 Privacy
Policy and
Child Privacy/ Parental Consent StatementBelchertown Day School understands the importance of protecting the privacy of its
students and visitors to Belchertown Day School. This privacy policy explains how we
treat all information collected online at Belchertown Day School. Through this site,
Belchertown Day School may collect two kinds of information: general information and
personal information.
Belchertown Day School's Privacy Policy
General information is not specific to you and cannot be traced in any way to you.
Such information includes certain non-personal information from visitors to the site
(such as the time of day the site is accessed) and certain information in aggregate
form (such as statistics relating to the number and frequency of visitors). Belchertown
Day School uses general information only in ways that do not identify you, the specific
user, meaning that it is never linked to personal information.
Personal information is specific to you and includes such things as your email
address or name and mailing address. This type of information is sometimes called
"personally identifiable information." The only personal information collected through
the www.belchertowndayschool.org web site is information you choose to supply in
response to a request, offer or in an e-mail to Belchertown Day School. In order to
improve our site and to better serve you, Belchertown Day School may share your
personal information with its subsidiaries, affiliates, and legal successors and
trusted third parties. If you do not wish your personal information to be shared in this
way, or you do not wish to be contacted beyond our initial response to your request
for more information, please send an e-mail indicating your preferences to
paula@belchertowndayschool.org
Belchertown Day School may also use the technology called "cookies" which involves
placing a small text file on your computer. The cookie assigns a unique identifying
number to your web browser, allowing the Belchertown Day School site to recognize your
browser (but not otherwise identify you) and passively track activities on the site.
Data collected from Belchertown Day School cookies is general data and used only in the
aggregate; our cookies do not access, collect or reveal any personal information or
other data stored on your computer.
Child Privacy Policy and Parental Consent Statement

Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, for the protection of children's online privacy,
and in general we do not:
A. Collect online contact information from children under the age of 13 without
prior parental notification and consent, which will include an opportunity for the

respond directly to a child's request and will not be used for other purposes.

to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.
2. Policies for Children Under the Age of 13
Belchertown Day School encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with
their children and to participate together in online activities. No information
should be submitted or posted through our services by any student or visitor under

Unless otherwise disclosed to children and their parents during the information
collection process, Belchertown Day School does not provide any personally identifiable
information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever
concerning our students or visitors under 13 years of age. We will not retain a
child's email address without a parent's permission. No information collected from
students or visitors under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or promotional
purposes whatsoever. We do not allow students or visitors under 13 years of age to be
listed in any student or visitor directory or to receive direct marketing
