Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the Hays Consolidated Independent School District (HCISD)
website and reviewing our privacy policy. HCISD is committed to ensuring
the privacy of all our web site users. This document explains our collection
and use of personal information.
HCISD does not collect personal information about individuals without
their knowledge. Personal information may be requested when you engage
in any of the following online activities:
Use of Personal Information
We do not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide
it by sending us e-mail, participating in a survey, or completing
an on-line form. Personal information submitted will not be transferred
to any non-affiliated third parties unless otherwise stated at the
time of collection. When a user submits personally identifiable information
it is used only for the purpose stated at the time of collection.
For example, our Online Job Application is stored to provide you
and our Human Resources Department access to the account. Any information
collection on this Web site is only used for District purposes.
Children
Parents have the right to approve, disapprove, or revoke a previously
granted right to post a student's picture or other personally identifiable
information.
Email
If you send us an electronic mail message (email), the message will
usually contain your return email address. If you include personally
identifying information in your email because you want us to address
issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in
responding to your request. Remember that email is not necessarily
secure against interception. Please send only information necessary
to help us process your request. If you send email to us, it will
be forwarded to those individuals (employees, school board members)
necessary to address that e-mail.
Email Lists
The information we collect when you subscribe to one of our email lists
is used solely to administer these lists and is not shared, disclosed
or sold to other organizations. Users who no longer wish to receive
our notifications may opt-out of receiving these communications by
sending an email to webmaster@hayscisd.net.
Links to Other Sites
The HCISD website provides links to other websites. HCISD is not responsible
for the privacy policies of other websites, and HCISD's privacy policy
does not apply when you visit these other sites. We recommend that
you be aware when you leave our web site and encourage you to read
the privacy statements of other websites you visit.
Anonymous Information - Log files
Our website will automatically record some broad demographic information,
such as a visitor's country, operating system, browser types, frequency
of visit, and so on. This tracking system does not record information
about individuals. We use this information for statistical analysis,
to help us make our site more useful to visitors. The information
is not reviewed on an individual basis but is aggregated with other
users for comparison purposes.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on the user’s
hard drive containing information about the user. It enables HCISD to
store and track what you are looking at when you visit the HCISD site.
If you are concerned about the 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 allow the identification or rejection of “cookies.”
Security
HCISD takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information.
When you submit information via the website, it is protected both
online and off-line. When personal information is required, that
information is stored in a secure file on our server. We also take
precautions to protect user information off-line. All user information
is restricted to authorized employees. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific task are granted access to personal
information. The server used to store personal information is kept
in a secure environment.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
HCISD may amend this policy from time to time. HCISD will prominently
display on this Website any substantial change in the way we use
your personal information.
