The Locksmith Corner (“we,” “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our Classroom platform and related services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, including:
- Account information (name, email, password)
- Application and screening information (contact details, experience, availability, and similar)
- Verification data: date of birth, U.S. citizenship status, and—when applicable—guardian name, relationship, and contact information
- Verification documents: proof of age, proof of U.S. citizenship, and guardian ID (if under 21). These are uploaded by you and stored in a secure, access-controlled environment.
We also collect usage data (e.g., how you use the platform, device and browser information) and may use cookies and similar technologies as described below.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Classroom and training services
- Verify your eligibility per our Requirements (age, U.S. citizenship, and guardian when required)
- Review applications and verification documents
- Communicate with you about your account, courses, and support
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and safety
3. Verification Data: Protected and Unshared
Verification documents and related personal data are treated as highly confidential. They are stored in a private, access-controlled system. Only authorized personnel involved in eligibility review and verification may access them. We do not sell, rent, or share your verification documents or verification-related personal data with third parties for marketing or other purposes. We may disclose such information only:
- To comply with law or legal process (e.g., subpoena, court order)
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of The Locksmith Corner, our users, or the public
4. Data Storage and Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and secure storage for uploaded documents. Verification documents are stored in a dedicated, restricted storage area and are not used for purposes other than eligibility and verification.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide services, comply with law, and resolve disputes. Verification documents may be retained for a longer period where required for compliance or legitimate business purposes. You may request deletion of your personal data subject to applicable law and our retention obligations.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information provided on our platform. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember preferences, and understand how the platform is used. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies, though some features may not work correctly if you do.
8. Children
Our services are not directed to anyone under the age of majority without a guardian. Applicants under 21 must have an accompanying guardian who is a direct relation, as described in our Requirements.
9. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy and, where appropriate, by other means. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
