Privacy Policy

Overview

Burleson Independent School District ("Burleson ISD" or "the District") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of individuals who interact with its digital platforms. This includes the District’s website, online portals, web-based applications, social media pages, and mobile applications.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information the District collects, how that information is used, and under what circumstances it may be shared. By accessing or using any of Burleson ISD’s digital resources, you agree to the terms of this policy. The District reserves the right to revise this policy at any time, and continued use of the site after changes are posted indicates your acceptance of those changes.

 

Information We Collect

1. Non-Personally Identifying Information

Like most websites, Burlesonisd.net collects non-personally identifying information that is commonly shared by web browsers and servers. This includes browser type, language preference, referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request. This data helps the District better understand how users interact with the site and informs improvements to the user experience.

The District may occasionally publish aggregated, non-personally identifying information—for example, to report on website traffic trends or download activity.

2. Potentially Identifying Information

Burlesonisd.net may also collect information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. While this data could technically be used to identify individual users, the District does not use it for that purpose and does not disclose it unless required by law.

3. Personally Identifying Information

Certain features of the District’s website may require users to submit personally identifying information, such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. For instance, users submitting a contact form may be asked to provide an email address and telephone number. This information is collected only to the extent necessary to fulfill the user’s request or enable participation in a service.

4. Online Enrollment and Forms

For functions such as online student registration or form submissions, users will be asked to provide specific personal and household information. This data is securely collected and used solely for the intended administrative or educational purposes.

5. Newsletter Subscriptions and Notifications

If you subscribe to District communications such as newsletters or alerts, your contact information may be used to send you occasional updates, surveys, or announcements. You may opt out of non-essential messages at any time, although the District may still contact you regarding important operational matters.

 

Use of Information

Burleson ISD may use collected information for the following purposes:

  • Communication – To notify users of important updates, respond to inquiries, or deliver services they’ve requested.
     
  • Analytics and Improvement – To assess the effectiveness of online platforms and improve functionality and accessibility.
     
  • User Engagement – To deliver updates about District programs, events, or opportunities that may be relevant to you.
     
  • Security and Maintenance – To monitor system integrity, address technical issues, and prevent unauthorized access.
     

 

Sharing of Information

Burleson ISD does not rent, sell, or trade personally identifying information. We may share user data under the following limited circumstances:

  • With Service Providers – Third-party vendors who assist in supporting the District’s operations (e.g., hosting, analytics, communication) may be granted access to information as needed, under strict confidentiality agreements.
     
  • With Legal Authorities – If required by law, the District may disclose personal information to comply with legal processes or law enforcement requests.
     
  • With Consent – In specific cases, the District may share information with your explicit consent.
     

 

Protection of Data

Burleson ISD implements appropriate technical and administrative safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, or destruction of personal data. These include secure data handling procedures, routine system monitoring, and access control protocols.

 

Aggregated Statistics

Burlesonisd.net may compile aggregate statistics on how users engage with the website—for example, identifying the most frequently visited pages or tracking download activity. This information does not identify individual users and is used solely for analytics and service improvement.

 

External Links

The District’s website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms. These sites operate independently and have their own privacy practices. Burleson ISD is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of external websites and encourages users to review those policies when visiting third-party services.

 

Data Retention

The District retains personal data only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Usage data may be retained longer when required for security analysis, system improvement, or legal compliance.
