Privacy Policy — Tampa Bay Christian Academy
Effective date: June 24, 2026
Tampa Bay Christian Academy (“TBCA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website (tbcarams.org) and related communications, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us — for example, when you submit an inquiry or contact form, request information, schedule a visit, or apply for enrollment. This may include your name, your child’s name and grade, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any details you choose to share. We may also automatically collect limited technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) through standard website analytics.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries and requests, schedule and confirm campus visits and tours, communicate with you about admissions and enrollment, send you information about programs, events, and scholarships where you have agreed to receive it, and operate and improve our website and services.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to help the site function, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and measure the performance of our content and advertising. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you view. We may use third-party analytics and advertising services — such as Google Analytics and the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) pixel — that set their own cookies and are subject to their respective privacy policies. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
Text messaging (SMS/MMS)
If you provide your phone number and opt in, we may contact you by text message. We only send text messages to individuals who have given express consent by checking the consent box on our inquiry form. Consent is not a condition of enrollment or any purchase.
When you opt in, you will receive text messages about your family’s current and future admissions and enrollment — including tour confirmations and reminders, application and enrollment updates, open houses and admissions events, important dates, and scholarship information. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP.
We do not sell or share your mobile phone number or your text-messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Mobile opt-in information is never shared with third parties.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate our website and communications, and only to the extent needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required by law. As stated above, we never share mobile opt-in or text-messaging consent information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Data security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information you provide against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
Our website and forms are intended for use by parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without parental involvement.
Your choices
You may request to update or remove your information, or opt out of communications, at any time by contacting us at the information below. For text messages, reply STOP to opt out at any time, or reply HELP for assistance.
