Privacy Policy

Last revised date: Dec 11, 2025

LAKE Academy (“LAKE Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy, safety, and rights of all individuals who interact with our physical campus, website, online platforms, digital products, online courses, and Skool Community. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, safeguard, and disclose personal information. It applies to all students, parents, guardians, online customers, community members, visitors, purchasers of digital products, and any individuals accessing our services in person or virtually. By accessing our website, purchasing our online products, enrolling in our online courses, or using any LAKE Academy digital platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

Scope and Application: This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected by LAKE Academy through our website, digital or online programs, email communications, in-person inquiries, and our online Skool Community platform. It covers information collected from students enrolled at our physical campus, families and guardians supporting those students, purchasers of online products who may never physically attend the school, and any individual participating in our digital learning environment. This Policy extends to the handling of information across multiple jurisdictions, recognizing that individuals may access our services from various regions and countries.

 

Information We Collect: LAKE Academy collects different types of information depending on how individuals engage with us. We collect information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, address, billing details, student information, form submissions, applications, inquiry messages, and personal details entered when purchasing online products or registering for online courses. When using our Skool Community platform, we may also collect information you submit through posts, comments, messages, uploaded files, or participation activities. We collect this information to deliver services, operate programs, and maintain community standards. We also collect information automatically when you visit our website or online platforms. This includes device type, IP address, browser information, geographic location, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral links. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to enhance user experience and improve our digital services. Information may also be collected through third-party partners such as payment processors, email marketing tools, analytics services, and learning management platforms.

How We Use Your Information: LAKE Academy uses collected information to operate, support, and enhance our educational programs, physical campus operations, online products, digital courses, and community engagement tools. We use your information to respond to inquiries, process purchases, manage online course access, deliver digital content, communicate updates or service announcements, and monitor the safety and integrity of our virtual environment. Information may also be used to improve our website functionality, analyze usage trends, support security measures, and comply with legal or administrative requirements. Personal information provided to LAKE Academy is used only for the specific purpose for which it was submitted, unless otherwise required or permitted by law. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Consent and Parental Authorization: Where consent is required, LAKE Academy will seek consent from the appropriate individual. For in-person students who are minors, we seek consent from parents or legal guardians. For online products, purchasers consent to the use of their personal information for transaction fulfillment and the delivery of digital content. For participation in online learning activities and community interactions, consent may be required based on the nature of the engagement. Consent may be withdrawn except where retention is legally required for educational, administrative, or financial reasons. 

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Cookies are used to personalize and improve your experience on our website. These technologies allow us to remember preferences, analyze usage patterns, and enhance functionality. Cookies do not store personally identifiable information unless it is voluntarily submitted. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; however, doing so may limit access to some features of our website or online learning platforms.

 

Analytics, Monitoring, and Usage Tracking: To maintain the quality and accessibility of our digital services, LAKE Academy uses analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to monitor usage trends. This helps us understand how visitors navigate our website, where our traffic originates, and what content is most accessed. The information collected includes IP addresses, device types, location information, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This information is anonymous and used solely to improve functionality, performance, and user experience.

 

Third-Party Websites and External Links: Our website, courses, and Skool Community may include links to third-party websites or services for convenience or educational purposes. These external sites operate independently and are not governed by this Privacy Policy. LAKE Academy is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or actions of any third-party websites, apps, or services. Users are encouraged to review the privacy statements of external sites before providing personal information.

Security and Protection of Information: LAKE Academy employs industry-standard safeguards to protect personal and sensitive information. This includes encryption, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, access controls, staff training, secure data storage practices, and regular system monitoring. Although we take significant measures to safeguard personal data, no electronic system is infallible. By using our website or digital services, you acknowledge the inherent risks of online communication and agree that LAKE Academy is not responsible for unauthorized access, breaches, or incidents beyond our reasonable control. Payment transactions for online products or courses are processed through secure third-party gateways. LAKE Academy does not store full credit card information on our servers.

Public and Non-Secured Communications: Information shared via social media, public forums, blog comments, or community postings is publicly accessible. Users should exercise caution when posting personal information in areas visible to others. LAKE Academy reserves the right to moderate or remove content that violates our policies, threatens safety, or conflicts with our mission and values.

Children’s Privacy: We comply with all applicable privacy laws related to minors, including COPPA for U.S.-based users. Personal information about students is collected only with appropriate parental or guardian consent and is used strictly for educational, administrative, or safety purposes. We do not knowingly collect information from children online without permission.

Data Retention: LAKE Academy retains personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. Records related to student information, financial transactions, or administrative operations may be retained for specific, legally mandated timeframes.

International Access and Data Transfers: Individuals accessing the LAKE Academy website, Skool Community, or online programs from outside the Philippines or the United States acknowledge and consent to the processing and storage of their information in the jurisdictions in which LAKE Academy operates. By using our services, you agree to the transfer of information across national borders when necessary for service delivery.

Online Purchases, Digital Courses, and E-Commerce Protections: When purchasing online courses, digital content, or educational materials, users acknowledge that these products are provided for educational and informational purposes only. They are not professional, medical, psychological, or legal advice. LAKE Academy makes no guarantees regarding user outcomes, academic performance, or personal results based on online course participation or use of purchased materials. All digital purchases are final unless a separate written policy states otherwise. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials and preventing unauthorized access to their purchased materials. LAKE Academy is not liable for technical issues, interruptions, device failures, or user error that prevents access to digital products.

Skool Community Participation and Online Engagement (Liability Shield): LAKE Academy uses Skool as its communication, community, and course-delivery platform. Participation in the Skool Community requires adherence to community guidelines, respectful conduct, and proper use of educational materials. Users agree not to harass, harm, threaten, or misuse communication tools or distribute unlawful, harmful, or copyrighted content without permission. LAKE Academy is not responsible for the actions, statements, opinions, or content shared by community members inside the Skool platform. We do not monitor every interaction and cannot control user-generated content. Members participate at their own risk. LAKE Academy reserves the right to remove members from the platform for violations of community standards, misuse of materials, or behaviors that compromise safety, integrity, or compliance. Users also understand that technical issues or platform-related outages within Skool are outside the control of LAKE Academy, and LAKE Academy is not responsible for temporary or permanent loss of access to the community or materials due to system failures or third-party platform issues.

Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, LAKE Academy, its founders, owners, staff, employees, instructors, volunteers, contractors, affiliates, and representatives are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to use of the website or online platforms, participation in online courses or the Skool Community, purchase or use of digital products, technical interruptions, errors, or losses, user-generated content, reliance on information provided in courses or materials, actions of other users or community members, and unauthorized access or data breaches beyond our reasonable control. By using LAKE Academy’s services, you agree to release LAKE Academy from any claims, demands, or liabilities arising from your participation.

Indemnification: Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LAKE Academy and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses—including legal fees—arising from their misuse of content, violation of this Privacy Policy, participation in the Skool Community, upload of materials, or actions that harm others or the Academy.

Policy Changes: AKE Academy may modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in laws, services, technologies, or operational practices. Updates will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use of our platforms and services signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
