Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the use of the Hope Christian Academy website.

We highly value your privacy and make this policy easily available throughout our site to assist you in understanding the handling of information in the course of using this site.

Log Files and Cookies

This website utilizes industry standard analytics packages which gather limited information on visitors to our website automatically, and then stores this anonymous information in server log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, basic IP information, referring pages, operating system used and date/time stamps. This information does not identify individual users; it is used only for site administration, as well as for analysis of website usage and trends.

Additionally, cookies are used to assist in gathering analytical information about our visitors, how they use our website, and determining whether or not a visitor has visited our website before.

Links to Other Websites

This website may contain links to other sites that are not controlled in any way by us. Please be aware of this when you click on any such links; we are not responsible for the privacy practices and/or policies of any website other than our own. Consequently, we strongly suggest that you review the privacy policy of every website you visit, whether or not they are linked to by our own site.

Registration and Use of Personal Information

Registration is not required in order to use or access this website.

Visitors may choose to submit an application for enrollment at Hope Christian Academy by using our online application option. All information entered will be treated confidentially and access restricted to authorized staff only. We will not sell or share this information with any third party, except as needed in the course of student registration and compliance with local and state requirements for the reporting of student enrollment. When the online application is submitted, a secured, encrypted connection from your browser to our server is established to ensure the privacy of the data submitted. Furthermore, once received, the data is stored in a location accessible only to authorized personnel.

Hope Christian Academy provides the ability for our visitors to make an online donation to further the mission of the school. As with the online applications, the information provided through the donation form will never be sold or shared with third parties and the submission of this data is securely encrypted before transmission and at all times during storage. After the donation has been processed, we will permanently delete the data from our systems, unless the visitor otherwise requests or establishes a recurring donation schedule.

We also provide visitors to our website the opportunity to opt-in to receive communications from us. In this case, we ask the visitor for his or her email address and name. These communications will include our regular newsletter, upcoming events, and any other information that we feel may be pertinent to the visitor. You may opt out of receiving these communications by emailing us at office@hopechristianacademy.org, by replying to any email we send you and entering the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line, or by calling the office at 651.459.6438.

If you provide us with your email address and name for the purposes of receiving communications from us, this information will not be shared with any third-party organization except with your express consent.

Access to Personally Identifiable Information

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer wish us to possess your information, you may request correction, updating, or deletion of your information by emailing us at office@hopechristianacademy.org. You also may make your request by phone or postal mail at the address/phone number indicated at the end of this privacy policy.

Security

We follow accepted industry standards to protect any personal information you have provided to us. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage can ever be 100% secure. Therefore - as is the case with any organization - we are not in a position to guarantee the absolute security of your information.

You may submit any questions you may have about our security procedures by emailing us at office@hopechristianacademy.org

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on our website.
