  • Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the Site and Services (e.g., Supabase for database hosting, Resend for transactional email, Sanity for content management, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Tidio live chat). These vendors are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to MBI.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations (including applicable federal and Georgia record-retention requirements for educational institutions), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Student education records are typically retained for a minimum of five years following a student's last date of attendance.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
