• Privacy Policy

    Thank you for visiting the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD.org) website (“Website”) and for reviewing our privacy policy. This privacy policy discloses the ways our website gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a website user’s personally identifiable information (“PII”). This privacy policy applies only to our Website and not to any offline activities. It does not apply to any third party site or service that may be linked to our Website or recommended or referred by our Website.

    PII is information that can be used to distinguish or trace a person’s identity. Examples of PII may include a person’s name or address, parent and family names and addresses, social security number, and geolocation data.

    We collect no PII unless you choose to provide that information through use of the L.A. Unified website.

    Some of our webpages (such as on-line order forms, conference and training registration forms, information request forms, notification and alert request forms, and other forms) let you voluntarily submit PII. In those cases where PII is collected, every attempt will be made to protect your privacy. LAUSD.org cannot however, provide any guarantees as to the absolute security of your personal information.

    For more information about how we record non-personal information about your visit or how we use information that you voluntarily submit, continue reading:

    Cookies

    On certain LAUSD.org web pages, "cookies" are used to help with interactive usage of the site. A cookie is a small file that a website transfers to your hard disk, usually to keep track of you while you are connected to that site. Cookies compile statistical data about use of our Website. Cookies may provide us with data usage, frequency of visitations to the Website, where users go on the Website, how much time users spend on the Website, the Website pages users visit the most, and what activities users perform on the Website. None of the statistics include PII.

    The cookies on LAUSD.org's pages do not collect information about you, but only about your browser "session." The cookie makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of these web pages, without having to provide the same information again and again as you move from one page to another.

    To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a website that uses cookies. If you are concerned about potential use of information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings that let you identify and/or reject cookies.

    Information from Email

    If you decide to send us an electronic mail message (email), the message will usually contain your return email address. If you include PII in your email because you want us to address issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your request. In other limited circumstances, we may be required by law to disclose information that you submit.

    Also, email is not necessarily secure against interception. Please send only information to help us process your request.

    Amendment of Privacy Policy

    We may change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version on this page or on a successor page. The new version will become effective on the date it is posted.
