Privacy Policy
SITE|SAFETYNET℠ ("we," "us," "our") respects the privacy of the schools, districts, and visitors who use our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information.

4. School Assessment Data — Ownership and Confidentiality
This section governs all data created through the platform's assessment frameworks, including responses to the 4-Level Safety Standard℠ and 94-Point Safety Zones℠ instruments, Dynamic Safety Scores℠, SafeSchool REPORTs℠, and any notes or documentation a school's team submits during an assessment (collectively, "School Assessment Data").
A. The school owns its data.
School Assessment Data belongs to the school or district that created it. We act as a steward and processor of that data for the sole purpose of delivering assessment services to the school.
B. Private by default.
School Assessment Data is confidential. We do not publish, rank, compare, share, sell, or otherwise disclose any school's assessment data — including the existence or value of any score — without that school's prior written authorization.
C. Public by choice.
A school may elect, in writing, to publish its verified score or safety information. That election is controlled by the school's authorized leadership and may be revoked at any time, after which we will remove the published data within a commercially reasonable period.
D. Access controls.
School Assessment Data is visible only to the school's authorized users and to the limited personnel and service providers necessary to operate the platform, each bound by confidentiality obligations.
E. No student records.
Our assessment instruments evaluate facilities, protocols, partnerships, and systems. They are not designed to collect personally identifiable information about students, and schools are instructed not to include student names or records in assessment responses. If student information is inadvertently submitted, we will delete it upon discovery or notification.
F. Aggregated research data.
We may use School Assessment Data in de-identified, aggregated form for research, benchmarking, and the advancement of K–12 safety standards — provided no individual school is identifiable in any published aggregate.
G. Deletion.
A school may request deletion of its School Assessment Data at any time by contacting us, subject to legal retention requirements.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers that assist in operations (e.g., payment processors, email tools, CRM systems)
- Law enforcement or regulatory agencies, if required by law
- Research and safety partners — only as described in Section 4 and only in de-identified, aggregated form
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and analyze site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some features of our site may not function properly.
7. Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active and as needed to comply with legal obligations. School Assessment Data is retained per Section 4.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information, including encryption in transit (256-bit SSL), secure servers, and restricted access. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9. Children's Privacy
Our platform is for school personnel and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such a collection, we will promptly delete the information.
10. Your Rights and Choices
You may request to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Opt out of non-essential communications
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal and operational requirements)
