Adopted: 01 November 2023


Summary

We know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy and the privacy of students seriously. Frogtummy Enterprises, Inc. “the Contractor” acts in the role of “school official” and adheres to a strict policy of respecting and protecting the data and privacy of our users. We receive personally identifiable student data from users and from school administrative personnel strictly for the purpose of providing the contracted service of Parent Information Center. This privacy policy applies to all Frogtummy Enterprises, Inc. education entity products.

The Contractor will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to Student Data privacy and security, all as may be amended from time to time.


What We Receive

From the Parents/Legal Guardians:

Users must create an account and provide information about themselves and their students to the contracted school using our application as a third-party service provider. By creating an account and/or using the website, you are consenting to such practices. If you do not consent to our processing of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our website. Depending on the selection of services the school contracts with us to provide, we may collect information such as:

  • Basic account information including name and email address.
  • Student information such as name, address, birthdate, grade level, campus preferences, student number, siblings (if applicable), parent or guardian contact information, and other items as listed in the OneRoster documentation provided by 1EdTech Consortium Inc.
  • Payment Information if contracted with the school and the parent provides payment information. This information is handled with the utmost care. We engage a secure and nationally recognized payment processor using strong industry standard encryption for credit card transactions. The Contractor does not store credit card numbers, nor do we have access to credit card numbers through our payment processor. To provide our service, we retain the details of a purchase, such as the payment date, the amount paid, and items paid for.
  • Your direct communications. We keep records of communications including email and text messages when you or a school user uses a communication system such as text or email, when a user provides feedback, asks questions, or seeks technical support.
  • Information stored in a student’s cumulative educational record.

From the School:

  • The contracted school provides specific information to the Contractor to provide services as a “school official” to increase the efficiency of administrative duties performed by the school. The information provided to the Contractor depends on the services selected by the school, but may include student legal name, date of birth, grade level, entry/exit dates, list of enrolled courses, outstanding payment balances, etc.

From the Tech:

  • We use Google Analytics™ to track and store your settings and activity while using the Parent Information Center, which includes things like viewing and interacting with content (such as the Carpool Connection app or Payment Processor). For more information about Google Analytics, please see the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Cookies: Like many websites, we rely on cookies (a small text file sent to your browser). The Contractor uses only necessary and functional cookies, for example to retain your preferences and remember the state of an activity (such as an online shopping cart for school fees or meal payments) or a service (such as accountholder sign-in). You can decline to have personal data collected via third-party tracking technologies by navigating to the settings feature in your browser and declining third party cookies or declining third party cookies from specific sites, or, for mobile, limiting ad tracking or resetting the advertiser identifier via the privacy settings on your mobile device.
  • Other Non-Personal Information: We automatically receive and record non-personal information on our server logs from a user’s browser. We may collect technical information about the browser, operating system, or mobile device being used, as well as information about patterns of usage and technical performance.
  • Use of Technical Information: We use the technical information collected to deliver content and support a user’s experience of our services. For example, when a user returns to the services after signing in, cookies help us recognize that user.

Sharing of Your Personally Identifiable Information with Service Provider

Frogtummy Enterprises will not sell, rent, or trade your PII or your student’s PII to any third party. However, we may share your PII with third‐party service providers hired to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep PII confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Frogtummy Enterprises provides them with only the information they need to know to perform the requested services on our behalf. They are bound by confidentiality obligations prohibiting them from using your PII for purposes other than to facilitate and carry out the services for which they have been retained. Frogtummy Enterprises protects PII disclosed to third parties by contractual agreements, requiring those third parties to adhere to confidentiality and security procedures and protections that are, at a minimum, equivalent to those employed by Frogtummy Enterprises itself.

Only those personnel of Frogtummy Enterprises or third-party contractors, with whom Frogtummy Enterprises has contracted and who have a business need to know to perform the services being requested by Frogtummy Enterprises, will be granted access to PII.

We will allow a successor entity to maintain the Student PII, in the case of our merger or acquisition by another entity, provided the successor entity is subject to these same commitments for the previously collected Student PII.
