Waiver and Release of Liability* Introduction StreetCode LIVE is our collective effort to reach families in their homes, offering a hybrid of live and real-time digital curriculum in an online format. In line with its mission, StreetCode Academy is offering courses accessible to all online. Technology Vision Statement Technology is purposefully integrated to elevate and transform learning experiences. Each interaction with technology empowers students to become resourceful creators, confident inquirers, and critical thinkers. Guidance about how to act safely and ethically online helps our students thrive as digital citizens. Students and instructors strive to maintain balance in an extremely connected world. Accounts StreetCode Academy utilizes several computer software applications and web-based services, created, operated, and serviced not by StreetCode Academy directly, but by third parties. Some of these include but are not limited to, Dropbox, Adobe Suite, Google G-Suite, Tynker, Nearpod, and similar educational programs. Our instructors’ thoughtful and developmentally-appropriate use of these programs provides yet another way for us to engage students and individualize learning. So that StreetCode students can use these and other web-based software programs and services, certain personal identifying information (generally a student’s name, age, and email address) must be provided to the website or software owner or operator, so that, for example, student accounts or folders can be opened. Under federal law, these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children. US law permits programs such as StreetCode Academy to provide consent to the collection of personal information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for parents to provide direct consent to each digital service we utilize. Your acceptance of these terms will constitute your consent for StreetCode Academy to provide personal identifying information for you/your child required by the web site and/or software owners or operators noted above and to any additional web-based educational programs and services StreetCode Academy may add during the upcoming session. Recordings StreetCode Academy’s LIVE Program involves the use of video and/or audio recording of some or all of our online lessons, meetings, and other virtual communications. This is necessary in order for us to make available this important learning information for any students who are unable to participate in real-time due to illness or other reasons, to give students repeated access to these learning materials as appropriate, and to allow us to learn from and improve upon our online learning efforts and platform. It’s also important to protect participants and staff in any one-on-one interactions. Given the ability of video and audio recordings to pick up a broad range of sights and sounds, personal information about you, other members of your household and your home may be recorded. While our intent is not to record any private moments or to invade your privacy in any way, this is an inevitable outcome of using technology in Remote Learning. Recorded information may be shared with others, including third parties (such as Dropbox or Google when Zoom recordings are uploaded to the platform for sharing or review) who may necessarily need access to our learning materials for various purposes, including implementing our online platform. That said, the intent is to keep all recordings accessible to only the StreetCode Academy community. In addition, any virtual communication, including lessons and meetings, may be monitored by StreetCode at any time. Privacy We are committed to respecting the privacy of and protecting any personal information of our constituents. When partnering with a third party, we ensure their privacy policy adheres to and is compliant with applicable student privacy laws, including COPPA, FERPA, and CCPA. We only give access to the appropriate employees the information they are entitled to see. All links to sensitive information, scheduled Zoom calls, and recordings are either shared directly with constituents or password protected.
