Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy of Dayspring Christian Academy, doing business as DayspringChristian.com (referred to as “Dayspring Christian Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), describes the types of information we may collect when you visit our Website— DayspringChristian.com. We understand how important it is to keep your personal information confidential. We value the information you provide us and want you to be confident that we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our commitment to protecting your privacy is outlined in the policies below.

This Privacy Policy addresses the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any information collected via our Site. The information you provide on our Site will be used only as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Except as outlined herein, the submission and collection of personally identifiable information (defined below) is strictly voluntary. By using or visiting our Site, you acknowledge your agreement with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use related to that site. If you do not want to grant permission to use your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, please do not provide it and elect not to visit our Site. However, not providing certain information may result in our inability to provide you with the information or services you desire.

Information Collected

The two types of information we collect are personally identifiable information and website use information.

Website use information is anonymous information that cannot be used to identify you. We use this information to track navigation through our Site, which pages are viewed most often, what other websites are visited and similar data. We also use the information to develop and deliver marketing strategy, to notify you of ads, promotions and to offer products and services to you.

Personally identifiable information is sensitive information that can be used to identify you. Personally identifiable information includes, among other information, your full name, e-mail address, physical mailing address, and telephone number. Some of the features on our online Site require that you provide us information about yourself such as when you elect to purchase a product from us, register for an account or choose to fill out a form on our online Site. You can review and update any personally identifiable information you have voluntarily elected to provide to us prior to submitting the information.

We will never request your password, username, or other personally identifiable information through e-mail. This practice, called “phishing,” is oftentimes a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail message that looks like it is from us asking for your personal information, please do not respond.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide

If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, we will use that information to enhance your experience in the following ways:

Complete your request to sign up to receive information via e-mail on our online Site.

Complete your request to register as a member of our online Site.

Customize your shopping experience.

Providing us with your personally identifiable information allows Dayspring Christian Academy to:

Notify you of advertisements and promotions related to the online Site or Dayspring Christian Academy store using the Internet, e-mail, and mail sent via the U.S. Post Office.

Communicate great values and featured items to you.

Comply with valid legal procedures, requirements, regulations, and statutes.

Children

Our online Sites are general audience sites. We do not permit anyone who tells us they are under the age of 13 to register online with us. We also do not collect information from anyone that tells us they are under the age of 13. Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any contact information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental controls or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the Internet.

Automatically Collected Information

We save information based on your interaction with our online Sites. This allows us to process your inquiries more efficiently, notify you of advertisements, promotions and to offer products and services to you and ultimately, provide you with enhanced customer service. This information includes, but is not limited to, your Internet Protocol address (the address automatically assigned to your computer every time you establish a connection to the Internet), the name of any referring websites, as well as your navigation and activity on our websites. By tracking this type of information, we may be able to modify our content and product displays to enhance your experience while visiting our online Sites.

This information is only used to help us make our Sites more useful to you and to notify you of ads, promotions and to offer products and services to you. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and site management purposes only.

Information Collected for Tracking Purposes (Cookies)

Like many websites, our Sites do not currently respond to “do not track signals” or other mechanisms that consumers may utilize on their web browsing device to limit the collection of certain information about a consumer’s activities over time and across various websites or online services. As with most websites, we use “cookies” to obtain information when your web browser accesses our online Site. “Cookies” are small amounts of data that are stored on your computer and find their way to your browser via a web server. They flag information about your activity on our online Sites. This information helps us to improve our Sites and to make them friendlier and easier to use. We are then able to “recognize” you and personalize your experience with our Sites. You may “turn off” cookies by following steps outlined in the “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers; however, cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our Sites’ best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.

We may use trusted third party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf using the Internet. This form of marketing, called “retargeting,” enhances the web surfing experience and allows us to better notify you of our advertisements and promotions, and offer products and services to you. These companies may use technologies to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and use information about your visits to our online Sites and other websites so that we can provide a better experience for you. The third party service providers may collect anonymous information about your visits to our online Sites and your interaction with our online Sites. This anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag and/or cookie. No personally identifiable information is collected or used in this process. Our third party service providers do not learn the name, telephone number, postal address, e-mail address, or any other personally identifiable information about you in connection with the aforementioned retargeting process.

Sharing Information

We may share aggregated general information collected by our Sites with our third party service providers. Aggregated data does not contain any personally identifiable information that could be used to contact or identify you. We only share personally identifiable information in one or more of the following limited circumstances:

We have your consent.

We may provide such information to respected third party service providers to the extent necessary for them to assist and support us as we attempt to better provide enhanced products and services to you and to complete your requests to receive information from us via email, use our online tools or register as a member on any of our online Sites. When this is done, it is subject to agreements or other specific direction given to the service provider that requires them to process such information only in accordance with our instructions, in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and with appropriate confidentiality and security measures in place. We have no control over and bear no responsibility for the privacy policies and/or content of any websites or advertisers linked to or on any of our Sites or cookies these websites may deposit on your computer.

We may use this information to notify you of advertisement, promotions and to offer products and services to you using the Internet, e-mail, and mail sent via the U.S. Post Office.

When required by law or where we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a criminal investigation, a court order, or legal process served on our company in direct relation to you. We may also share your personally identifiable information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use of our Sites and services, or as otherwise required by law.

If you have established an account with us, we may share the information submitted under your account with our trusted third-party service providers working on our behalf in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent.

In the event that another company acquires all or substantially all of the assets related to our business, we reserve the right to include any or all stored personally identifiable information among the assets transferred to the acquiring company.

We may store and process personally identifiable information collected on our Site in the United States or any other country in which we maintain facilities. By using our Sites and services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your country.

We currently DO NOT share your personally identifiable information with any other companies or organizations that would present you with offers or promotions that are not directly related to Dayspring Christian Academy.

Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data you provide to us. While no computer or facility is 100% safe from outside attacks, we believe that the steps we have taken to protect your personally identifiable information dramatically reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate for the type of data involved.

Opt-Out of Services

At any time you may opt-out of our services. You are free to delete all cookies on your browser, or have your browser notify you when a cookie is set—simply check your browser settings. By deleting your cookies you will disable our ability, or that of our third party partners, to deliver advertisements that are targeted to your interests. You will have to clear your cookies each time you visit our online Sites to ensure that you are not receiving retargeted advertisements.

You may also receive e-mail messages from us. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, let us know by following the opt-out directions on any of the e-mail messages you have received from us.

Additionally, we may display interest-based ads to you on third-party networking service platforms, such as Facebook, through tools offered by third-party services. These tools allow Dayspring Christian Academy to personalize our advertising based on your previous experiences with us. Dayspring Christian Academy does not share any of your personal information, including contact details and shopping history, directly with the third-party networking service.

Arbitration

This Privacy Policy or any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Pennsylvania notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles. Additionally, you agree that all claims must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Pennsylvania except as described in the immediately following paragraphs regarding arbitration. You agree to resolve disputes through arbitration.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to this Privacy Policy, your use of the Site, or to any products or services sold or distributed by us or otherwise through the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Privacy Policy.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Privacy Policy as a court would.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights.

The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives, and the arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of this Privacy Policy and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review.

If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to the Privacy Policy must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this section, the Privacy Policy and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

SchoolPass Visitor Management Privacy Policy

Should you visit our school, you will check-in using a third party system. We contract with a third party (SchoolPass) to provide visitor management and attendance tracking services for the building. Data for this system is not stored locally by Dayspring and is only available through SchoolPass’ cloud-hosted solution. We do share family and student data with this third party which allows for parent accounts and interaction with our SIS (FACTS). A complete record of the SchoolPass Privacy Policy can be found at http://schoolpass.com/privacy-policy/

Privacy Policy Changes

As we continue to improve the services, products, and features we provide, this Privacy Policy is subject to change. This Privacy Policy is subject to change without direct notice to you. We may change our Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version of it on our online Sites. Therefore you should review this Privacy Policy each time you visit our Sites. The dates provided below will inform you as to when the most recent material updates to this Privacy Policy occurred and the date on which the updated Privacy Policy became effective.

Policy Became Effective: March 1, 2018.

California Privacy Rights

Pursuant to Section 1798.83 of California Civil Code, a California resident with whom we have established a business relationship has the right to request from us certain information with respect to the types of personally identifiable information we have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes by such third parties, and the identities of the third parties with whom we have shared information during the immediately preceding calendar year. All requests for such information must be in writing and sent to Dayspring Christian Academy, c/o Dayspring Christian Academy 120 College Ave. Mountville, PA 17554.
