Hooch River Christian Academy is committed to keeping your personal information private. We have created this privacy notice to let you know what information we collect online, as well as information which we collect from non-online sources that may be available to you online. (Non-online sources may include such items as grades or assignments that are mailed to us, or family information from enrollment applications.)

Besides this privacy policy and any applicable legal requirements for online privacy, educational records are also protected by federal law, and possibly by the laws of the state in which you live. HRCA is committed to compliance with all applicable laws governing the use and disclosure of educational records.

Non-Personal Information Collected

If you do not wish to accept cookies on your computer, you can modify the security settings on your web browser to refuse cookies, or to ask you each time whether to accept cookies. Choosing to set your browser to refuse cookies will likely cause some parts of the HRCA website to stop working.

Personal Information Collected

It is HRCA's policy not to share personally identifiable information collected online except insofar as it is necessary to share such information with others working as our agent in order to provide you with services or information. For example, if you provide us with your name and address online by buying an item from HRCA Educational Media, we may at some point send that name and address within a list of names to a mailing service so that you may receive new HRCA Educational Media catalogs. It is HRCA's policy not to provide any personal information to third parties who are not working as an agent of HRCA, such as third party vendors. We do not sell nor give away our mailing list.

HRCA may use your personal information to provide you with information about products, services, or events (such as upcoming conferences in your area). HRCA also provides information by email to families regarding grades, papers received, tests, etc. It is HRCA's policy to allow any user to opt-out of receiving emails. Users can opt-out of receiving bulk emails, and/or personal emails, or any emails. When HRCA sends bulk emails, it is our policy to include information on how to opt-out of receiving such emails.

Children under the age of 13 are protected under special federal legislation. It is HRCA's intent to fully comply with these federal regulations. It is HRCA's policy not to collect personal information from children online. Parents, however, when enrolling or making use of HRCA's online services may enter personal information about their children.
