policy.
Effective August 12, 2026
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Aperiodic Code Academy (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit academy.aperiodiccode.com or contact us. This website is an informational brochure. It does not currently provide accounts, enrollment forms, payments, or an online student portal.
2. Information we handle
Information you choose to provide
If you email us, we receive the information in your message, which may include your name, email address, questions, learning interests, and your relationship to a prospective student. Please provide only the information needed for us to respond.
Basic technical information
When the site is requested, our hosting, reverse-proxy, and security providers may process technical information such as an IP address, browser or device details, requested pages, timestamps, and security or error diagnostics. This information supports reliable delivery, security, and troubleshooting.
We do not use on-site marketing forms, advertising trackers, behavioral advertising, or analytics cookies. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3. How we use information
We may use information to:
- Respond to questions about cohorts, mentoring, or the academy.
- Provide requested information and communicate about possible next steps.
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- Prevent abuse and comply with applicable legal obligations.
4. Text messaging privacy
This section explains how Aperiodic Code Academy collects, uses, and protects information related to recurring text (SMS) messaging. It applies when you choose to receive text messages from us.
Information we collect
We may collect your mobile phone number, text messaging consent status, consent date and method, message delivery and response records, and related account information needed to provide text messages.
How we use text messaging information
We use text messaging information to send transactional and informational messages you have agreed to receive. These may include reminders, class or schedule updates, event notices, weather-related or other business closing notices, customer care communications, and important account notifications.
Message frequency and rates
Message frequency varies based on your relationship with Aperiodic Code Academy and your account activity, and is typically 1 to 5 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply. Contact your mobile service provider for details about your text messaging plan.
Aperiodic Code Academy does not sell, rent, share, trade, or transfer mobile phone numbers, SMS consent, or text messaging opt-in data to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes.
Service providers
We may use service providers to help deliver and manage text messages. These providers are permitted to use text messaging information only to provide services for Aperiodic Code Academy and not for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
Your choices
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to a text message from Aperiodic Code Academy. Reply HELP for help, or contact us directly for assistance with your text messaging preferences. Additional program details are available in our Text Messaging Terms and Conditions.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect text messaging information. Text messaging is not always a secure communication method, and messages may be viewed by anyone with access to your mobile device or mobile account.
5. Children’s privacy
This website is intended for prospective students and their families, but it is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13. A parent or guardian should make inquiries on behalf of a child under 13 and should not include unnecessary information about the child.
If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information without appropriate parental involvement, contact us so we can review and delete it as required. Any future program that requires additional student information will provide appropriate notices and seek consent when required.
6. When information may be shared
We may share information only as reasonably necessary with:
- Service providers that support website delivery, security, and email communications, including Cloudflare.
- Authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety.
- A successor in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of the academy, subject to applicable law.
Third-party providers handle information under their own terms and policies. You can review Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for information about its services.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We do not currently set cookies for analytics or advertising. Infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies to provide security, detect abuse, or manage network traffic. Browser controls can limit cookies, although doing so may affect some security features.
8. Retention and security
We retain inquiry information only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain relevant business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Technical logs are retained according to operational and provider settings. We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also ask us to stop nonessential email communication. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our website or practices change. The effective date above will identify the current version. Material changes will be presented in a reasonably prominent way.
