What laws generally apply to student records?

SUGAR SALEM obeys laws that protect education records. This includes the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and state laws about student records.

SUGAR SALEM does not use a student’s PI to target the student for advertising. SUGAR SALEM does not sell PI. SUGAR SALEM does not illegally create profiles about a student. SUGAR SALEM does not use (unless We ask for and receive permission) a student’s PI for purposes unrelated to providing or improving their education where We are prohibited by law from doing so.

When you create an account with us, register your children for a SUGAR SALEM School Program or participate in a Local School, you provide us with information about you and your children. This personal information may be collected on our Sites, or application. The information you provide may include first and last name; postal address; telephone number; the names and ages of your children; the services you request; registration and enrollment information about your children; an e-mail address where We can contact you; and other information.

Does SUGAR SALEM share personally identifiable information?

Information you provide may be given to your Local School or to others parties if legally required or if requested by your Local School. Information you or the child provide may be given to state and federal agencies, including law enforcement if required or permitted by law.

If others help SUGAR SALEM provide online services, they are given the least information needed to do their work for SUGAR SALEM, as required by law. They have no other rights to the information and have agreed to keep the data private, to use it only to perform the work they provide for SUGAR SALEM and to keep the data safe.

If allowed by law, SUGAR SALEM may share your information with companies that are not connected to SUGAR SALEM. If permitted by state and federal law, SUGAR SALEM may share your information with other companies to improve the education performance of SUGAR SALEM School Programs or so that SUGAR SALEM can offer services to you or give you information about services of third parties. You can ask that your personal information not be shared with third parties by writing to admin[at]Sugarsalem.com.

SUGAR SALEM does not sell PI for monetary compensation. Even though we do not sell PI, if you are a Nevada resident, you may notify us to put you on a list of persons who have opted-out of the sale of PI. Our address for such requests is privacy[at]Sugarsalem.com. Please be aware that we may require you to verify your identity before processing any such request.

How does SUGAR SALEM use personally identifiable information?

SUGAR SALEM uses PI to provide educational services to children enrolled in a Local School, and to otherwise support you and your children for things such as testing, academic progress, attendance, customer service, student affairs or for health or safety purposes. SUGAR SALEM may also use PI to protect its own legal rights.

SUGAR SALEM or your Local School may use PI you provide to contact you or your child’s learning coach about your child’s progress, testing, attendance, or other school issues or for customer service, and quality control. The PI is also used to provide services to you or your child’s Local School or to carry out activities that you or your child’s Local School have requested. SUGAR SALEM also uses PI you supply to satisfy requests for information, and to deliver requested services to you and your children.

SUGAR SALEM will use or share PI if required to do so by law, such as a court order, or permitted to do so for law enforcement, health or safety purposes or to protect Sugar Salem’s legal rights.

How does SUGAR SALEM treat information about children under 13 years old?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the privacy of children under the age of 13. It requires web site operators and online services to post privacy policies and obtain true parental permission before collecting information from those children.

SUGAR SALEM receives personal information about children who are under the age of 13 strictly from their parents or guardians when those children are enrolled into our Local School using a SUGAR SALEM School Program. The only information received directly from your children is the information they provide (such as test answers, electronic mail and class discussions) as part of their education in a SUGAR SALEM School Program.

For information on COPPA and the use of children’s personal information, please contact:

What are do we do With PI?

We may share your PI within our school District and other Sugar Salem School Program in which you are enrolled, other entities that perform certain functions for us, analytics and service providers, benefits providers, transaction processors, and law enforcement (if necessary).

We use PI information internally in a way that is compatible with the purpose for which you originally provided the information, detect or protect against security incidents, or malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity or otherwise comply with law.

We do not sell any PI, regardless of the person’s age, for money or anything similar.

If you would like to request your PI, that your PI be deleted or that your PI not be sold, please send the request to privacy[at]Sugarsalem.org or calling 208-356-8802 ext 8801.  IMPORTANT: Please direct all requests related to education records and to course data directly to the public school in which the student is enrolled. As a service provider to those schools, We cannot delete or modify education records or other records collected or processed for, or on behalf of, a school, unless directed to do so by the school.

You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights under California statutes. We will not discriminate against you (by, for example, denying goods or services to you or providing a different level of quality of goods or services to you) because you exercised any of these privacy rights.

What information is collected or shared on message boards and chats?

We may have message boards or chat rooms on our Sites. The information you put on a message board or in a chat room will be available to all users of that message board or chat room, and is no longer private. We cannot promise privacy of information that you disclose online in public areas. Disclosure is at your own risk. We reserve the right, but not the duty, to monitor the message boards and to publish your postings from message boards or chat rooms in other places on the Internet or in other formats.

What happens when I link to other websites from Sugar Salem’s Sites?

The Sites may contain links to other websites that We provide for your convenience (“Linked Sites”). These sites are not under Sugar Salem’s control. SUGAR SALEM is not responsible for the content on any Linked Site or the actions of any Linked Site. The links do not suggest that SUGAR SALEM recommends the Linked Site. SUGAR SALEM has no liability for your access to the Linked Sites. Access to the Linked Sites is at your own risk. You should review the Privacy Policy that may be on the Linked Sites because those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

What is Sugar Salem’s commitment to data security?

To reduce the risk of unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and secure the correct use of information, We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information We collect. We also use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol on your account information and registration pages to protect personal information. No security system for data is completely secure. Therefore, SUGAR SALEM cannot promise that PI you supply will not be intercepted by others.

 Will this Privacy Policy change?

We may change this policy to be consistent with the law and our practices. We reserve the right to do that at any time. If SUGAR SALEM materially changes its use of your personal information, We will inform you of the change through our application, and will note it in this Privacy Policy. We will post any changes to this policy. The effective date of this Privacy Policy is stated below.
