IP addresses and other persistent identifiers are collected, used, and treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law, including COPPA where applicable. Such identifiers may constitute personal information under certain circumstances.
USE OF COOKIES
Our Site may use “cookies” and similar tracking technologies to help personalize your online experience, including within Navia. A cookie is a small data file stored on your device by your web browser. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you. We use cookies to keep track of how you are using our Site and to tailor our content to your interests. Our Site may also use persistent identifiers, pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies in connection with analytics or operational services. Where such technologies are used in connection with children under 13, they are deployed solely for purposes permitted under COPPA and not for behavioral advertising or user profiling. AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District cookies do not contain any personal information about students enrolled in AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District’s educational programs. We will not share or sell non-aggregated information contained within cookies to any third party. The cookies we use are erased when you log off the Site or completely close your browser.
PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
You can use portions of our Site without divulging any personal information, including your e-mail address. Our Site does not collect personal information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis (for example, enrolling in a school and registering for classes; requesting a catalog; requesting additional information by contacting us; posting a message to a message board; requesting help; or accessing, adding to, or changing the information on your account information page on the Site).
When you use Navia to apply for or enroll in a program, we may collect additional personally identifiable information (“PII”) necessary to process enrollment and determine eligibility. When you register yourself or your children for whom you are the parent or legal guardian for an AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District program or participate in an AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District program, we may collect information regarding you and your children, as applicable. This personal information may be collected on our Site, through Navia, or collected via telephone or conventional mail.

In connection with Navia, this may also include information such as date of birth, contact information, residency information, prior education history, employment status, eligibility-related information, and other information required to support enrollment, program placement, or compliance with state or partner requirements.
AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District does not knowingly collect biometric identifiers (such as fingerprints, facial templates, voiceprints, or iris patterns) or government-issued identifiers (such as Social Security numbers, passport numbers, or state identification numbers) through the Site or Navia, except where expressly required to verify enrollment eligibility and disclosed at the time of collection. To the extent any such information is collected, it is treated as personal information under this Privacy Policy and applicable law, including COPPA, where applicable.
Once you have registered yourself or your children for an AchievePoint Virtual Academy – South District program (whether you registered on our Site, through Navia, or through offline communications), there is an online service for all such programs. There will be a personal information page on the Site that contains some or all of your personal information.

Use of Automated Decision-Making Technology/Artificial Intelligence
We may use automated tools to support our operations, security, service delivery, communications, website functionality, and analytics. These tools may process personal information to help us identify trends, improve the Site and our services, maintain account and platform security, personalize user experience, measure engagement, detect fraud or misuse, and support internal reporting and program administration.
We do not use automated decision-making technology to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about an individual, such as eligibility for educational services, enrollment, academic placement, grading, disciplinary action, employment, housing, insurance, or credit, unless and until we provide any notices, choices, or other rights required by applicable law. Where automated tools are used to assist human review, final decisions are not based solely on automated processing.
We may also use profiling or similar automated processing to evaluate website usage, engagement, preferences, or service performance, including through cookies, pixels, software development kits, log data, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These tools may collect or receive information such as IP address, device and browser information, unique online identifiers, pages viewed, links clicked, approximate location information derived from IP address, referral URLs, and information about how users interact with our Site or services.
We use this information to understand traffic and usage patterns, administer and improve the Site and our services, troubleshoot performance and security issues, evaluate content and communications effectiveness, and support our legitimate business and educational purposes. We do not use Google Analytics or similar analytics tools to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on users.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice regarding our use of automated decision-making technology or profiling, conduct required assessments, honor applicable opt-out or choice rights, and offer access to information about such processing. Residents of certain states may have the right to request information about, or opt out of, certain profiling or automated processing used in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
You can learn more about the cookies and similar technologies we use, and the choices that may be available to you, in the “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” section of this Privacy Policy.
