Privacy Policy

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, and opt-in lists owned and operated by Flintridge Preparatory School ("Flintridge Prep").

What information are you collecting?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from the Flintridge Prep Web site, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of this site, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement.

What information do you collect when I register or signup?

Flintridge Prep offers access to some areas of our web site that require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send notification to you of Flintridge Prep announcements by email. We do not share this information with anyone else.

What other information do you request?

We may also request your email address, address, general geographic location information, and other general information about you for the purposes of posting your information in the Alumni or Parent Email Posts, and/or for conducting surveys, or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to email newsletters, announcement lists or information about this web site and Flintridge Prep). We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your email address to a third-party, without your consent or as permitted by this Privacy Policy.

When you sign up for Flintridge Prep Alumni or Parent Email Post access, your name or alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your own account within this web site. This information is not used to to identify you outside the Flintridge Prep web site.

Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?

Flintridge Prep will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

1. Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Flintridge Prep,
2. Protect and defend the rights or property of Flintridge Prep and/or its webmasters,
3. Identify persons who may be violating the law, Flintridge Prep Conditions of Use and Web site User Agreement, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing the Flintridge Prep website,
4. Fulfill a user's order or request.

What else should I know about my privacy when online?

The Flintridge Prep web site contains many hyperlinks to third party Web sites and email addresses to other Flintridge Prep users. The Flintridge Prep website may also contain advertisements of third parties. Flintridge Prep is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party Web sites, advertisers, or other users of the Flintridge Prep website. Flintridge Prep does not share any of the individual personal information you provide Flintridge Prep with the third parties to which Flintridge Prep links, except as stated elsewhere within this Privacy Policy, although Flintridge Prep may share general, aggregate data with such third parties (such as how many people use our site).

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through email, or email posts at Flintridge Prep, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you authorize the posting and/or post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

By using the Flintridge Prep web site, you consent to the collection and use of information by Flintridge Prep as specified above. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
