Privacy Policy

School2Community policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. Our goal is to provide a "world-class" service to our members. This means we strive to represent the best interest of our members rather than the suppliers and advertisers that would like to sell products and services to our members. We will not willfully disclose individually identifiable information about our customers to any third party without first receiving that user's permission.

Does School2Community ask for personal information?

Yes, we do. School2Community may ask for your name, email address, and other personal information when you sign up for our services. We may also ask for such information at other times, such as when you request information from School2Community and/or our customers.

Will School2Community disclose any of my personal information?

School2Community will not disclose any of your personal information, except as described below, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of School2Community. Under confidentiality agreements, School2Community may match user information with third party data.

School2Community does disclose aggregated user statistics (for example, 45% of our users are female) in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. If/when we do match user information, we endeavor to keep personal information confidential from those third parties.

Additionally, if you register through our site, the information obtained during your visit to these areas, and the information that you give such as your credit card number and contact information, is provided to the merchant of record. These merchants can be School2Community or third party companies. These merchants have separate privacy and data collection practices. School2Community has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies.

How does School2Community use my personal information?

School2Community's goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with the most personalized web experience possible. By knowing a little about you, School2Community is able to deliver more relevant content and services to you.

Will School2Community use my information for direct mailings?

We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. You can remove yourself from this distribution list via a link in the communication. Only School2Community (or agents working on behalf of School2Community and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings.

What about kids?

School2Community sites are for professionals and usage by children is not intended. With that said, the safety of children is very important to us.
