We
care about providing you with the tools and information to manage and
protect your online privacy. We have therefore developed a policy to
inform you about the types of information the SchoolMessenger services
and website collect, who may receive that information, and what we may
do with the information.
SchoolMessenger is also a signatory to the Student Privacy Pledge (www.studentprivacypledge.org),
and its commitments and protections are reflected in both how we
deliver our services, and in our responsible stewardship and appropriate
use of educator, student, and parent information.
While we have made every attempt to make this policy as clear as
possible, if you have any questions about this policy, contact us at:

Cookies
Some of our services and websites may use a cookie for session login.
Only a unique ID is stored in the cookie that identifies your session

This data allows us to understand site usage patterns and make our
websites easier to use. Also, if you submit your personal information
via a web form on our public marketing website at
www.schoolmessenger.com, we may utilize a persistent cookie to recognize
when your computer visits our website. This allows us to provide
personalized content.

any third parties, ever. Only our employees who need access to the
information in order to do their jobs have access to it.
