Information collected directly from you: 

When you use the Sites, Portals, and/or Services, certain areas or features may require you to provide personal information. If you request program information on the Sites or at a Franchised Location, the Sites or the Franchised Location collects your name, email address, phone number, etc. (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”), and information about your child or children that you provide to us (e.g., name and birthdate).

When you contact us, we may request your PII, geographic location, and information about the purpose of the contact and collect this information. 

If you make a reservation for a program or service through the Sites or Portals, we and the Franchised Location at which you make a reservation will collect your PII and payment information. If you contact a Franchised Location, that location may also collect information, including your PII, which they may provide to us. When you contact a Franchised Location, that location may request your name and other PII, geographic location, and information about the purpose of your contact. Other instances where you may provide Your Information include purchasing memberships or gift cards, creating, manipulating or updating accounts on or through the Sites or Portals, completing surveys, purchasing other products or services, participating in forums or submitting User Generated Content, accessing our or a Franchised Locations Wi-Fi System or other systems and platforms in connection with the Sites, Portals, and/or Services, signing up for promotions or to receive newsletters or other materials about or otherwise for any reason associated with our business.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS 

Your Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act:

Throughout this Privacy Policy you will find information required by CCPA regarding the categories of PII collected from you, the purposes for which we use PII, and the categories of third parties your information may be shared with. This information is current as of the date of the Policy and is applicable in the 12 months preceding the effective date of the Policy. 

As a California resident, the CCPA provides you the ability to make inquiries regarding to your PII. Specifically, the degree to which you have inquiries beyond what is already provided in this Privacy Policy, you have the right to request disclosure about the collection and use of your PII over the past 12 months, including: 

• the categories of PII collected about you; 
• the categories of sources for the PII collected about you; 
• the business or commercial purpose for collecting your PII; 
• the categories of third parties with whom your PII was shared; 
• the specific pieces of PII collected about you; 
• if your PII was disclosed for a business purpose, the PII categories disclosed and the categories of third parties to which the information was disclosed; 
• if your PII was sold in the past 12 months, the PII categories sold and the categories of third parties to which the information was sold (NOTE: MATH REACTOR DOES NOT SELL YOUR PII). 

Please note that you may only make the above requests twice in a 12-month period. You also have the right to request that any of your PII collected and retained be deleted, subject to certain exceptions. Finally, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by Math Reactor or any business for exercising any of the rights provided under CCPA.

If we receive a CCPA request from you, we will first make a determination regarding the applicability of the law, and we will then take steps to verify your identity prior to responding.
