PRIVACY POLICY

AssistEd School Programs (ASP)

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 20, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how AssistEd School Programs handles information on our website — in plain language. We believe you deserve to know exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.

1. Introduction

AssistEd School Programs (referred to in this policy as "ASP," "we," "us," or "our") is a school support and education services organization dedicated to partnering with schools, educators, and families to deliver effective, student-centered programs. Our website serves as a resource and communication hub for school administrators, teachers, parents, and prospective program partners.

This Privacy Policy describes how ASP collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to handling any information you share with us responsibly and respectfully.

This policy applies to:

● Website visitors — anyone who browses the ASP website, regardless of whether they submit any information;

● Parents and guardians — family members who visit our site to learn about ASP programs or to contact us; and

● School partners and administrators — educators and school staff who engage with our website for program information or inquiries.

By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide to Us

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily choose to give us. This may include:

● Contact form submissions — when you fill out a contact or inquiry form on our website, you may provide your name, email address, school name, job title, and the content of your message;

● Email newsletter sign-up — if you choose to subscribe to ASP program updates or newsletters, we collect your name and email address.

Providing this information is entirely voluntary. You are never required to submit personal information simply to browse our website. We use what you share only to respond to you and, if you've opted in, to send you relevant updates.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, ours automatically collects certain technical information when you visit. This is standard practice and happens passively — you do not need to do anything for this data to be gathered. It may include:

● Your IP address (a number assigned to your internet connection);

● Browser type and version (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox);

● Device type and operating system;

● Pages you visit on our site and the order in which you visit them;

● Time and date of your visit, and how long you spend on each page; and

● The website that referred you to ours (for example, a search engine or a link from another page).

This information is used in aggregate form to understand how our website is being used and to improve our content and navigation. It is not used to identify you personally.

3. Google Analytics

ASP uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This tool allows us to see things like which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay on the site, where traffic comes from, and what types of devices or browsers are being used.

Specifically, Google Analytics may collect:

● Page views and navigation paths through the site;

● Session duration (how long a visit lasts);

● Traffic sources (e.g., search engines, direct visits, referral links);

● General geographic region (country or city level, not precise location); and

● Device and browser information.

This data is aggregated and anonymous. Google Analytics does not identify who you are as an individual — we see patterns across all visitors, not information tied to any specific person. We use this information solely to improve the experience of using our website.

If you prefer not to have your website activity tracked by Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, available at: [Google Analytics Opt-Out]. Once installed, it will prevent Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits across any website that uses it.

For more information about how Google collects and processes data, please review Google's Privacy Policy at: [Google Privacy Policy].

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They help the website remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you navigated the site. Cookies are widely used and are a standard part of how most websites function.

ASP's website uses the following types of cookies:

Cookie Type

Purpose

Examples

Strictly Necessary

Required for the website to function properly. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.

Session management, security tokens

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use the site by collecting anonymous, aggregated data.

Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid)

We want to be clear about what we do not use: ASP does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies designed to build profiles of individuals for commercial purposes.

You can manage or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

● Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data

● Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

● Apple Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data

● Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Please note that disabling certain cookies, particularly strictly necessary ones, may affect how the website functions or limit access to some features.

5. Student Data — We Do Not Collect It

Important: The ASP website does not collect any personally identifiable information from students. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process any personal data from children under the age of 13.

AssistEd School Programs is fully committed to the protection of children's privacy online. Our website is not directed at children, and we take careful steps to ensure that no student data is gathered through it.

ASP complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the federal law that restricts the collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child may have submitted personal information through our website, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 12 of this policy. We will investigate and, upon confirmation, remove the information as quickly as possible.

Any student-related data that may be exchanged as part of ASP's in-school program services — not through this website — is handled exclusively through separate, written data agreements entered into with our partner schools. Those agreements are governed by applicable federal and state education privacy laws, including FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), and are independent of this website Privacy Policy.

6. How We Use Your Information

ASP uses the information we collect for limited, specific purposes. Here is a clear breakdown of what we do with your information:

● Respond to your inquiries — if you contact us via a form or email, we use your information to reply to you in a timely and helpful manner;

● Improve our website — anonymous, aggregated analytics data helps us understand how our site is being used so we can improve navigation, content, and the overall experience for visitors;

● Send program updates or newsletters — we send communications only to individuals who have explicitly opted in to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time; and

● Maintain the security and integrity of our website — technical data helps us detect and respond to potential issues or misuse.

We want to be equally clear about what we do not do with your information:

● We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party under any circumstances;

● We do not use your data for advertising purposes, whether on our own site or through any advertising network; and

● We do not create profiles of individuals for commercial or marketing use.

7. Information Sharing & Third Parties

ASP does not share, sell, or disclose your personal information to outside parties for commercial purposes. However, in order to operate our website and deliver our services, we work with a small number of trusted service providers. These providers may have limited access to your information strictly to perform functions on our behalf, and they are bound by contractual data protection obligations that prohibit them from using your data for any other purpose.

Examples of these trusted service providers include:

● Google Analytics — for website traffic analysis (see Section 3);

● Email platform provider — used to manage and deliver newsletter communications to opted-in subscribers.

Beyond these operational service providers, ASP may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:

● Legal requirement — if we are required to do so by law, court order, or a legally enforceable request from a government authority; or

● Protection of rights — if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of ASP, our program partners, or the public.

In all cases, we share only the minimum information necessary and will notify affected individuals where legally permitted to do so.

8. Data Security

ASP takes the security of your personal information seriously. We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect data submitted through our website against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure server configurations, encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), and access controls that limit who can view submitted information.

We want to be honest with you: no method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use caution when sharing sensitive information online.

If you have any concerns about the security of your personal information, or if you believe there has been unauthorized access to your data, please contact us right away using the information in Section 12. We take all reports seriously and will respond promptly.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites, including those of partner schools, educational resources, or community organizations. These links are provided for your convenience and information.

Please be aware that ASP has no control over the content or privacy practices of external websites. Once you leave our site by following a link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Those third-party websites operate under their own privacy policies, which may differ significantly from ours.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit before submitting personal information. ASP is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any external sites.

10. Your Privacy Rights

You have rights with respect to the personal information ASP holds about you. Regardless of where you live, you may contact us to:

● Request access — ask us what personal information we have on file for you;

● Request correction — ask us to update or correct any information that is inaccurate or incomplete; and

● Request deletion — ask us to delete personal information we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain certain records.

We will honor these requests promptly and without charge. To make a request, please contact us using the details provided in Section 12.

10.1 California Residents — Additional Rights Under CCPA

If you are a resident of California, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These include:

● Right to Know — the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, and the business or commercial purpose for collecting it;

● Right to Delete — the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions; and

● Right to Opt Out of Sale — the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. Please note: ASP does not sell personal information. This right is noted for disclosure purposes only.

ASP does not discriminate against any individual who exercises their privacy rights. To submit a CCPA request or to learn more about your California privacy rights, please contact us directly using the information in Section 12.

11. Changes to This Policy

ASP may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we offer, or applicable legal requirements. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date clearly shown at the top of the document.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. If we make changes that are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or how we handle your data — we will make reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by posting a notice on our website.

Your continued use of the ASP website after any changes are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy.

12. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy — including requests to access, correct, or delete your personal information — please do not hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help and will respond to all privacy-related inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
