Discovery Charter School Mobile Texting Privacy Policy
At Discovery Charter School, we understand the importance of protecting student and parent/guardian information. This privacy policy applies to all text messages sent by or received from the school using our mobile messaging system.
1. Information Collection: We collect phone numbers provided by students, parents/guardians, and staff members who opt-in to receive text messages from the school. This information is used solely for communication purposes related to school activities and operations.

3. Opting Out: You may opt-out of receiving text messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any message received from the school's mobile messaging system. After sending "STOP", you will no longer receive messages unless you subsequently re-opt-in.
4. Data Security: We take reasonable measures to protect personal information collected through our text messaging system from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security due to the nature of wireless communications and potential vulnerabilities inherent in electronic communication systems.
5. Access and Correction: If you wish to review or correct any information we have collected from you via text messages, please contact our school office during regular business hours at 219-983-6600 or by emailing jhaubold@discoverycharter.org.
