Information We Collect
Personal Information: We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out contact forms on our Website. This information may include your name, phone number, and email address. This information is collected solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries and providing you with the information you request.

Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal information with third parties, except when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or other legal process, or to protect the safety and security of our users.
Data Security
Our Website does not accept external user registrations and is only accessible by registered administrative staff. We regularly review and monitor access logs. The Website and its data are protected by a third-party firewall, and a separate security plugin monitors suspicious activity and blocks IP addresses that attempt malicious intrusion. Data is securely stored on our web server and is only accessible by authorized administrators.
Parental Rights and Controls
We do not publish any child’s personal information on our Website. Protected information, i.e. photos or videos of children, are restricted to private access and are only accessible by invitation. We use technology to hide pages and posts from search engines to prevent external discovery. URLs containing protected information are hashed to prevent easy guessing (e.g., lotwschool.com/iweag90h32ARY2354).
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services such as Google Analytics to help us understand site usage and improve our content. Google Analytics collects information about your use of the Website and transmits it to Google. Google’s privacy policy for analytics use is available here, and information on their safeguarding practices is here. We may also include a Facebook feed on our site to display recent posts, but we do not share data reciprocally with Facebook.
Compliance
Our school complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and undergoes an annual review of privacy practices by a State of Texas Compliance Review Unit officer.
