At Andalusia Islamic School, located in Yonkers, NY, we are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of our students, parents, and staff. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide to us through our website, enrollment process, and day-to-day operations.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information from students and parents during enrollment and throughout the school year. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, medical records, academic history, and any additional information required for educational and administrative purposes.
When you visit our website, we may also collect non-personally identifying information such as IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and other analytics data to help improve our site and services.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used strictly for educational, safety, and administrative purposes. This includes processing applications, communicating with families, maintaining academic records, meeting health requirements, and providing a secure and effective learning environment.
We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. We may share necessary data with trusted partners, such as state education authorities, standardized testing services, or contracted service providers, but only when required and with the appropriate safeguards in place.
Security
We take appropriate physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect the information we collect. Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel only. All digital data is stored on secure servers, and paper records are kept in locked and supervised locations.
Your Rights and Choices
Parents and legal guardians have the right to access and review their child’s records at any time. Requests should be submitted in writing to the school administration. If you believe any information we hold is incorrect or outdated, you may request a correction.
Third-Party Services
Our school may use external platforms for communication or educational purposes (e.g., learning management systems or online assessment tools). These services are selected carefully, and we aim to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards.
Photographs and Media
We occasionally take photographs or videos of students during school activities and events. These may be shared in newsletters, our website, or social media. We will seek consent at the time of enrollment, and families may opt out by notifying the administration in writing.
Compliance with Laws
We comply fully with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and all applicable state and federal laws concerning the privacy of educational records and student data.
