Some third-party services integrated into our website may also use their own cookies.

You can adjust cookie permissions through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may prevent parts of the website or membership platform from working correctly.

6. Children’s Privacy

The Academy of Noise provides educational programming for young people; however, participation in an Academy of Noise educational program does not automatically mean that we collect personal information from a child through this website.

Unless otherwise specifically stated, website purchases, membership registrations, school booking requests, and account management should be completed by an adult, parent or legal guardian, educator, or other authorized purchaser.

Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information or create an online account without appropriate parent or legal guardian involvement.

If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected in a manner that requires parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to address the information in accordance with applicable law.

Parents or legal guardians who believe that their child’s personal information has been submitted to us may contact us at info@theacademyofnoise.com.

7. School and Educational Program Information

Schools, educators, administrators, and organizations may submit information through our website when requesting assemblies, workshops, residencies, professional development, or other Academy of Noise programming.

Information submitted through these forms is used primarily to respond to the request, prepare programming information or proposals, communicate about potential or confirmed services, and manage our relationship with the school or organization.

We ask that school representatives avoid submitting sensitive personal information about individual students through general website inquiry forms.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect the information entrusted to us.

However, no website, online service, or method of electronic storage can guarantee absolute security.

We encourage users to protect their account passwords and contact us if they believe their account or personal information has been compromised.

9. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

Provide our services
Maintain membership and purchase records
Respond to inquiries
Fulfill contractual or business obligations
Comply with legal, accounting, or tax requirements

Protect our legal rights

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or anonymize it.

Update or correct certain personal information
Delete certain personal information
