Effective Date: 10/30/2024, Updated Date: 12/09/2025
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Christian Academy School System (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, stores, uses, and protects your personal information when you opt in to receive SMS text messages from us. By opting in, you consent to receive recurring automated SMS messages for the purposes described below.
Information We Collect
- Personal Information: When you subscribe you may provide your name, phone number, email address, and any other information you choose to share.
- Usage Information: We may also collect metadata related to our SMS communications (e.g., timestamps, message logs, opt-in/opt-out status) to manage and deliver messages appropriately.
We use the information you provide to send SMS communications related to school operations and instructional matters. These may include — but are not limited to — notifications about tuition and financial aid, billing or enrollment updates, student welfare alerts, schedule changes, emergencies, school closings, cancellations, and other important school-related announcements.
We do not use your personal data for unrelated marketing or promotional purposes.
Message Frequency and Rates
-
Frequency: Messages may be sent periodically as needed. The number of messages you receive will vary depending on school events, administrative needs, and student-specific circumstances (e.g., absences, schedule changes).
-
Rates: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
Opt-In for SMS Messaging
By providing your phone number and opting in, you consent to receive automated SMS messages from Christian Academy School System. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase or enrollment.
Opt-Out of SMS Messaging
Opt-Out: You may stop receiving SMS messages at any time by replying “STOP” to any SMS you receive from us, or by contacting us via email at [email protected].
Help/Support
If you need assistance, reply “HELP” or contact us via email or phone at the contact information below.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Use
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information (e.g., phone number, name, or message logs) with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Your information is used solely to deliver the SMS communications you have consented to receive. Any third-party service providers we use (e.g., SMS delivery platforms) will only process your data on our behalf and under our instructions.
Data Security and Retention
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please note no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
We retain personal information and associated SMS logs for as long as necessary to provide the SMS services, comply with legal obligations, and support record-keeping needs (including documenting consent / opt-out status).
If you opt out, we will update your record to reflect that status and cease SMS communications — though we may retain minimal, anonymized logs solely for compliance-record purposes.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or messaging practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Updated Date.” Continued use of our SMS services after changes are posted will constitute your consent to the updated Policy.
