Personal Information Provided by Parents About Children
PVCS understands that student users who are under thirteen (13) years of age need special safeguards and privacy protection. Accordingly, PVCS is committed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) to the extent applicable. In order to help ensure student privacy, PVCS only receives personal information about its students directly from parents when the student is enrolled at PVCS. PVCS will not at any time collect personal information from children online.
Parents who enroll their child at PVCS are deemed to have consented to the child’s use of applicable PVCS online materials to the extent necessary to further the child’s educational experience at PVCS. Student information will be kept confidential in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”).
