Privacy Policy

The John S. Dawson Alumni Association Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of all our website visitors, including children and families. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information—especially when it may come from users under the age of 13.

​

1. Information We Collect​

We only collect limited personal information, and only when necessary. Specifically:

• Email Address – Only collected when a user subscribes to our newsletter.

Note: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that we have collected such information unintentionally, we will delete it promptly.

​

2. Parental Consent

If we discover that a subscriber is under 13 years of age, we will require verifiable parental consent before keeping the child’s email address on file. Parents or guardians may:

• Review their child’s information

• Ask to have it deleted

• Refuse to permit further collection or use

To make any such requests, please contact us at: info@jsdawson.org
 

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected email addresses only for:

• Sending newsletters, updates, and event information related to the John S. Dawson High School Foundation

• Communicating information that may be of interest to students, parents, alumni, and the wider school community

We do not sell, rent, or share email addresses or any personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

​

4. Use of Third-Party Services

We may use secure, third-party services (such as email marketing platforms) to manage our newsletter and communications. These services are required to comply with privacy laws and maintain the security of your information.

​

6. Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no system is 100% secure, so we encourage caution when providing personal information online.

​

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies before providing any personal information.
