1. Introduction

American Plumbing Academy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your personal data when you access our website or use our services.

2. What We Collect

Personal Information

Submitted data, such as name, email, phone number, address, billing and payment information, when you register, enroll, make purchases, or contact us.
Usage information, such as IP addresses, device/browser type, pages visited, referral and demographic data collected via cookies or similar tracking technologies during your visit (americanairconditioning.com).

3. How We Use Your Information

To provide, personalize, and manage our courses, resources, online store, and customer support.
To process payments—credit card details are transmitted securely (via SSL) and not stored post‑transaction (American Plumbing Institute).
To communicate updates, offers, newsletters, or materials, unless you have opted out.
To monitor and improve our website performance and user experience, using aggregated or anonymous information.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We utilize cookies and related technologies to recognize you, enhance your site experience, remember your preferences, and record site usage. You may disable cookies via your browser settings, though some functionality may be affected (All American Plumbing Heating & Air Inc.).

5. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes, except as required by law or to protect our legal rights (All American Plumbing Heating & Air Inc.).
We may share information with third-party service providers (e.g. payment processors, hosting, analytics) to support our operations—only under confidentiality agreements.
We may disclose data to comply with legal obligations, to address investigations or legal claims, or to protect the security or rights of our users or Academy.

6. Security of Data

We implement industry-standard safeguards, including SSL encryption and restricted employee access. While we strive to protect your data, no method of storage or transmission is fully secure—so we cannot guarantee absolute security (American Plumbing Institute, All American Plumbing Heating & Air Inc.).
