NCS Privacy Statement

National Cathedral School is dedicated to protecting the privacy of our community and those who interact with our school. Please send any questions about this Privacy Statement or the privacy of your information to ncswebsite@cathedral.org.
 
1. Personally Identifying Information
 
NCS does not collect personally identifying information about a online visitor unless that information is voluntarily provided to the school by submitting an online form—including one with a username and password—or sending an e-mail. Personally identifiable information transmitted through the NCS website is encrypted upon submission via the highest level of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) available, and the servers storing this information are in a secure environment. NCS uses third-party, PCI-compliant service providers to process credit card payments; under no circumstances are credit card numbers permanently stored on NCS servers. NCS maintains strict privacy policies, ensuring that the personal information of our users and members is not sold, rented, released, or traded to others without prior consent or a court order. If you are receiving text messages from us and wish to stop receiving them, simply respond with either “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the number from which you received the message. Once we receive your message, you will no longer receive further text messages from us.
 
2. Cookies/Log Files
 
NCS analyzes how our website is accessed and utilized. Much of the information we monitor relies on "cookies," small text files created by a server and stored by a browser. Cookies also allow a user's browser to store preferences from visit to visit our site and to maintain a "logged-in" status when visiting password-protected areas. The use of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information. An online visitor may set a browser to reject or selectively accept cookies and/or to delete cookies previously accepted; these options may limit the functionality of the website. 
 
3. Links From Our Website
 
This website contains hyperlinks to web pages hosted on other servers. NCS provides these links as a service to visitors and takes no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of these pages. Questions about any particular link(s) on our website may be addressed to ncswebsite@cathedral.org.
 
4. Links to Our Website
 
Linking to the NCS website from an outside website does not require permission, but republishing information found on our website, including the NCS logo or other images, does require explicit permission. Email ncswebsite@cathedral.org to begin this conversation.
 
5. Children's Online Privacy
 
Under federal rules, special privacy protections apply to children under 13 years of age who visit a website. This Privacy Statement covers all visitors to the NCS website equally, regardless of age, and NCS does not request personal information from any minor.
 
6. International Visitors
 
The NCS website and services offered therefrom are hosted in and provided from the United States. We comply with the privacy laws of the United States and make no representation that this Privacy Statement complies with the laws of any other jurisdiction. Anyone using our website and/or services from the European Union, Canada, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law should note that the United States does not have the same data protection laws as these regions. By providing personal information, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and the use of your personally identifiable information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
 
7. Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions
