PRIVACY POLICY



Last Updated: October 29, 2025


At Salesian Elementary & Junior High School (“Salesian School,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we honor the dignity and privacy of every member of our community — students, families, staff, alumni, and visitors. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information in a way that supports our Catholic values and our commitment to the safety of children and families.

1. Purpose and Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to our website (www.salesianschool.org) and all digital or paper processes related to our admissions, enrollment, events, donations, alumni relations, and community communications.
We follow applicable laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

  • Financial information: tuition payments, donations, transaction records

  • Website data: browser type, IP address, pages visited, time on site, cookies

  • Employment/volunteer data: applications, background checks, references

We collect information directly from you (forms, portals, communications) and automatically through site analytics.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for legitimate school purposes:

  • To process admissions, enrollment, and student services

  • To provide educational and extracurricular programs

  • To communicate with parents, alumni, and donors

  • Affiliated Salesian or diocesan entities, when necessary for mission-related operations

  • Parents or guardians, consistent with FERPA protections

All vendors and partners must follow privacy and data-security requirements.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for parents, guardians, and adult community members.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 without verified parental consent.

Parents and eligible students have the right to:

  • Access or request corrections to educational records
