Privacy Disclosures

This section explains EUSD’s website privacy practices, as well as your options for opting out of some website-related services:

PROTECTING STUDENT INFORMATION AND PRIVACY

EUSD takes student privacy very seriously. To learn more about general student privacy matters, we encourage you to review:

With regard to EUSD websites, you can rest assured that we never publish private, confidential, or personally-identifiable student information on EUSD websites (eg: grades, social security numbers, brithdates, etc.). This type of confidential information can only be accessed by authorized district staff or parents / guardians utilizing secure web applications (eg: PowerSchool and/or the other web applications noted above).

The only time we ever publish information about students on public EUSD websites is when a parent has expressly provided permission to do so. When a parent provides such permission, we only publish student first names and last initial, student photographs, and/or student work as a way of showcasing the programs and accomplishments of EUSD and its students. No other personally-identifiable student information is ever published to EUSD websites.

Typically, permission to publish student names, photographs, and/or work is collected from parents / guardians during the registration and enrollment process prior to the start of the school year. If you are a parent or guardian of an EUSD student and you wish to revoke this permission, or if you cannot recall whether or not you granted this permission, please contact your school office.

ANONYMOUS INFORMATION COLLECTED DURING YOUR VISIT TO EUSD WEBSITES

EUSD utilizes industry-standard website analytics software systems to track completely-anonymous information that will help us evaluate and improve the user interface, visitor experience, text content, and other elements of EUSD websites.

When you visit EUSD websites, the anonymous information we collect may include but is not limited to: the IP address of your computer / device, the pages viewed during your visit, the duration of your visit, and the technical capabilities of your computer / device. Collection of your device’s IP address is completely anonymous. There is no way for us to use your IP address to collect personally-identifiable information from you, nor is there any way for us to associate your IP address with any personally-identifiable information we may already have on file.

In full compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not use these analytics systems to collect any personally-identifiable information from any website visitors, including children under the age of 13. In addition, we will never sell nor distribute your information to third parties, and you are free to opt-out from being tracked by our analytics systems.

Google Analytics

EUSD websites use the Google Analytics system. Google Analytics may record the types of anonymous information noted above in the second paragraph of this section.

You can read Google’s complete privacy policy at google.com/policies/privacy, and/or you can choose to disable Google Analytics tracking on your browser software by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
