Privacy Policy

Lantern Waste Academy | Effective date: October 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Lantern Waste Academy ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit lanternwasteacademy.com, learn.lanternwasteacademy.com, or buy one of our courses.

1. Information We Collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), billing details, support messages, and anything you type into our forms.
  • Purchase information: what you bought, when, and the amount. Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
  • Course account information: your login details and your course progress in our member area.
  • Automatic information: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring links, and similar data collected through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Information

  • To deliver your courses and give you access to the member area
  • To process payments, refunds, and our 14-day money-back guarantee
  • To answer support requests
  • To send purchase receipts, account notices, and course updates
  • To send marketing emails if you opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • To measure and improve our website and our ads
  • To prevent fraud, and to meet our legal obligations

3. Cookies, the Meta Pixel, and Advertising

We use cookies and similar tools to keep our site working, to understand how visitors use it, and to advertise.

We use the Meta Pixel, and we may use the Meta Conversions API, which sends similar event data from our servers to Meta. These tools tell Meta (Facebook and Instagram) about actions taken on our site, such as page views, sign-ups, and purchases. Meta may use this data, together with information it already has about you, to show you our ads, to measure how well the ads work, and to build audiences. Where we share data such as an email address with Meta, it is hashed (scrambled) before it is sent. Meta's own use of the data is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy (facebook.com/privacy/policy).

Your choices:

  • Change your ad settings at facebook.com/adpreferences.
  • Opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies at optout.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
  • Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work without them.

Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no common industry standard for these signals, our site does not currently respond to them.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with:

  • Service providers who help us run the business, including GoHighLevel (website hosting, forms, email, and the member area), Stripe (payments), and Meta (advertising and measurement)
  • Legal and safety recipients, when the law requires it or when needed to protect our rights, our customers, or others
  • A buyer or successor, if our business is sold or merged

Sharing data with Meta for ads may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, or as a "sale," under some US state laws. You can opt out as described in Section 8.

5. Email Marketing

If you join our list or buy a course, we may send you emails about courses and offers. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link and our mailing address, as the CAN-SPAM Act requires. We process unsubscribe requests promptly. We may still send transactional messages, such as receipts and account notices.

Text Messages (SMS): If you give us your mobile number and agree to receive texts, we may send course updates, account notices, and offers. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time, or HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of purchase.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except the service providers that deliver our messages.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active, and after that for as long as needed to provide support, keep records required for tax and accounting, settle disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need it, we delete it or remove anything that identifies you.

7. Security

We use reasonable safeguards, and we rely on trusted providers that encrypt payment data. No method of sending or storing data over the internet is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

8. Your US State Privacy Rights (including California CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and share, and to get a copy of it
  • Correct information that is inaccurate
  • Delete your personal information
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your information, and of targeted advertising
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information. The only sensitive information we collect is your account login and password, which we use solely to give you access to your account. We do not use or disclose it for any other purpose.
  • Not be treated differently for using these rights

How to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising: Email [email protected] with "Do Not Sell or Share" in the subject line, or submit a request through our Support page. You do not need to verify your identity to opt out. We will process your request within 15 business days. You can also limit ad tracking right away by changing your Meta ad settings and blocking cookies, as described in Section 3.

To make a request, use our Support page at https://lanternwasteacademy.com/support or email [email protected]. We will verify your identity before acting on a request. You may also have an authorized agent make the request for you. We will respond to your request within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why, and we may extend this by up to 45 more days. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision. We will respond to your appeal in writing within 45 days and explain our reasons. If we deny your appeal, you may contact your state Attorney General to submit a complaint.

9. Visitors from the EU, UK, and EEA (GDPR)

If you are in the EU, UK, or EEA, we process your data on these legal bases: to perform our contract with you (delivering your course), our legitimate interests (running and improving our business), your consent (marketing emails and non-essential cookies), and legal obligations. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your data, to receive a portable copy, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. Your data is processed in the United States, using appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

10. Children's Privacy

Our courses are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, as COPPA requires. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If the changes are significant, we may also notify you by email.
