Your privacy is important to us. This document explains how Barn Beacon Foothill safeguards and handles your personal information.
Information We Collect
When you interact with Barn Beacon Foothill's international cuisine creativity platform, we gather data to help us deliver richer educational experiences. This includes details you provide when creating an account, enrolling in learning programs, or reaching out to our support team.
- Personal identification information such as name, email address, and contact details
- Educational preferences and cooking skill levels you specify
- Learning progress data from our creativity programs
- Communication history when you contact our support team
- Technical details about your device and browser to optimize the platform
We also collect anonymous usage analytics to understand how learners interact with our platform. This helps us improve course content and platform functionality without identifying individual users.
How We Use Your Information
Your information serves purposes that directly enhance your learning experience on our platform. We process personal data to deliver educational materials, monitor your course progress, and offer personalized recommendations for skill development.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your data stays within our educational ecosystem and trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform.
Email communications include course updates, new program announcements, and educational resources related to international cuisine creativity. You can adjust these preferences or unsubscribe anytime via your account settings.

We store your information on secure servers located in India, in compliance with local data protection laws. Our technical team implements multiple layers of security, including encryption, restricted access controls, and regular security audits.
- SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
- Regular backup processes to safeguard against data loss
- Access controls limiting who can view personal information
- Annual security assessments by independent cybersecurity professionals
Despite protective measures, no online system is completely risk-free. We commit to notifying affected users within 72 hours if a data breach occurs that could compromise personal information.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Indian data protection laws and international privacy standards, you have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to all data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your account and related data.
To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the information provided below. We typically respond to data requests within 15 business days, though complex requests might take up to 30 days.
Deleting your account removes your profile, learning progress, and personal information from our active systems. However, we may retain anonymized usage data for platform improvement purposes.

All third-party partners sign agreements requiring them to protect your information to the same standards we maintain. They may only use your data for the specific services they provide to us.
Cookies and Tracking
Our site uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and remember your preferences. These small files help us recognize returning users and offer personalized content recommendations based on your interests in international cuisine.
You can manage cookie settings via your browser, though disabling certain cookies may limit some platform features. We use both session cookies that expire when you close your browser and persistent cookies that remember your preferences for future visits.

Barn Beacon Foothill's educational programs are designed for learners aged 16 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent. If we discover that a child under 16 has provided personal information, we will delete that information promptly.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should contact our privacy team immediately for assistance with account removal or data deletion.
