Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, remember preferences, understand visitor activity, measure performance, and support advertising.

These technologies may include:

 

• Essential Wix cookies needed for security and Website functions

• Wix Analytics

• Google Analytics and Google Ads

• Meta Pixel and related Meta advertising tools

• Cookies or technologies used by embedded videos and social media content

• Email measurement tools that tell us whether a message was opened or a link was selected

Some of these tools may collect information about your activity over time and across websites or services. Google, Meta, and other advertising providers may use this information according to their own privacy policies.

Where available, you can use the Website's cookie banner to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Website function.

Advertising and Audience Matching

We may use Google, Meta, and other advertising services to measure campaigns, understand whether advertising leads to Website visits or registrations, and show information about Robot Garage programs to people who may be interested.

We may provide contact identifiers, such as an email address or telephone number, to an advertising platform for audience matching, suppression, measurement, or similar advertising purposes. These platforms may also receive information through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies, including page views, form submissions, and other Website activity.

The Robot Garage does not sell or rent customer lists or personal information for money. However, some state privacy laws may define certain advertising-related disclosures as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information even when no money is exchanged. Where required by applicable law, you may opt out of these practices through the Website's cookie controls or by contacting us using the information below.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information with service providers and partners that help us operate the Website and provide our programs. These may include:

 

• Wix, which hosts and supports the Website, forms, member accounts, and related tools

• Mindbody, which provides registration and payment services

• Payment processors connected to Mindbody

• Email, mailing, and customer communication providers

• Analytics, advertising, and audience-matching providers, including Google and Meta

• Video, social media, and other embedded-content providers

• CAPTCHA, security, fraud-prevention, data-storage, and technology providers

• Professional advisers, such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, and consultants

• Vendors that help us provide customer support, administer promotions, or operate programs

 

These providers receive different types of information depending on the services they perform. We expect service providers to use personal information only for the purposes for which it was provided and to protect it appropriately.

We may also disclose personal information:

 

• When you direct us to or consent to the disclosure

• To complete a transaction or provide a requested service

• To comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process

• To protect the rights, property, safety, or security of The Robot Garage or others

• To investigate or prevent fraud, misuse, or harmful activity

• In connection with a merger, sale, financing, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of our business

 

We do not sell, rent, or lease customer lists to third parties for their independent direct marketing.

Information About Children

The Website is designed for adults and is not intended for children under 13 to submit information independently. Children under 13 should not create an account, complete a Website form, join a mailing list, enter a promotion, or otherwise provide personal information through the Website without the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. 

Parents, caregivers, educators, and other authorized adults may provide information about children so that we can answer questions, register participants, provide programs, communicate about participation, and address safety or accommodation needs.

We do not knowingly use children's personal information for targeted advertising or sell children's personal information. If we learn that a child under 13 submitted personal information directly through the Website without appropriate parental involvement or consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or legal guardian may contact us to ask what information we have about their child, request a correction, withdraw permission for future collection or use, or request deletion, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

Email and Postal Communications

We may use the contact information you provide to send program announcements, confirmations, newsletters, promotions, surveys, special offers, or other communications.

Marketing emails may include technologies that tell us whether an email was opened or a link was selected. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message. You may still receive non-promotional communications related to registrations, transactions, safety, customer service, or an existing relationship with The Robot Garage.

To ask us to stop sending postal marketing, contact us using the information below.

Data Retention

Retention periods vary according to the type of information, why it was collected, our operational needs, and applicable legal, accounting, tax, safety, and contractual requirements. The Robot Garage does not currently apply one automatic deletion schedule to every category of information.

We may retain records while they are needed to provide services, maintain program and transaction histories, communicate with families and schools, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, meet legal obligations, or support legitimate business operations. Marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, subject to any information we must retain to honor that request.

Payment-card information is stored and processed by Mindbody and its payment providers rather than directly by The Robot Garage. Mindbody applies its own retention practices to information held in its systems.

We may de-identify or aggregate information so it can no longer reasonably be linked to a person. We may retain and use de-identified or aggregated information for research, reporting, planning, and business analysis.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. We also rely on service providers, including Wix and Mindbody, to protect information maintained in their systems.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information through general contact forms or email unless we specifically request it and provide an appropriate method.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have the right to:

 

• Ask whether we hold personal information about you or your child

• Request access to certain personal information

• Ask us to correct inaccurate information

• Request deletion of personal information

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

• Opt out of marketing communications

• Opt out of certain advertising-related sales or sharing

• Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information

• Receive information about the categories of personal information we collect, use, and disclose

• Appeal a decision regarding a privacy request, where applicable

• Exercise your rights without unlawful discrimination

 

These rights may be subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain information to complete a transaction, provide a requested service, maintain safety or attendance records, prevent fraud, comply with law, resolve disputes, or enforce an agreement.

To submit a privacy request, contact us at programs@therobotgarage.com or use the contact information below. Please describe your request and the information or interaction involved. We may need to verify your identity, authority, or relationship to a child before completing the request.

You can manage non-essential cookies through the Website's cookie banner and unsubscribe from promotional email through the link in each message.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to Mindbody, social media platforms, a future affiliated foundation website, scholarship resources, or other third-party websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Please review the privacy policy of any external service before submitting personal information. If a form is embedded directly on therobotgarage.com, information collected through that form is covered by this Privacy Policy as described above, even when a third-party provider helps process it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our Website, programs, service providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date above. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice through the Website, by email, or through another appropriate method.
