We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not collect any information from anyone we know is under 13 years of age unless we obtain consent from their parent or legal guardian. The type of information collected may include necessary personal information to register for an event, request further information from us, submit or receive information related to school work or school related activities, or for other internal school functions. Such information may include the child’s name, age, address, email address, school grade, school name, student identification number, and the name, address, phone number, and email address of the child’s parent or legal guardian.
Consent of Parent or Legal Guardian.
If consent has not been previously obtained from the parent or legal guardian of the child, we will notify the parent or legal guardian by email and request consent to continue to communicate with the child or to maintain the information. If consent is not received within a reasonable time, the information will be deleted from our systems and we will cease communicating with the child.
We Will Not Disclose the Information.
We will not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties any person’s personally identifiable information. This does not include necessary disclosures to trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our school business, managing our marketing and advertising programs, or providing services to you or your child, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
A parent or legal guardian has the option to agree to the collection of personal information from the child without consenting to disclosure of information to our trusted third parties. However, denying such consent may affect the child’s ability to use certain features of the Websites or to participate in certain school events or activities.
We may also release information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Revoking Consent. At any time, a parent or legal guardian may revoke his/her consent, refuse to allow an us to further use or collect their child’s personal information, and direct us to delete the information (except that required for record keeping purposes). In such event, we may terminate any service provided to the child, but only if the information at issue is reasonably necessary for the child’s participation in that activity.
Access to the Information
At the request of a parent or legal guardian, we will disclose the general kinds of personal information we have collect online from a child as well as the specific information collected from a child who visited our Websites. Prior to providing such information, we will use reasonable steps to verify the identity of the child’s parent or legal guardian.
If you are a resident of California, in addition to the rights set forth in this Privacy Policy, you generally have the right to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide this information if it adopts and discloses to the public in its privacy policy a practice of not disclosing a user’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the user first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying California users of their rights to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you have requested us to do so, or have otherwise consented, and then subject to your right to opt-out of sharing your personal information for third party marketing purposes.
Please note that whenever you opt-in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use your information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
California users may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing: info@HHCAschools.com. Please note that we only are required to respond to one request per user each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our website is not set up to respond to browser “do not track” signals.
