Saratoga Independent School : Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 19, 2026
Saratoga Independent School (“SIS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or express interest in our school and programs.
Our goal is to provide families with information about Saratoga Independent School, including educational programs, admissions, school tours, enrollment opportunities, financial aid and scholarships, and community events, while handling personal information responsibly.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information in the following ways:
Information you provide to us
When you complete a form, request information, register for an event, schedule a tour, inquire about admissions, apply for a scholarship, or contact us, you may provide information such as:
Name and contact information, including email address and telephone number.
Parent or guardian information.
Information about a prospective student's grade level or educational interests.
Event registrations, tour requests, and communications with our school.
Other information you voluntarily provide through our website or directly to SIS.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through general website forms unless it is specifically requested through an appropriate, secure process.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically, depending on the technologies in use. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on the website, referring website, and general interactions with website content.
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve our website, measure advertising effectiveness, and help deliver relevant information about SIS to interested families.
2. How We Use Your Information
SIS may use information we collect to:
Respond to inquiries and requests for information.
Communicate about admissions, school tours, enrollment, scholarships, financial aid, and educational programs.
Share information about upcoming events, open houses, and other school opportunities.
Follow up with families who have expressed interest in SIS.
Improve our website, communications, and outreach efforts.
Measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising.
Maintain website security and meet applicable legal obligations.
We seek to use personal information only for legitimate school, communication, administrative, and marketing purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
3. Cookies, Analytics, and Online Advertising
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies provided by SIS or third-party service providers.
These technologies may help us understand how visitors use our website, identify which pages and resources are useful, measure advertising performance, and show relevant SIS advertisements to people who have previously visited our website or expressed interest in our school.
Meta advertising and retargeting
SIS may use advertising services offered by Meta Platforms, Inc., including Facebook and Instagram advertising tools and, where implemented, the Meta Pixel or related technologies.
These tools may collect or receive information about website visits and interactions, such as device or browser identifiers, IP address, and activity on particular website pages. Depending on the tools and settings used, this information may be used to measure advertising results, create or help define advertising audiences, and show SIS advertisements to people who may be interested in our school.
For example, someone who visits our admissions or school tour pages may later see an advertisement about an upcoming open house or enrollment opportunity on Facebook or Instagram.
When we use these services, certain information may be shared with Meta. Meta processes information under its own privacy policies and terms. Its collection and use of information may extend beyond our website and are not controlled entirely by SIS.
SIS does not sell personal information to Meta or other third parties in exchange for money. However, the use of advertising and tracking technologies may constitute sharing for targeted advertising under certain privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. We will provide applicable notices and choices as required by law.
Your choices
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the cookie preferences offered on our website. You can also adjust advertising preferences through the platforms on which you receive advertisements.
Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features or limit our ability to measure advertising effectiveness. You may still see SIS advertisements even if you opt out of certain tracking technologies.
4. How We Share Information
SIS does not sell personal information to third parties.
We may share information in limited circumstances, including:
Service providers: With trusted providers that help us operate our website, manage communications, process registrations, maintain systems, or perform other services on our behalf.
Advertising and analytics partners: With providers such as Meta, where applicable, to measure marketing performance and deliver or evaluate relevant advertising.
Legal and safety purposes: When disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of SIS or others.
With your direction or consent: When you ask us to share information or otherwise authorize a disclosure.
We seek to limit information shared with service providers to what is reasonably necessary for their authorized services. Third-party companies may process information under their own privacy policies and applicable agreements.
5. Children's Privacy
Saratoga Independent School serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, including children under the age of 13. We recognize the importance of protecting children's privacy online.
Our website is intended primarily for parents, guardians, prospective families, and other adults interested in our school. We do not knowingly use general website marketing forms to solicit personal information directly from children for advertising purposes.
Parents and guardians should submit student information only through appropriate school channels and forms. Admissions applications, scholarship materials, educational records, and other sensitive student information should be handled separately from general marketing and advertising activities.
We do not intend to provide student application details, educational records, or other sensitive student information to advertising platforms for targeted advertising.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
6. Email and Other Communications
If you contact SIS or request information, we may use the contact information you provide to respond to your inquiry and share relevant information about our school, programs, admissions, events, and enrollment opportunities.
Marketing communications will include an appropriate way to unsubscribe where required by law. You may also contact us directly to request that we stop sending promotional communications.
Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send necessary administrative or service-related communications, such as responses to an active inquiry or information about a scheduled visit.
7. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate records, support our school operations, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information, or to opt out of certain types of targeted advertising or data sharing.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings, unsubscribe from marketing emails, or contact SIS with questions about how your information is used.
To make a privacy-related request, please use the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
9. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, registration services, or other online resources. These services operate independently of SIS and may have their own privacy practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information directly to them.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, website technologies, advertising services, or legal requirements.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.
