Glass City Academy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) greatly values the privacy of our students, parents/guardians, website visitors, and other stakeholders. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit https://www.glasscityacademy.org
(the “Site”), enroll or register students, fill out forms, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with us online or in person.
2. Information We Collect
a. Information you provide directly
When you complete an enrolment form, contact us, subscribe to newsletters, sign up for services, or otherwise provide information, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, student information (such as birth date, grade level, prior school), parent/guardian details, emergency contact information, and any other details you submit.

When you use our Site, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent, referral source, and other usage data. This helps us understand how visitors use the Site and enhance user experience.

We use cookies, web-beacons, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, manage login and enrolment forms, analyze site traffic, and optimize our site’s performance. See our Cookie Policy (below) for more details.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to:
Process enrolments, respond to inquiries, register students, communicate with parents/guardians, or manage student services.
Send newsletters, school updates, event notifications, parent-alerts, or other communications you’ve opted into.
Improve our Site’s content, functionality, user experience, and administrative processes.
Ensure the security and integrity of our systems and protect against unauthorized access, fraud, or misuse.

When required by law, regulation, or legal process (such as student record requests under education law, government investigations).
To protect our rights, students, parents/guardians, or the public’s safety as permitted by law.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
