Additional Notice for California Residents

Last Updated: April 29, 2026

This Additional Notice to the Privacy Notice applies to residents of California only. California law requires businesses that determine the purpose and means of processing personal data to make certain disclosures and offer data rights. Accordingly, SchoolStatus offers the disclosures below to School Account Managers and Visitors to its general website. (Note that we think capitalized terms not defined here will have the meanings you likely expect, but you can confirm our precise definitions in our SchoolStatus Privacy Notice.) These disclosures and rights may not apply where SchoolStatus is processing data on behalf of its school customers (in particular, for Educators, Parents, and Students). Such users should contact their school directly to exercise any rights which they may have.

Sales of Personal Information

In the last 12 months we have disclosed your personal information to third parties in connection with operating our online services, including network identifiers and inferences about your preferences to third party analytics providers. Such disclosure for analytics and marketing / advertising purposes may constitute a “sale” of your personal information under California law. You may opt out of such “sale” of your personal information by opting out of certain third party cookies via our cookie manager at https://www.schoolstatus.com/cookie-policy.  We do not sell the personal information of individuals who we know to be under 16 years of age.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

1. Right to Access. You have the right to access the personal information we have collected about you. If requested, we will provide you with a copy of the personal information we have collected.

2. Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose the following about your personal information in the preceding 12 months:

  • a. The categories of personal information we collected;
  • b. The categories of sources from which we collected your personal information;
  • c. The business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing your personal information;
  • d. The categories of third parties to whom we disclose your personal information; and
  • e. The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

3. Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. Upon verifying your identity and the validity of your request, we will delete your personal information from our records and instruct our service providers, affiliates, or third parties to delete your information as required by law. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is permitted under law.

4. Right to Correct. You have the right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you. Upon verifying your identity and the validity of your request, we will use reasonable efforts to correct your personal information as directed. In certain circumstances, we may not be able to satisfy this request depending on the nature of the personal information and purposes for maintaining it.

5. Right to Opt-out of Selling/Sharing. You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time. To exercise the right to opt out, you may submit a request to use by visiting our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt out rights. Your right to opt out of ‘sharing’ information is a specific right to prevent the provision of your personal information to a third party for them to target certain advertising to you. 

You may exercise your ‘do not sell or share my personal information’ rights here

We may not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the California Privacy Rights Act. This means that we may not deny you services, or charge you different prices or rates for services or provide you with a different level or quality of services (or suggest that we will do so), in response to a request made under the California Privacy Rights Act. However, we may charge different prices or rates, or provide a different level or quality of services, where that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by your personal information.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request to know, request to correct, or request to delete. An agent may be an individual or a business entity. To designate an authorized agent, you must provide the agent with written permission to submit the request. We may still require you to verify your identity directly (subject to certain exceptions). We may refuse a request if the agent does not provide adequate proof of their authorization. 

Our site recognizes signals that enable opt-outs in a frictionless manner. Namely, we recognize the Global Privacy Control when you browse our site with a browser that sends that signal. You should check your browser documentation to confirm configuration and use of the Global Privacy Control.

How to Exercise These Rights

You may request to exercise the foregoing rights by:

Please note that we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights. In connection with such verification, we may ask you to provide your name, email address, physical address or zip code and phone number. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted by law.

Data Storage and Retention

We will store your personal information until the initial purpose for which we collected such data has been satisfied, including the purpose described in our How Personal Information Is Collected and Used section. If you consent to a new or additional purpose for retaining your data, your personal information may be stored for longer. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information against unauthorized use, loss, destruction or alteration. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

We retain personal data about you as permitted or required by law. For personal information collected via our products and services, data retention is based on the contract or contract term with our customer. Business communications may be retained indefinitely as needed to prove and provide services, manage account relationships, and for archival purposes. Online analytics, web log information, sales and prospect information may be retained indefinitely as permitted by law. At the end of that retention period, all data is deleted unless subject to an exception under law.
