Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Beyond Now collects about students, parents and visitors, how we use it and the choices you have. Many of the people we serve are teenagers, so we collect only what we need to run safe, well-organized experiences and to bring students together with the partners who make Beyond Now possible.

Last updated November 2026

Who we are

Beyond Now is operated by Musiker Discovery Programs, Inc., doing business as Summer Discovery and Beyond Now ("Beyond Now," "we," "us" or "our"), One Stamford Plaza, 263 Tresser Boulevard, 9th Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. This policy applies to gobeyondnow.com, our emails and texts, and the information we collect at Summits, Pop-Ups and Residencies.

Information we collect

We collect information you give us, information collected automatically when you use our website and information from our service providers.

Contact and account details for parents, guardians and students 18 and older: name, email address, phone number, billing address and login details.
Student details: name, date of birth or age, school, grade, city and, when needed, the student's own email or phone number.
Order details: what you bought, when and for whom. Card payments are handled by Shopify and its payment partners, and we do not receive your full card number.
Residency and safety details: emergency contacts, travel plans, dietary needs, and medical, allergy and medication information provided on required forms.
Event details: check-in and attendance records, sessions chosen and feedback.
Photos and video taken at our experiences, and any videos or content you send us.
Messages and form submissions, including contact, partner, Teach with Beyond Now and Advisory Board forms.
Device and usage information: IP address, browser, pages viewed, links clicked and similar data collected through cookies and similar tools.

How we use information

To process orders, create accounts and register students for experiences.
To plan and run experiences safely, including check-in, supervision, accommodations and emergencies.
To send confirmations, reminders, pre-arrival information and follow-up messages.
To send news and offers about Beyond Now and Summer Discovery, if you have not opted out.
To run Membership, referral credits and promotions.
To share photos and video of our experiences, as described in our Terms of Service.
To improve our website, experiences and advertising, and to understand how visitors use our site.
To prevent fraud, protect our students, staff and partners, and meet our legal obligations.

Cookies and advertising

We and our partners use cookies, pixels and similar tools to keep the website working, remember your cart, measure traffic and show Beyond Now ads on other sites and apps, such as Meta, Google and TikTok. You can control cookies through your browser settings and our cookie banner, and opt out of interest-based ads at optout.networkadvertising.org and optout.aboutads.info. Turning off cookies may affect how the website works.

We do not knowingly use the information of students under 16 for targeted advertising.

We share personal information as needed to run Beyond Now and to connect students with the organizations that support our experiences:

With service providers who work for us, such as Shopify for our store and checkout, our email and text message providers, and our analytics and event check-in tools. They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
With Summer Discovery and its affiliates, which run Beyond Now's programs and operations.
With our partners, including national partners, sponsors, Pop-Up and Residency hosts, venues and other third parties that support Beyond Now. We may share contact details, attendance and event information, and the interests you tell us about so that partners can run and secure their part of an experience, provide offers, information and opportunities they believe may interest you, and measure their participation. Partners use this information under their own privacy policies.
When you ask us to or give your consent.
When required by law, to protect the safety of any person, or as part of a merger or sale of our business.

Some state laws treat sharing with partners for their own marketing as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You can opt out at any time by emailing info@gobeyondnow.com or using the Your Privacy Choices link at the bottom of our website. We do not share the personal information of students under 16 with partners for their own marketing unless we have opt-in consent from the student or, for students under 13, a parent or guardian.

Children and teens

Beyond Now experiences are for students 14 and older, and our website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it. For students under 18, a parent or guardian makes or approves the purchase and provides the student's information. Parents and guardians who have questions about their student's information can contact us at any time.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes in this policy, to meet our contracts and to comply with the law. Medical and safety information for a Residency is kept only as long as needed for that Residency and any related follow-up, and then deleted or de-identified.

How we protect information

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and staff training, to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access. No system is completely secure, and information sent by email is less protected.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Know what personal information we have about you and receive a copy of it.
Correct information that is inaccurate.
Ask us to delete your information, subject to exceptions such as records we must keep by law or for a student who is currently enrolled.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including sharing with our partners, and of targeted advertising.
Appeal a decision we make about your request.

To make a request, email info@gobeyondnow.com or call 332.207.2385. We will need to verify your identity before responding. A parent or guardian may make a request for a student under 18, and you may use an authorized agent. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.

Visitors outside the United States

Beyond Now is based in the United States, and your information will be stored and processed there. For our London Summit and visitors from the United Kingdom and European Union, we process personal information to perform our contract with you, based on our legitimate interests in running and improving Beyond Now, to meet legal obligations, and with your consent where required. You may have additional rights under UK and EU law, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Email and text choices

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails with the link in any email. You can stop text messages at any time by replying STOP. We will still send messages about orders and experiences you have booked.

Other websites and social media

Our website links to other sites and social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok, which have their own privacy policies. This policy does not apply to them, and we are not responsible for their practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page with a new date, and let you know by email if the changes are significant.
