SchoolStatus Privacy Notice for Maryland Residents

Last Updated: April 29, 2026

This Maryland Privacy Notice applies to Maryland residents whose personal information SchoolStatus processes subject to Maryland law. Maryland law requires businesses that determine the purpose and means of processing personal data (“Controllers”) to make certain disclosures and offer data rights. SchoolStatus provides products and solutions that support teachers, educators, coaches, counselors, and administrators at schools (our “Services”). 

When account contacts or administrators (collectively, “Contacts”) are designated or otherwise set up to help manage the delivery of our Services, we may be Controllers of personal data related to Contacts. This notice is addressed to Contacts, to customer prospects whose data we may collect online, through in-person events, through social media, or from other third parties (“Prospects”), and to visitors (“Visitors”) to our website at https://www.schoolstatus.com and to other websites we control and on which this notice appears (collectively, our “Website”). In particular, this notice is addressed to Contacts, Prospects, and Visitors that are Maryland residents.

These disclosures and rights may not apply where SchoolStatus is not processing your personal data or where SchoolStatus is processing data on behalf of its clients, such as schools. If you are a school employee, teacher, or other staff member or professional, or a student or parent and have questions about how our clients collect and process your personal information, including via our Services, please contact them directly or refer to their privacy notices.

You have the right to opt of processing of personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising. “Targeted advertising” is defined as “displaying advertisements to a consumer or on a device identified by a unique identifier, where the advertisement is selected based on personal data obtained or inferred from the consumer’s activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications that are unaffiliated with each other, in order to predict the consumer’s preferences or interests.” You may opt out of cookies and related tracking used to power our digital targeted advertising via our cookie manager at https://www.schoolstatus.com/cookie-policy.
