Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
KB Collective, LLC DBA Tyro Trades Academy (“TTA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have, including how our text messaging (SMS) program works.
How We Collect Consent
Tyro Trades Academy collects opt-in consent to receive text messages only when you voluntarily provide it. You can opt in by:
- Checking the SMS-consent box on a form on our website, or
- Telling our staff in person at our Wilson, North Carolina facility, or over the phone when you call or inquire.
When you provide your phone number, our staff is trained to ask whether you would like to opt in to SMS communications such as application and enrollment updates, class and cohort reminders, schedule changes, and important program notifications. You will be verbally informed that “Message and data rates may apply,” “Message frequency may vary,” and that you can “text HELP for support or more information and STOP to unsubscribe at any time, after which no further messages will be sent.” You will also be informed that your information will not be shared with third parties.
By submitting a form on our website and opting in to texts, you consent to receive text messages from Tyro Trades Academy at the number provided, including messages sent by autodialer. Consent is not a condition of enrollment or purchase. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP or using the unsubscribe link where available, and no further messages will be sent. Reply HELP for help.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information when you voluntarily submit it to us through our website forms, enrollment or program inquiries, or other interactions. This may include:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Any additional details you provide about your interest in our program
Providing a phone number allows Tyro Trades Academy to respond to your inquiry. Consent to receive SMS messages is obtained separately through an optional SMS-consent checkbox or another documented consent method. Providing a phone number does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive SMS marketing messages.
How We Use Information
The information you provide is used to:
- Respond to inquiries and enrollment requests
- Process applications, schedule interviews, and provide the program and services you request
- Improve our programs, services, and communications
- Send important updates about our programs and cohorts
We do not sell or share your personal information, including phone numbers, with third-party marketers.
Text Messaging & Mobile Opt-In
If you opt in to receive text messages from us, your mobile information will be kept confidential. Your phone number and consent details:
- Will not be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
- May be shared only when necessary for essential business operations (for example, to deliver the messages you requested).
- Are used solely for communication related to your inquiries, application, or enrollment.
SMS Privacy
Tyro Trades Academy may collect your mobile telephone number and SMS consent information when you voluntarily opt in to receive text messages from us. We use this information to respond to inquiries, provide application and enrollment support, send class and cohort reminders and schedule changes, communicate program updates, and provide other communications you have requested. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
No mobile opt-in information or text-message consent will be shared with, sold to, rented to, or disclosed to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. This restriction does not apply to service providers that help us deliver text messages solely on our behalf, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

Opt-Out Instructions
You have the right to opt out of receiving text messages or other communications from us at any time. To opt out of text messaging, reply STOP to any text message you receive from us. Once you opt out, you will no longer receive text messages from Tyro Trades Academy.
Data Sharing & Third-Party Involvement
We do not share any personal data, including text-message opt-in details, with third parties for their marketing purposes. However, we may share information with trusted service providers when necessary for essential business operations, such as:
- Processing applications and enrollment
- Communicating with you and scheduling interviews or classes
- Sending confirmations and reminders
All data sharing is conducted in compliance with applicable privacy laws and security standards.
Consent & Your Rights
By voluntarily providing your information through our website, phone calls, or text messaging, you consent to:
- The collection and use of your personal data as described in this policy
- Receiving communications you have requested, including application and program updates
- Opting in to text messaging if you provide your mobile number and check the SMS-consent box
You have the right to update, request, or delete your personal information at any time. To do so, email info@tyrotradesacademy.com and we will help.
