How is Personal Information Secured?

HRL takes reasonable steps to maintain appropriate physical, technical and administrative security to help prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of personal information.  The Sites which store collected information have industry-standard security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under HRL’s control.  All of the information we collect is either stored electronically or is restricted in our offices.  Only personnel who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.  However, no data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be totally secure.  HRL strives to protect your personal information, but we cannot ensure or warrant any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk.  While we take these reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information, no system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

HRL is committed to keeping personal information as secure as possible during commerce transactions that involve credit card information.  Therefore, certain sections of the Sites may encrypt data using SSL or a comparable standard for all direct transactions that involve credit card or banking information.  This process allows HRL to send your credit card number and personal data over the Internet securely.  Once encrypted, only the credit card's authorization company has the ability to decrypt it.  HRL never displays your credit card number online.  Additionally, we store any personal information you have submitted on forms (i.e., your address, e-mail and billing information) on our secure server.

Privacy Policy Updates

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do so, we will post the new privacy policy on this page and change the date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to check the date of our privacy policy when you visit this Site for any updates or changes. We will notify you of any modified versions of the privacy policy that might materially affect the way we use or disclose your personal information.

Reservations Policy:

All attendees are required to have an advanced reservation. Reservations can be made online or by calling the location you wish to attend.

Attendance/ No Show Policy: Instruction begins according to reservation times and we are committed to delivering a complete class. Therefore, we ask that you arrive 10 minutes BEFORE class.

Cancellation requests made within 48 hours of an event will not be honored, unless we have a waiting list and can fill your slot(s).
