This Privacy Statement applies to the Foothills website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Foothills website, you consent to the data practices described in this Statement.
 
Collection of your Personal Information
Foothills collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Foothills also collects anonymous demographic information that is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
 
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that Foothills automatically collects. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring Web site addresses. Foothills uses this information to operate the service, maintain the quality of the service, and provide general statistics regarding the use of the Foothills website.
 
Please remember that if you directly disclose personally identifiable or sensitive data through Foothills public message boards, others may collect and use this information. Foothills does not read any of your private online communications.
 
Foothills encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Foothills to understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Foothills is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of Foothills Regional High School.
 
Use of your Personal Information
Foothills collects and uses your personal information to operate the Foothills website and deliver the services you have requested. Foothills also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Foothills and its affiliates. Foothills may also contact you via surveys to research your opinion of current services or potential new services that may be offered.
 
Foothills does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Foothills may occasionally contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Foothills may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Foothills, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
 
Foothills does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
 
Foothills keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within Foothills to determine what Foothills services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Foothills to customers whose behavior indicates interest in a particular subject area.
 
Foothills websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Foothills or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Foothills; and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Foothills or the public.
 
Use of Cookies
The Foothills website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.
 
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Foothills pages or register with Foothills site or services, a cookie helps Foothills to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Foothills website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized Foothills features.
 
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Foothills services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information
Foothills secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Foothills secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. SMS consent and phone numbers collected for SMS purposes will not be shared or sold to any third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.
