Therefore, ParentOrganizer will never sell, trade, share, or rent your personal information to any organization that you have not designated. ParentOrganizer has created this privacy guarantee in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our visitors and members.

The following information outlines our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: www.ParentOrganizer.com.

School or Organization Membership Registration
We ask users who wish to activate their schools or organization to complete a Membership Form. Users who would be registering are school or organization administrators. On this form we ask for their school name, district name, who the assigned System Administrator for ParentOrganizer will be (who will be managing the system), their title, phone and email, the direct supervisor to the System Administrator (so that we can verify for security reasons), their title and phone. We ask the names of the teachers and their classes or programs leaders and their programs to enable the personalized system to work for the parent members. Once users are given access to ParentOrganizer, they are assigned a Member ID so that ParentOrganizer, for security reasons, is able to track the user roles and assigned views. We do not disclose any information we collect to any third parties.

Contact Us Page
We use email links located on the 'contact us' page to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. We read every message sent in and try to reply promptly to every one. This information is used to respond directly to your questions or comments. We may also file your comments to improve the site and program, or review and discard the information. Your personal information is not shared or disclosed to third parties.

Parents have access to information about themselves and their own children, and general information about the school, but do not have access to any other parent or child's personal information. Parents can make no online changes, additions or deletions to the information provided by the schools or organizations, although they can change their own email address and password.

At the school or organization level, representatives from the school is designated to be a System Administrator and they are the only persons who have access to all that school's information. Each individual school or organization determines what level of access teachers and administrators will have.

Online Payment
All users within the private, secure portions of our website have access to the ecommerce feature. ParentOrganizer has contracted with Checkspace.com to supply this feature to our users. Once our users click on the purchase button, they are taken out of ParentOrganizer and into Fidesic.com. Except as set forth below, ParentOrganizer.com and Fidesic.com do not share personal user information with each other. Users should review the privacy policy for Fidesic.com to learn their privacy practices.

When a user clicks on the purchase button and leaves ParentOrganizer.com for Fidesic.com, we send with them their Member ID in encrypted form. We do not give Fidesic the ability to unencrypt the Member ID, so no readable personally identifiable information is transferred to them.

If a user makes a purchase at Fidesic, ParentOrganizer receives from Fidesic the Member ID (still encrypted) together with the total amount of the purchase and the number of purchasing transactions during the period.

ParentOrganizer then unencrypts only the school or organization ID and Role ID portions of the Member ID, so that we can properly credit schools or organizations for purchases made and keep track of participation and use of the ParentOrganization payment service.

Technical Support Page for all Users
Users can click on the technical support button to receive technical support. We ask for the name, and email address of the user, and give them a comment area where they can type their question. We have an automated process that can respond to many questions; otherwise, the user's question is sent to ParentOrganizer's support department. We answer their question via email and delete the user's email address. We keep the incident for our support records.
