Information We Collect
The information we collect generally falls into three categories: (1) directory information provided by the organization that signs up for the Services (such as a school or community organization) about its students or participants; (2) information you provide when you register for or use the Services; and (3) tracking information we may collect as you use the Services.
Please see the section below captioned "How You May Opt Out of Our Information Uses" regarding your right to ask us not to use your information for certain purposes.
Directory Information Provided by Organizations
When a school or other organization signs up with SchoolCNXT, they provide us with a directory listing of their students or members. The directory information usually includes child’s name, date of birth, physical address, parents’ names, and parents’ contact information. Depending on the type of organization that is providing the directory, the information may also include the child’s grade, teacher assignment, and similar information relating to the activities in which the child participates.
We use directory information to contact parents about registering for the Services. Parents may elect to register for the Services, opt out of the Services, or do nothing. If you register for the Services, we may continue to use the directory information to customize the Services we provide to you. If you opt out of the Services, we will not contact you again (unless your information is submitted to us again for a different enrollment period or a different child or from a different organization). If you do nothing, we may contact you again over a reasonable period of time about registering for the Services.
Personal Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you choose to register for the Services, we may ask you to provide or confirm your child’s name, postal address, date of birth, gender identity, grade, teacher assignment, activities, or interests. We may also ask you to provide or confirm your name, postal address, phone number, and email address. We use this information to provide the Services to you, including authenticating you when you attempt to access the Services, sending you notifications on behalf of the school or other organization, and connecting you to other parents with common interests. The organization that provided your name to us and other parents who use the Services may use your information to include you in groups that they organize. We also use the information to customize your online experience, provide you with personalized email and text messages and to help us improve the Services. Please see the section below captioned “How You May Opt Out of Our Information Uses” for information about how you can limit our uses of your personal information.
Our Website and Mobile App may offer Registered Members the opportunity to share User Content (as that term is defined in our “Terms of Use”) – for instance, on blogs, message boards, or chat rooms. If you choose to use these features, or you allow your child to use these features, you should be aware that any personal information you submit through these features can be read, collected, or used by other Registered Members and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. Please note that SchoolCNXT is not responsible for any personal information you choose to submit via these public features.
