3. Information Concerning Minors

VAGA Modeling Academy provides programs that may serve individuals under 18.

Enrollment of a minor in VAGA Modeling Academy requires the involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians may be required to provide information and complete registration documents, agreements, releases, emergency information, and other required documentation on behalf of the minor.

VAGA does not intend for children to independently enroll themselves in academy programs without appropriate parent or guardian involvement.

If we become aware that personal information from a child has been submitted in a manner inconsistent with our procedures or applicable requirements, we may take reasonable steps to address or delete the information as appropriate.

Parents or legal guardians who have questions regarding information relating to their child may contact VAGA using the information provided below.

4. Payments

Academy payments are currently made primarily through Zelle, with checks also accepted where applicable.

When you use a third-party payment or financial service, information handled directly by that provider is subject to that provider's own privacy and security practices.

VAGA may retain appropriate transaction records for accounting, administrative, tax, and business purposes.

5. WhatsApp and Other Communications

The Enroll Now function on our website may direct prospective students or parents to communicate with VAGA through WhatsApp.

Information submitted through WhatsApp or another third-party communication platform is also subject to that platform's privacy practices.

VAGA may retain relevant communications for enrollment, customer service, scheduling, documentation, and legitimate business purposes.

6. Photographs and Videos

VAGA may photograph or record classes, rehearsals, photoshoots, showcases, events, and other academy activities.

For enrolled minors, VAGA's use of identifiable photographs or recordings for promotional purposes is subject to applicable parent or guardian consent and VAGA's relevant media-release documentation.

Submitting photographs or videos to VAGA for a casting, application, event, or other opportunity may also involve use of those materials for the purpose for which they were submitted.

7. Website Hosting and Service Providers

Our website is hosted and operated using services provided by Wix.

Wix and other service providers necessary to operate our website or business may process certain information on our behalf or through their platforms.

These providers maintain their own privacy policies and practices.

VAGA may also use service providers for functions such as communications, website hosting, analytics, payment services, event management, or other legitimate business operations.

8. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website and the services used to operate it may use cookies and similar technologies to enable website functionality, maintain security, understand website usage, remember preferences, or improve the visitor experience.

Some technologies may be provided directly by Wix or other services integrated with the website.

Visitors may be able to control certain cookies through their browser settings or through cookie controls made available on the website.

We seek to limit disclosures to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

VAGA takes reasonable administrative and organizational measures to protect personal information in our possession.

However, no website, electronic communication, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Data Retention

VAGA may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain appropriate student and business records, satisfy accounting or legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect legitimate business interests.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements and VAGA's recordkeeping practices.

For information concerning a minor student, VAGA may require the request to come from or be authorized by the student's parent or legal guardian.

Certain information may need to be retained when required by law or reasonably necessary for legitimate business, accounting, safety, contractual, or legal purposes.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services, including WhatsApp, social-media platforms, payment services, or other providers.
