Ecole Schools (“Ecole Schools”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website ecoleschools.org. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. Our mailing address is 8400 River Rd, Suite 1E, North Bergen, NJ 07047, United States. You can reach us at info@ecoleschools.org or +1 (201) 982-6228.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you submit a contact message or an application form (mentor, investor, volunteer or student registration), we collect the information you enter in that form. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, telephone number, city and state, professional background, and the message or application details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and our content delivery network record standard technical data when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used for security, abuse prevention and aggregate traffic statistics.
Cookies. This website uses a small number of cookies that are necessary for the site to function (for example, session and security cookies set by our hosting platform and content delivery network) and, if enabled, cookies used to measure aggregate website traffic. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; necessary cookies cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your enquiry, application or request.
- To evaluate mentor, volunteer, investor and school-founder applications and to contact applicants about next steps.
- To provide information about Ecole Schools programs, services and events that is relevant to your request.
- To operate, secure, maintain and improve our website.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade it to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
3. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults — parents, guardians, educators, mentors and partners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website, in line with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Enrolment and student records are handled separately by the individual school or learning community a family joins, and by our student portal, under that school’s own privacy and student-records practices, including applicable requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) where they apply. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through this website, please contact us and we will delete it.
4. Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of service providers to run this website and to process form submissions. These may include our web hosting provider, a content delivery and security network, an embedded form provider used for application forms, and an email delivery service. These providers process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service. Application forms embedded on this website may be hosted by a third-party form provider, and information you enter into them is transmitted to and stored by that provider as well as by us.
Our student and applicant portal at portal.ecoleschools.org is a separate application; information submitted there is processed for admissions and programme administration purposes.
5. Links to Other Websites
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including partner schools and external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
6. Data Retention
We keep enquiry and application information for as long as necessary to handle your request, to maintain a record of our relationship with applicants and partners, and to meet legal or accounting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or remove identifying details.
7. How We Protect Your Information
This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection and sits behind a security and content delivery network. Access to form submissions and website administration is limited to authorised personnel using individual accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information you share with us.
8. Your Rights and Choices
You may ask us to confirm what personal information we hold about you, to correct it if it is inaccurate, or to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or, for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — including the right to object to certain processing and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, email info@ecoleschools.org and tell us what you would like us to do. We may need to verify your identity before we act on your request.
If you no longer wish to receive messages from us, reply to any message asking to be removed, or contact us at the address above.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
