SchoolStatus Privacy Notice for Minnesota Residents

Last Updated: April 29, 2026

This Minnesota Privacy Notice applies to Minnesota residents whose personal information SchoolStatus processes subject to Minnesota law. Minnesota law requires businesses that determine the purpose and means of processing personal data (“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 Data 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 Minnesota 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.

Your Rights and Choices

As a Minnesota resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information, subject to certain exceptions and limitations available under law. This section describes and explains how to exercise those rights.

• List of Third Parties. You have the right to obtain a list of the specific third parties to which we have disclosed your personal data. If we do not maintain this information in a format specific to you, we may instead provide you a list of the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed any consumer’s personal data.

To exercise this right to opt out, you may opt out of certain third party cookies via our cookie manager at https://www.schoolstatus.com/cookie-policy. “Targeted advertising” is defined as “displaying advertisements to a consumer 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 to predict the consumer’s preferences or interests.”
