercial email.]
Cookies
This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help the site function and to understand how visitors use it. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the site may not work correctly if you do.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information I hold about you
- Correct any inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of marketing emails at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email me at [contact email]. I’ll respond within 30 days.
California residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have additional rights, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected and the right to request deletion. I do not sell personal information. To submit a request, email me at [contact email].
Data Retention
I retain your information for as long as needed to deliver the services you’ve enrolled in, comply with legal obligations, and resolve any disputes. If you request deletion, I will remove your information from active systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Security
I take reasonable steps to protect your information, including using secure connections (HTTPS) and working only with reputable third-party services. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure. If you have concerns about the security of your information, please contact me directly.
Changes to This Policy
If I make significant changes to this policy, I’ll post the updated version here with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
