Privacy Policy

Heritage Christian Schools respects the trust families place in us. This page explains what information we collect through this website and how we use it.

Our Commitment

Protecting Family Information

This policy applies to heritageschools.us and to the forms, email links and documents offered on it.

Last updated August 2026

01

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to give us through our inquiry form, withdrawal form, email links and phone calls. This typically includes parent or guardian names, mailing address, phone number, email address, and the name, birthdate and grade level of the student you are enrolling.

We also collect limited, non-identifying technical information — such as browser type, device type and pages visited — that helps us keep the website fast, secure and easy to use.

02

How We Use Information

Family information is used only for school purposes: responding to admissions inquiries, processing enrollment and withdrawal requests, sharing school news and calendar updates, and communicating about student programs, lunch, athletics and events.

We do not sell, rent or trade family information, and we do not use it for advertising.

03

Children's Privacy

Our website is written for parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children. Student information reaches us through a parent, guardian or authorized staff member.

04

Third-Party Services

Some features of this site rely on trusted third parties — for example our parent portal, embedded maps and embedded videos. When you use those features, the provider's own privacy policy also applies. We share information with a service provider only when it is needed to deliver a school service.

05

Data Retention & Security

Admissions and enrollment records are retained as long as required for school and accreditation recordkeeping, then securely destroyed. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information such as medical or financial details by email.

06

Photos & Media

Heritage occasionally publishes classroom, athletics, chapel and event photos on this website and on our social media pages. Families may ask the front office in writing to have a student excluded from published media at any time.

07

Your Choices

You may ask us to review, correct or delete the information you have submitted, or to stop sending school communications that are not required for enrollment. Contact the front office and we will help.
