Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Schools.now (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.

2. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit Schools.now, we may automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on the Service. This data is collected through standard web analytics tools (such as Umami Analytics) and is used solely to improve the Service.

Locally Stored Preferences

Certain features (such as recently viewed districts and theme preference) are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Information You Provide

If you contact us by email, we collect your email address and the content of your message for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

3. How We Use Information

• To operate and improve the Service.
• To analyze usage patterns and diagnose technical issues.
• To respond to your inquiries or support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Schools.now uses minimal cookies necessary for the Service to function (e.g., theme preference). We use Umami Analytics, which is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies for tracking. We do not serve targeted advertising or share data with third-party advertisers.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except as required by law or to protect our rights. We may share anonymized, aggregated usage statistics that cannot be used to identify you.

6. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained in accordance with our analytics provider’s data retention policies. Email correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry. Browser-stored data (preferences) persists until you clear your browser data.

7. Your Rights

You may clear your locally stored data at any time through your browser settings. If you would like to request deletion of any personal information we may hold (e.g., from email correspondence), please contact us at admin@schools.now.

8. Children’s Privacy

Schools.now does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
