S.20.1 Web Site Privacy Policy
The DeWitt School District operates and maintains a web site for the purpose of informing the citizens of the district about its activities. The web site does not use "cookies" or ISP addresses to collect or retain personally identifying information about visitors to its web site nor is any such information given to third parties. Any data collected is used solely for the purpose of monitoring the site activity to help the district improve the usefulness of the site to its visitors. The site serves no commercial purpose and does not collect any information from individuals for such purpose.
Photographs of students shall not be displayed on any page of the district's web site without the prior written consent of the parent (or the student, if 18 or older). When posted, the photographs shall not be directly associated with the full name of the student. The site provides for email communication between the district and its activities or between teachers and their students. The site may also provide for password-protected communication between the district and its staff.
*Note: The language contained in both this Privacy Policy and the District Web Site Policy has been carefully constructed with relation to the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA relates to the collection and dissemination of personally identifying information from children under the age of 13 from a web site where such web site or online service is operated for commercial purposes. *15 V.S.C. § 6501 (COPPA) Legal References |
