PMV Educational Advocacy (“PMVEA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our services support families and students, including children under 13, so we follow the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

• Parents/Guardians and adult clients who visit our site, contact us, or use our services.
   
• Children under 13 (“children”) only with verifiable parental consent as described below.
   

We collect only what is reasonably necessary to provide our services.

Information you provide:

• Parent/guardian and student names, contact details, availability.
   
• Educational and support information shared by a parent/guardian (e.g., IEP/504 documents, evaluation summaries, school reports), goals, preferences.
   
• Messages, intake forms, and scheduling details.
   
• Payment information processed by our payment provider (we do not store full card numbers).
   

Information collected automatically (site):

• Basic technical data like IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.
   
• Cookies or similar technologies (you can manage these in your browser).
   
• [If used: privacy-friendly analytics such as aggregate traffic counts.]
   

We do not knowingly collect geolocation, biometric data, or social security numbers.

• Provide, schedule, and improve services and resources.
   
• Communicate with you about appointments, materials, and updates.
   
• Personalize recommendations and track requested changes/goals.
   
• Maintain security, prevent misuse, and meet legal obligations.
   

We do not sell personal information.

We do not allow children to create accounts or submit information without parent/guardian involvement. When a parent/guardian asks us to work with a child under 13, we obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing that child’s personal information.

How we obtain verifiable consent (one or more of the following):

• A signed consent form returned by email or e-signature.
   
• A brief video call with the parent/guardian.
   
• A nominal payment transaction (to verify adult status).
   
• A government-ID check performed visually during a call, without retaining a copy.
   

Parent/guardian rights under COPPA:
At any time, a parent/guardian may:

• Review the child’s personal information.
   
• Request deletion of the child’s information.
   
• Withdraw consent and refuse further collection or use.
  To exercise these rights, email laura@pmvea.com. We may take steps to verify your identity.
   

We only access documents (e.g., IEPs, assessment reports) that a parent/guardian chooses to share. We handle such information confidentially and use it solely to provide advocacy and mentoring services. PMVEA is not a school and is not subject to FERPA, but we apply comparable care and privacy practices.

Payments are handled by a third-party processor. We receive confirmation of payment and limited details (e.g., last 4 digits, date) but not full card numbers.

We share information only as needed to run our business and as authorized by you:

• Service providers (e.g., secure hosting, email, scheduling, payment processing) bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
   
• Legal reasons (e.g., to comply with law or protect rights, safety, or security).
   
• With your direction (e.g., coordinating with schools, clinicians, or attorneys).
   

We do not permit third parties to use children’s information for their own marketing.

We may use cookies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand aggregate site usage. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or disable cookies; some features may not function without them.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep information only as long as needed to provide services, meet legal/financial obligations, or resolve disputes. You may request deletion at any time (see Your choices).

• Access/Correction/Deletion: Email laura@pmvea.com to request a copy, correction, or deletion of your (or your child’s) information.
   
• Withdraw consent: Parents/guardians can withdraw consent for children’s data at any time.
   
• Communications: You can opt out of non-essential emails.
   

Our site does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals and does not serve interest-based ads to children.

Our site may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing information.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new effective date and, for material changes, provide a notice on the site or via email.

Effective date: September 22, 2025

“PMV,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PMV Educational Advocacy and Pure Melodic Vibrations, owned by Laura Piccolo. We provide educational-advocacy services (e.g., file/evaluation reviews, strategy sessions, ongoing advocacy, workshops) and holistic-wellness services (e.g., Energetic Alignment, Intuitive Mentoring, sound experiences, The Transformation Game).

By visiting our website, scheduling, purchasing, or attending any session/event (virtual or in-person), you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.

Our services are complementary and educational. We do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical/mental-health conditions, and we are not a law firm. Nothing on the site or in a session is medical, mental-health, or legal advice. Always consult your licensed clinicians and/or attorney for advice specific to you.

• Share accurate information (health considerations, devices/implants, pregnancy, recent surgery, allergies/sensitivities, accommodations, school status).
   
• Use your own judgment; you remain responsible for decisions and outcomes.
   
• For minors: a parent/guardian must provide consent and participate as appropriate.
   
• For advocacy: you are responsible for final submissions, filings, and decisions with districts/agencies.
   

Sessions are consent-based; touch (if any) is optional. Some tools (e.g., strong vibrations, essential oils, magnets, heat) may be adjusted or omitted to respect sensitivities, implants (e.g., pacemaker), pregnancy, or other conditions. If you feel discomfort at any time, say so and we will pause or modify.

• The studio is sacred, by appointment only, and not used by anyone unless we are in session.
   
• Please arrive on time; late arrivals may reduce your session length.
   
• Some services are available virtually (notably Intuitive Mentoring and advocacy).
   

• We do not bill insurance. HSA/FSA may be used for eligible services/supplies—check your plan.
   
• Payment is due at booking unless otherwise noted.
   
• Payments are processed by a third-party provider; we do not store full card numbers.
   

• You may reschedule 24+ hours before your appointment (subject to availability).
   
• Changes within 24 hours are non-refundable; the fee is forfeited.
   
• No-shows are non-refundable.
   
• Packages/memberships/special events may have additional terms posted at purchase.
   
• Gift certificates (if offered) are non-refundable, transferable once, and must be used before the stated expiration.
   

• Typical durations: Strategy Session ~2 hours; Transformation Game ~2.5–4 hours; other services as listed.
   
• Individual experiences vary; we do not guarantee particular outcomes or timelines.
   

Client stories and testimonials reflect personal experiences. They are not promises of results for all clients.

All site content, session materials, handouts, graphics, logos, recordings, and program curricula are owned by PMV or licensed to us. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without written permission. Personal, non-commercial use is permitted.

We maintain a respectful, inclusive environment. We may remove/decline participants for disruptive or unsafe behavior without refund.

Our site may link to or embed third-party services (e.g., scheduling, payments, video). Use of those services is governed by their terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

Your use of the site and services is also governed by our Privacy Policy (COPPA-aware for children under 13). Parents/guardians may review, delete, or withdraw consent for a child’s data as outlined there.

By contacting us or booking, you consent to receive service-related emails/messages (confirmations, reminders, follow-ups). You may opt out of non-essential marketing at any time.

A parent/guardian must book for minors and remain the primary contact. If we suspect abuse, neglect, or imminent harm, we may be required by law to report to appropriate authorities.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PMV and its owner, contractors, and affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, or profits arising from your use of the site or services. Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid for the service giving rise to the claim.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PMV, its owner, and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the services, or your violation of applicable law or third-party rights.

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., severe weather, power/internet outages, illness, emergencies).

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Venue for any permitted action lies in the state or federal courts located in New Hampshire.

Before filing a claim, both parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution through a conversation or mediation. If unresolved, claims may proceed in court as above. You may remove this clause if you prefer.

We may update these Terms occasionally. The updated date will appear at the top of this page. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
