1. Scope, operator, and relationship to clinical services

This Privacy Policy describes how MBR Hunt LLC, doing business as The French Academy of Advanced Aesthetics (the “Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information in connection with the Academy’s websites and webpages, online school, registration and checkout, courses, videos, community areas, messages, marketing, and support services. MBR Hunt LLC also does business as The French NP, its clinical and aesthetic medical practice brand. The French Academy of Advanced Aesthetics and The French NP are trade names of the same legal entity; neither is a separate company.

For purposes of applicable privacy laws, MBR Hunt LLC is the controller, business, or organization responsible for the personal information described in this Policy, except where a third party independently determines why and how it processes information.

The Academy is hosted through LearnWorlds. LearnWorlds processes student and visitor information on our behalf for platform functions and may process limited information for its own security, operational, and legal purposes under its own notices.

This Policy applies only to personal information handled in connection with the Academy. It does not govern information collected by MBR Hunt LLC d/b/a The French NP in connection with clinical care, patient treatment, or other healthcare services. Information handled in connection with clinical services is governed by the applicable Notice of Privacy Practices and healthcare privacy obligations.

4. When and with whom we disclose information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described in this Policy:
  • LearnWorlds and its authorized subprocessors for website and school hosting, authentication, course delivery, video functionality, communications, analytics, support, and platform security.
  • Stripe, financial institutions, tax tools, and fraud-prevention providers for checkout, payment processing, tax calculation, refunds, fraud prevention, and disputes.
  • Google, including Google Analytics, and Meta when analytics or advertising features are enabled, subject to applicable consent and privacy controls.
  • Klaviyo or another email and marketing provider if enabled for communications, forms, preference management, segmentation, and campaign measurement.
  • Professional licensing authorities, public registries, and credential-verification providers to confirm eligibility and professional status.
  • Other authorized Academy users. Profile information, community posts, comments, and other content submitted to community areas may be visible to them. Private messages are visible to intended recipients and may be accessible to us and our platform providers when reasonably necessary for moderation, support, security, legal compliance, or enforcement of our Terms.
  • Professional advisers, accountants, auditors, insurers, consultants, and vendors that help us operate, secure, administer, or evaluate the Academy.

Our providers are permitted to process information for the services they provide and as otherwise allowed by their agreements and applicable law. Some providers may independently control limited processing, such as payment-network, fraud-prevention, security, or legal-compliance activities.

5. Cookies, analytics, advertising, and email technologies

We use or may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, checkout, course delivery, preferences, analytics, email measurement, and advertising. Depending on which features are enabled, providers may include LearnWorlds, Stripe, Google Analytics, Meta, and Klaviyo. Naming a provider in this Policy does not itself activate that provider; information is transmitted only when the relevant integration or feature is enabled.

Where applicable law requires consent, nonessential analytics, advertising, and marketing technologies will not be activated until consent is provided. Available cookie controls may allow you to accept, reject, or select categories and later change your choices. Browser settings and legally recognized universal opt-out mechanisms may also apply. Please review our separate Cookie Policy for detailed categories, anticipated technologies, durations, and controls.

We do not sell personal information for money. If analytics or advertising integrations are enabled, disclosures to those providers may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or processing for targeted advertising under some U.S. state laws. Where an applicable law grants the right, you may opt out through the Academy cookie-preference tool, a supported legally recognized universal opt-out signal, or a privacy request to us.

6. Email and communications choices

Marketing consent is separate from acceptance of the Academy Terms and is not required to purchase or access a course. You may unsubscribe from promotional email at any time using the link in the message or by contacting us. We may continue to send transactional, account, security, purchase, legal, or course-service communications where appropriate.

If Klaviyo or another provider is enabled, we may use information such as email address, subscription status, consent records, purchases, course interests, website activity, device information, and email opens or clicks to administer subscriptions, measure engagement, segment audiences, and personalize permitted communications. Email pixels and link tracking may be restricted by your device, email-client, and privacy settings.

7. International processing and transfers

We are located in the United States. LearnWorlds is established in Cyprus, and our service providers and their subprocessors may process information in the United States, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other countries. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those where you live.

Where required, we and our providers rely on recognized safeguards for restricted transfers, such as adequacy decisions, approved contractual protections, or standard contractual clauses. You may contact us to request additional information about safeguards relevant to your personal information, subject to lawful confidentiality and security limitations.

If applicable law requires us to designate a local representative, we will make the representative's identity and contact information available through this Policy or another legally permitted notice. Until then, international users may direct privacy questions and requests to us using the contact information in Section 18.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide ongoing course access, maintain records, comply with law, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements. Retention depends on the record, relationship, platform configuration, and applicable legal requirements.
Record Category General Retention Approach
Account, enrollment, progress, and completion records For the duration of the account and course availability, and afterward as reasonably needed to document purchases, completion, access, and contractual obligations.
Professional credentials and verification While eligibility or access remains relevant and afterward as reasonably needed for audit, safety, dispute, fraud-prevention, and legal purposes. We avoid retaining unnecessary identity documents when a registry check is sufficient.
Payments, tax, accounting, and disputes Generally up to seven years after the relevant transaction or longer if required for an audit, dispute, chargeback, tax matter, or legal claim.
Community content and messages Until deleted, removed, or the relevant feature/account closes, subject to moderation, security, backup, evidentiary, and legal needs. Content visible to recipients may remain in their possession.
Support and service communications For as long as reasonably needed to resolve the issue, maintain service history, improve support, enforce Terms, or address claims.
Marketing records Until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent, or we no longer need the record. We may retain a suppression record to honor an opt-out.
Cookie, analytics, advertising, and security data According to the applicable platform configuration, cookie duration, consent choice, security need, and provider retention settings described in our Cookie Policy or provider notices.

We may retain deidentified or aggregated information where permitted by law and may keep information longer when reasonably necessary for litigation, investigation, legal hold, security, or compliance. Providers may retain information under their agreements and independent legal obligations. Deletion from active systems may not immediately remove information from encrypted backups, which are overwritten or isolated under routine schedules.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, taking into account the nature of the information and our operations. Measures may include access controls, authentication, vendor oversight, staff and contractor confidentiality obligations, secure payment processing, system monitoring, backups, and incident-response procedures.

No online system, transmission, or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials, using a unique password, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.

10. Your privacy rights and choices

Depending on where you live, the law that applies, and whether a legal threshold or exception is satisfied, you may have rights to:
  • Know whether we process your personal information and access or receive a copy of it.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Request deletion of personal information.
  • Receive portable information in a usable format.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
  • Withdraw consent without affecting processing completed before withdrawal.
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling, where applicable.
  • Appeal a decision on a privacy request, where applicable.
  • Lodge a complaint with an applicable privacy or data-protection authority.

These rights are subject to applicable definitions, legal exceptions, retention obligations, and identity verification. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

To submit a request, email info@thefrenchnp.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” Describe your request and the account or email address involved. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and authority. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted, but we may require proof of authorization and verification of the individual.

If applicable law gives you the right to appeal, reply to our decision or email info@thefrenchnp.com with the subject “Privacy Appeal.” Identify the original request and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.

11. Supplemental US State disclosures

This section applies only to the extent a U.S. state privacy law covers our processing. The categories below describe personal information we may collect and disclose for business purposes. We do not necessarily collect every example about every person.

Category Examples Sources Recipients/Business Purposes

We do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a separate right to limit under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. We do not offer financial incentives or price differences in exchange for personal information.

We do not sell personal information for money. When optional advertising technologies are enabled, identifiers and Internet or activity information may be disclosed to analytics or advertising providers in a manner that some laws call sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Where required, you may opt out using our cookie controls, a supported legally recognized universal opt-out mechanism, or the request process in Section 10.

12. Additional information for EEA, UK, and Swiss users

Where applicable, you may exercise the rights described in Section 10 and object at any time to processing for direct marketing. You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the country where you live or work, or where you believe a violation occurred. UK users may contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, and Swiss users may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

We do not intend to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Automated fraud, security, or eligibility tools may flag an account or transaction for review, but we may use human review before making a consequential enrollment or access decision where required by law.

13. Community areas, private messages, and public content

Community features are designed for authorized Academy users, but information shared there should not be treated as private or confidential. Other users may view, copy, or retain posts, comments, profile information, and content visible to them. Private messages are disclosed to intended recipients and may be accessed as described in Section 4. Do not post patient information, confidential business information, or information you do not want disclosed to the applicable audience.

We may moderate, preserve, restrict, or remove content and investigate reports for safety, security, legal compliance, support, or enforcement. We do not undertake to monitor every post or message.

14. Age and professional eligibility

The Academy is intended exclusively for eligible licensed healthcare professionals who are at least 18 years old. Eligible professions are MD/DO, NP/APRN, PA/PA-C, RN, DDS/DMD, and international equivalents of those credentials. Individuals under 18 and individuals who do not satisfy the applicable professional requirements may not create an account, purchase, or use the Academy.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a person under 18 submitted personal information, we may close the account and delete the information, subject to applicable legal, security, transaction, and record-retention requirements. A parent or guardian who believes a minor provided information may contact us.

15. Third-party services and links

The Academy may contain links to or integrations with third-party services. Those parties may independently collect and process information under their own terms and privacy notices. This Policy does not control independent third-party practices, and we encourage you to review the relevant notices.

16. Legal disclosures and business transfers

We may preserve or disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with law or legal process; respond to government requests; protect the rights, property, safety, privacy, or security of MBR Hunt LLC, the Academy, The French NP, users, patients, the public, or others; detect or prevent fraud or misuse; enforce agreements; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be reviewed, transferred, or disclosed as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate protections.

17. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our services, technologies, vendors, practices, or legal obligations. We will post the revised Policy and update the effective or last-updated date. If a change materially expands how we use previously collected personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
