Last updated: August 29, 2026

The Concerned Parents Association of PS16 (“PS16 CPA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit and use ps16cpa.net (the “Website”).

By using our Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you use our Website, including when you:

  • Place an order through our online store;
  • Contact us through a contact form or email;
  • Subscribe to or otherwise participate in communications from PS16 CPA;
  • Provide information in connection with an event, activity, or school-community program.

Depending on how you use the Website, information may include:

  • Name;
  • Email address;
  • Mailing address;
  • Billing or shipping information;
  • Telephone number;
  • Order and transaction information;
  • Information you provide in messages or other communications with us.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a specific purpose and provided voluntarily.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information we collect to:

  • Process and fulfill orders;
  • Send order confirmations, receipts, and other transaction-related emails;
  • Respond to questions and requests;
  • Communicate with members of the PS16 community;
  • Provide information about events, activities, programs, or announcements;

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

3. Online Orders and Payments

Our Website may use WooCommerce to process online orders.

When you place an order, information necessary to process and fulfill the order may be collected, including your name, email address, billing information, shipping information, order details, and transaction information.

Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers. PS16 CPA does not intentionally retain complete payment-card numbers or security codes on its own website.

Your use of a third-party payment provider may also be subject to that provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

4. Emails

When you place an order, we may send transactional emails such as order confirmations, receipts, order-status notifications, and other information necessary to complete your transaction.

We may use third-party email services to deliver these messages. These providers may process your email address and related information solely as necessary to deliver communications on our behalf.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality, remember preferences, process shopping-cart and checkout activity, maintain security, and understand how visitors use the Website.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by the Website.

You can generally control or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website, including shopping-cart or checkout features.

6. Information Sharing

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Website and provide services to you. These may include providers for:

  • Website hosting;
  • Online payments;
  • E-commerce and order processing;
  • Email delivery;
  • Website security;
  • Website analytics and related technical services.

We only share information as reasonably necessary for these purposes or as required or permitted by law.

We may also disclose information when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or the safety of others, investigate fraud or abuse, or respond to a lawful request.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including fulfilling orders, maintaining appropriate business and financial records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate authorization.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

11. Your Choices

You may contact us to ask about personal information we may hold about you or to request correction or deletion of information, subject to any legal or operational requirements that require us to retain certain information.

You may also unsubscribe from non-transactional email communications by following the instructions included in those communications.

Transactional emails, such as order confirmations and receipts, may still be sent when necessary to complete or document a transaction.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our Website, services, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
