Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

At The Academy of Gymnastics (TAG), accessible from our student portal and landing website, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors and registered students. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data in connection with both our portal and our communications via the WhatsApp Business API.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at theacademyofgymnastics01@gmail.com.


1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register a student, subscribe to notifications, make an enquiry, or interact with our staff. This includes:

  • Student Profile Data: Full name, date of birth, gender, registration fee details, current training level, shirt size, profile photo, medical history, and training focus.
  • Parent or Guardian Data: Full name, email address, physical address, and contact number (WhatsApp-enabled phone number).
  • Communication Logs: Chat logs, support requests, and media files (images, documents, audio, or video) sent to or received from our official WhatsApp Business account.
  • System Logs: Account credentials, login history, and transaction data for payment records.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate, manage, and improve our services, including:

  • Processing new student admissions and managing progressive level placements.
  • Creating and securing credentials for the student and parent portal.
  • Processing monthly fees, collecting payments, and issuing electronic receipts.
  • Communicating schedule changes, emergency alerts, or administrative updates.
  • Improving safety and tracking attendance at our training facility.

3. WhatsApp Messaging & Communications

We integrate the WhatsApp Business API to provide timely and convenient updates. By providing us with your WhatsApp-capable mobile number during enquiry or registration, you consent to receive communications from us.

What we send via WhatsApp:

  • Admission welcome messages and student portal credentials.
  • Monthly fee-due reminders and grace-period alerts.
  • Payment confirmation receipts.
  • Automated re-engagement notifications if a plan expires or sessions are fully used.
  • Direct support messages from our admin staff using our internal two-way chat dashboard.

All incoming and outgoing WhatsApp messages, including any attached media (receipt photos, student documents), are stored securely on our database server for transaction tracking and coaching records.

Opt-Out: If you no longer wish to receive automated notifications via WhatsApp, you can reply with the word "STOP" directly to our WhatsApp chat or contact our admin office to be removed from the broadcast list.


4. Data Security & Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to third parties. We use trusted service providers to assist us in operating our platform, including:

  • Meta Platforms, Inc. for routing messages through the WhatsApp Business API.
  • Database servers and hosting providers for storing records securely.
  • Real-time chat infrastructure partners for administrative operations.

All access keys, tokens, passwords, and message contents are encrypted in transit and at rest using standard industry encryption protocols.


5. User Data Deletion Instructions

How to Request Your Data Deletion:

Under privacy regulations, users have the right to request deletion of their personal information from our databases. If you wish to delete your account, student details, contact numbers, or WhatsApp communication logs:

  1. Send an email to theacademyofgymnastics01@gmail.com with the subject line "Request for Data Deletion".
  2. Include the Student Name, Student ID/Number, and the registered Contact Number in the email body.
  3. Our administrative team will verify the request and permanently delete your student records, credentials, and message history within 14 business days.

6. Children's Privacy

Given that TAG is a gymnastics academy, we process information regarding children (under the age of 18). However, we collect this information only with explicit consent from a parent or legal guardian during registration. We do not knowingly allow children to register on the student portal directly without parental setup.
