Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
St. Paul’s Episcopal School (St. Paul's) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting any personal information you share with us. You can visit our website without revealing personally identifiable information. In some cases, however, we may ask for personally identifiable information in order to provide the services you request. Such personally identifiable information will be used by St. Paul's only to conduct official school business and will never be disseminated by St. Paul's to any unaffiliated third party except as set forth in this Privacy Policy. All of the information that we collect from you is subject to this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (Privacy Policy). By using this website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to St. Paul's’ collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Terms of Use
The St. Paul's website is intended to provide news and information about St. Paul's. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of content. No part of this website or its contents - including, but not limited to, the St. Paul's logo - may be copied, reproduced, modified, retransmitted, distributed, published, commercially exploited, or otherwise transferred without the prior written permission from St. Paul's.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
St. Paul's does not track, collect or distribute personally identifiable information about website visitors that is not voluntarily provided by those website visitors. However, we do collect some information from website visits to help improve our site performance, such as number of users and traffic sources, session statistics, and approximate geolocation. The statistics contain no personal information (or email addresses) and cannot be used to gather such information.
St. Paul's may collect personally identifiable information from parents/legal guardians or other visitors through a third-party website, for example, when registering with St. Paul's for an event, providing contact information for other St. Paul's families, making a pledge or donation, responding to a survey, filling out a form, responding to an invitation, or contacting St. Paul's through this website. Engaging our website for these purposes is voluntary and providing any personally identifiable information is intended to complete the action for which you have voluntary engaged.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personally identifiable information" means any information concerning a natural person which, because of name, number, symbol, mark, or other identifier, can be used to identify that natural person. An example of the personally identifiable information collected on St. Paul's’ webpage is the contact card which you fill out in the password-protected area of the website.
Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties
St. Paul's does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise share your personally identifiable information to anyone outside of St. Paul's, other than sharing your contact information to other St. Paul's families as you permit, to trusted third parties who assist us in operating the website, conducting School business, payment processing, or providing services to you.
St. Paul's will also disclose your personally identifiable information in the following limited circumstances: (1) if St. Paul's believes disclosure is required by law, (2) to protect an individual’s personal safety; (3) to protect the public, (4) to enforce the terms and conditions of the website; or (5) to protect St. Paul's and St. Paul's’ community’s rights, safety, or property.
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 website 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 website. 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.
Do Not Track Notice
St. Paul's does not track its visitors over time and across third party websites for purposes of providing target advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) headers. Some third party websites, however, do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.
Links and Forms
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this website, and not to any other site. This website may contain links to other sites and embedded forms which are hosted by other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for any other site, including the content or privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our website to read the privacy statements of each and every website they visit that collects personally identifiable information.
Security
No server, computer, or communications network or system, or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while St. Paul's strives to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through the use of the website, and you acknowledge and agree that you provide such personally identifiable information and engage in such transmissions at your own risk. St. Paul's endeavors to take every precaution to protect our users' personally identifiable information from the loss or misuse of the information under our control. Whenever users submit personally identifiable information via online forms, registration, or online purchases, that information is encrypted upon submission. Servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
St. Paul's provides links on the website for you to use when providing any payment information. Under no circumstances are credit card numbers permanently stored on our website servers. Donations or other payments are processed by Blackbaud, which adheres to the stringent Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS).
Changes to this Privacy Policy
St. Paul's reserves the right to change, modify, or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any substantial changes in the way we use your personally identifiable information will be posted on the website. Your use of the website following posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will mean you accept those changes.
