We collect information you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website, including:

  • Email address (when subscribing to our newsletter)
  • Name, email, school name, and message content (when submitting a school listing request or contacting us through our forms)

We also automatically collect certain information when you visit our site:

  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
  • General geographic location (country/region level)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve our website, respond to your inquiries and form submissions, send you our newsletter (if you subscribe), analyze website traffic and usage patterns to improve our content, and communicate with you about Schola's services and educational content.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use this information solely to improve our website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, rather than your name or other identifying information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Form Submissions

Our contact and school listing forms are processed through Netlify, our hosting provider. Netlify stores form submission data on their servers. We access this data to respond to your inquiries. For more information, see Netlify's Privacy Policy.

Email Forwarding

Emails sent to our @schola.org addresses are forwarded through ImprovMX, a third-party email forwarding service. ImprovMX processes your email in transit but does not store your email content. See ImprovMX's Privacy Policy for details.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies set by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. These cookies do not collect personal information. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on our site.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data as described in their respective privacy policies: Google Analytics (analytics), Netlify (hosting and form processing), ImprovMX (email forwarding), and Google Fonts (typography). We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain form submission data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically no longer than 24 months. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. Our site is served over HTTPS with SSL/TLS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for parents, educators, and adults researching educational options. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, opt out of marketing communications, and request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
