Privacy Policy
Who we are
OrchardChick CEU Academy offers online continuing education courses for holders of Florida FDACS pesticide and fertilizer licenses and certificates. Contact: academy@occeuacademy.com.
What we collect
When you create an account: your name, FDACS license or certificate number, mailing address, home and business phone numbers, and email address. While you take a course: your lesson progress, the dates and times you start and finish, your quiz and exam results, and the certificate issued to you.
Why we collect it
- To deliver the course and track that you complete it in order.
- To fill in your Record of Attendance (form DACS-13325).
- To report your attendance to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), as continuing education rules require.
- To answer your questions and send course messages, such as your receipt and certificate.
Who we share it with
- FDACS, for continuing education reporting.
- LearnWorlds, the platform that hosts our school and stores your account and course records.
- Our payment processor, which handles your payment. We never see or store your full card number.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may also disclose information when the law requires it, such as in response to a valid legal request.
Keeping it safe
Your account is protected by your password, and the site uses secure (https) connections. No online system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and don't share it.
Email lists
You can join our monthly newsletter or the Spanish-version list with just your email address and your consent; no license number is needed. We use it only to send what you signed up for: the newsletter, or the news that the Spanish course is open. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask to be removed at any time.
Who our courses are for
Our courses are for adults who hold a pesticide or fertilizer license or certificate issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), such as the Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Application certificate. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Links to other sites
Some lessons link to outside resources, such as county ordinances or UF/IFAS publications. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
How long we keep it
FDACS requires providers to give a learner a duplicate attendance record on request for one year. We keep course and attendance records for anyone who completed a course for at least 4 years, one full license renewal cycle, so we can help at renewal time. Free accounts (no course purchased) that haven't signed in for 12 months are closed after a 14-day email reminder. Accounts with a course purchase aren't closed for inactivity.
Your choices
You can see and update your profile at any time under Account. To ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected or deleted, email academy@occeuacademy.com. Records we're required to keep for FDACS may need to stay until that period ends.
