American High School is dedicated to upholding online privacy and prioritizes the security of its users. It has established a policy based on the Information Technology Act 2000 (IT Act, 2000) to ensure this commitment.
This Website Privacy Policy outlines how TAHS collects, uses, and shares information on its main website, http://theamericanhighschool.us/, and any associated sub-sites. By using the official website, users agree to adhere to the terms of the Privacy Policy.
Please note that the Privacy Policy is subject to change at the sole discretion of TAHS. To stay updated, users are encouraged to periodically visit the official website.
When users browse the website, AHS may collect certain information from their web browser, such as their IP address, browser name and version, computer operating system, accessed resources, and the last resource visited. This information is recorded in the server’s log file, a common practice among websites. The collected data is used for analysis to better understand users’ technological needs and preferences. It is classified as Non-Personally Identifiable Information, meaning it does not lead to user identification. AHS reserves the right to utilize and share this information with third parties. However, if non-personally identifiable information is combined with personally identifiable information, it will be treated as personally identifiable information for as long as it remains combined.
The AHS website may contain sections where users voluntarily provide personally identifiable information. Individuals who provide their contact information online may receive direct mail, email, or telephone contact from AHS regarding promotions, new product releases, upcoming events, and relevant services. The provided information is handled confidentially. AHS may share personally identifiable information with service providers and affiliated companies to process user transactions. These service providers may include vendors, consultants, or companies involved in marketing services for TAHS. It is ensured that these service providers handle personally identifiable information securely, using it only for authorized projects or as permitted by law.
Personally identifiable information stored on the AHS platform may be accessible to third parties such as content partners, service providers, or vendors. These parties are granted the minimum necessary information to perform their designated tasks for AHS. They are obligated to preserve the confidentiality of the information and use it only for authorized projects or as permitted by law.
AHS handles student educational records in accordance with the relevant educational rights and the provisions of the IT Act, 2000 (s.43A).
In certain circumstances, TAHS may release personally identifiable information to third parties if required under the IT Act, 2000 (s.69) (including subpoenas and court orders), to enforce terms of use, to protect the safety, privacy, rights, or property of AHS, its employees, or affiliated schools, or to avail remedies or limit potential liabilities.
If all or a majority of AHS assets are transferred or sold to another party, all information, whether personally identifiable or not, may be transferred to the acquiring party.
Users should note that discussion threads, message boards, and live lesson sessions on the AHS platform or other education management systems may be accessible to others. Information shared in these forums can be read and disclosed to all users participating in the same threads, boards, or live sessions. AHS cannot guarantee the security of any information disclosed in these public forums, and users post at their own risk.
AHS places great importance on the online privacy and safety of children. Children below 13 years of age must not provide personally identifiable information without prior parental consent or notification. Parental consent includes the opportunity for parents to prevent the use of their child’s information and participation in online activities. AHS does not seek information from children below 13 years of age. Additionally, children may not publicly distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent. If any information is inadvertently shared by a child through fault, deception, or fraud, AHS should be immediately notified at info@theamericanhighschool.us. Guardians of children under 13 can request a review, edit, or prohibition of the utilization of personally identifiable information concerning their child by contacting info@theamericanhighschool.us. However, it should be noted that such a request may affect the child’s enrollment in TAHS and their participation in the program.
AHS websites may contain links to other sites. It is important to note that AHS is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites.
Users have the option to opt-out of receiving future communications from AHS. Opt-out requests should be sent to unsubscribe@theamericanhighschool.us to be effective.
If users have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this Website Privacy Policy or the information practices of AHS, they can contact info@theamericanhighschool.us
While AHS takes significant measures to maintain the security of user information, no security system can be completely infallible. Therefore, the complete security of the systems and database cannot be guaranteed.”
