East Valley Christian School respects the privacy of the families who visit our website and contact us about enrollment. This policy explains what information we collect through evcsonline.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
This policy covers our website and our enrollment communications. It does not cover student education records for enrolled students, which are handled separately under our student records policy.
East Valley Christian School and East Valley Christian Preschool are ministries of East Valley Pentecostal Church. In this policy, "we," "us," and "the school" refer to East Valley Christian School and East Valley Christian Preschool.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information only when you choose to give it to us. That usually happens when you:
- Submit an inquiry, tour request, or contact form
- Request tuition information
- Sign up to receive email updates from the school
- Begin or submit an application for admission
- Give a donation
Depending on the form, we may ask for your name, email address, phone number, your child's name and grade or age level, and how you heard about us. We only ask for what we need to answer your question and follow up with you.
We do not ask for or store payment card numbers on this website. Tuition payments, application fees, and donations are handled through separate third-party systems that maintain their own privacy and security practices.
Text Messaging
If you give us your mobile number and check the consent box on one of our forms, East Valley Christian School may send you text messages about your inquiry, your scheduled tour, your application status, and enrollment openings. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of enrollment or of receiving any information from us. You can submit any form on our site without agreeing to texts.
You can stop receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for assistance, or call the school office at (408) 270-2525.
We do not sell, rent, lease, or share mobile phone numbers or text messaging consent with any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes.
Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.
Mobile information is shared only with the messaging service providers we use to deliver our own messages to you, and those providers are contractually prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
For the full terms of our text messaging program, see our Terms and Conditions.
