Chickamauga City Schools is committed to maintaining a Web site that protects the individual's right to privacy. We do not require personal information from our visitors, nor do we collect any personally identifying information (name, email address, Social Security number, or other unique identifier) unless you knowingly provide it. Likewise, we do not give, sell, or transfer any personal information to a third party except as might be required by law.
Information collected and stored automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the Web site, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:- The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Web site;
- The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The pages you visit; and
- If you linked to the CCS Web site from another Web site, the address of that Web site.
We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors — to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.
Information collected from e-mails and forms
You may decide to send us personally identifying information through e-mail messages or through on-line forms. Electronic communication allows us to collect information that will improve our web site for you, and we encourage it. We use personally-identifying information from users in various ways to provide better service. This may be to correct broken links that you have identified or provide additional information that you have requested.
Use of "cookies"
A "cookie" is a small file that a Web site transfers to the user's hard drive. These cookies can be "persistent" (that is, they are retained on the user's hard drive from visit to visit) or "session-based" (that is, they last only for the course of a visit to the site). The CCS Web site uses only session-based cookies to streamline a visitor's use of the site during a particular visit and to make it easier for visitors to take advantage of dynamic features of the site. These cookies expire once the user closes the browser window. We do not use cookies to keep track of personal information about Web site users.
Links to other sites
Our Web site contains links to many sites which are beyond our control. Chickamauga City Schools is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these other sites, and suggests that you read their privacy statements, if available.
Your consent
By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Chickamauga City Schools. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
