– for children under 13, student accounts can only be created under a teacher or school sponsored account (using an invite code), otherwise express written permission from a parent or guardian is required.
– by default, blogs are private and can only be made public with the approval of an administrator.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, AISD Website Builder, collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. AISD Website Builder’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how AISD Website Builder’s visitors use its website. From time to time, AISD Website Builder may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

AISD Website Builder also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on AISD Website Builder blogs. AISD Website Builder only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

The amount and type of information that AISD Website Builder gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at AISD Website Builder to provide a username and email address (which is provided by the district for students). AISD Website Builder does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
