We do
not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it by
sending us e-mail, participating in a survey, or completing an on-line form.
Personal information submitted will not be transferred to any non-affiliated
third parties unless otherwise stated at the time of collection. When a user
submits personally identifiable information it is used only for the purpose
stated at the time of collection.
Consent
Where
consent for the use and disclosure of personal information is required, the
school will seek consent from the appropriate person. In the case of a student’s personal information, the school
will seek the consent from the parent.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser that allows the website to
“remember” your preferences such as calendar settings and site bookmarks on the
site from visit to visit, or to maintain your “logged in” status when visiting
protected areas. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site. Web browsers have settings allowing you
to reject cookies, or selectively accept cookies, or delete cookies previously
accepted. Please be aware that rejecting or deleting cookies from our website
may make certain functions unavailable to you.
Log
Files
Like most standard website servers we use website statistic packages such as
Google Analytics to analyze trends in how our website is accessed and utilized.
Information monitored includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, geographic
location of visitors (country, city), browser type, internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, time spent on
pages, and keywords used to find our site via search engines. This
information is anonymous and cannot be directly linked to individual users. We may use it to
identify high-use or low-use areas of the site, pinpoint problem areas of the
site, analyze broad demographic trends in our visitors, and make decisions
about how to make it easier for people to find and navigate our website.
Links
This website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' personal information.
Whenever users submit personal information (such as contact info or credit card
info) via online forms, registration, or online purchase, upon submission that
information is encrypted via the highest level of SSL (Secured Sockets Layer)
available. Servers that store
personally identifiable information are in a secure environment. Under no
circumstances are credit card numbers permanently stored on our website
servers.
The
Carolina Day School Family Directory is in a password-protected area of the
website and can only be accessed with proper login credentials. Parents and
students are asked not to share their login information with anyone else.
Non-secured
Communications
Posts
