PRIVACY POLICY

(Effective 5/24/04)

Purpose

Century Community Charter School (CCCS) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of the users of this web site. CCCS’s World Wide Web site is a communication tool for providing information and interactive services to our clients and other users.

Personal/Confidential Information

CCCS does not use its web site to collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to a user’s request or input, or to complete an online transaction.

Except when responding to a user’s request or input, or completing an online transaction, CCCS does not create individual profiles with the information provided by users of this site. CCCS does not give such personal information to third parties not affiliated with CCCS. CCCS does, however, track information about individuals and their visits. The information does not identify you personally. Web usage summary statistics are gathered for site management, and other purposes such as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance issues. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

  1. The Internet domain (for example, “yourcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address from which you access CCCS’s web site;
  2. The type of browser and operating system used to access CCCS’s web site;
  3. The date and time and duration of the visit;
  4. The pages visited;
  5. If you link to CCCS’s web site from another web site, the address of that web site.

If a user chooses to provide CCCS with personal information, such as sending an e-mail to an employee of CCCS or by filling out and submitting an online form located on CCCS’s web site, CCCS may use that information to respond to the user’s message and to assist in obtaining information the user may have requested.

In order to provide electronic commerce capabilities, the name, address and payment information (if applicable) that the user might provide when using this web site may be collected, processed and disclosed to complete an online transaction and for record-keeping for such activities as billing, permits, licenses and other business-related purposes.

Cookies or other technology may transfer information from CCCS’s web site to your hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies or similar technology can make the Internet more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site. The use of cookies or similar technology is an industry standard, and many major web sites use them to provide useful features for their users. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of CCCS’s web site if you do so.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this section, information submitted to CCCS’s web site may be subject to disclosure to another party pursuant to various provisions of California law, including, but not limited to, the California Civil Discovery Act of 1986.

Security

Unless a particular web page on CCCS’s web site indicates that encryption technology is being used, the user should not assume that information uploaded through that web page to CCCS’s web server will be treated as confidential. If a user submits information to CCCS’s server through a web page containing visible indicators of active encryption technology, CCCS will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of such information, but shall nevertheless not be held liable for any injury caused by the disclosure of that information, whether caused by security breach, accident, inadvertence, or any other act resulting in disclosure.
