Salem Community High School (SCHS) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting any personal information you share with us. You can visit our website without revealing personal information. In some cases, however, we may ask for personal information in order to provide the services you request. Such information will be used by SCHS only to conduct official school business and will never be disseminated by SCHS to any unaffiliated third party. All of the information that we collect from you is subject to this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By using this site, you agree to be bound by these terms.

Terms of Use

This website is intended to provide news and information about SCHS. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of content.

No part of this site or its contents—including, but not limited to, the school logo—may be copied, reproduced, modified, retransmitted, distributed, published, commercially exploited, or otherwise transferred without written permission from SCHS.

Information Collection and Use

SCHS does not track, collect, or distribute personal information about site visitors. However, we do collect some information about site visits. We have access to domain names and IP addresses of visitors. We compile statistics that show the number of visitors and the number of requests we receive for particular pages or files on the site. These statistics are used internally to evaluate and improve the site. The statistics contain no personal information (or email addresses) and cannot be used to gather such information.

Current guardians of SCHS students are provided access to specific password-protected areas of our website, which may contain personally identifiable information, such as contact information for other SCHS families.

Email Privacy and Spam

The website contains email addresses of faculty and staff. Use of this information for private, commercial, or political mailings and/or distribution to any outside party is prohibited. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please contact SCHS at (618) 548-0727.

External Transactions and Links

While the SCHS website does not facilitate online donations or transactions, some pages may contain links to secure third-party websites for such purposes. We are committed to the privacy of all users on these platforms.

The SCHS website may also contain links to other (external) sites. SCHS is not responsible for the privacy policies or content provided by these sites.

Cookies

Using Google Analytics, we collect some anonymous information about how you use the site by setting and accessing cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from the website to your hard drive. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie terminates once you close the browser, while a persistent cookie is stored on your hard drive for an extended period. These stored cookies will not allow us to learn any personally identifiable information that you have not otherwise disclosed. At no time will the cookies reveal to SCHS or to others your name, email address, street address, or telephone number.

The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major websites. It is possible to adjust your browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive or to refuse cookies altogether. However, this may significantly alter what you are able to see or access on the SCHS website.
