Privacy Policy

When you visit our website, our servers automatically log basic, non-personal data to help us understand how people use our site. This includes:

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
• The type of web browser and device you are using.
• The dates, times, and pages you visit.

We use "cookies" (small text files saved to your device) to improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and track general website traffic trends through tools like Google Analytics. You can choose to disable cookies through your web browser settings at any time, though some website features may not work perfectly as a result.

Our website utilizes Ask AI (powered by Finalsite) to provide automated assistance to visitors.

• Data storage: When you chat with our website assistant, the system uses temporary session storage to follow the conversation.
• Source material: The AI assistant strictly answers questions using publicly available information directly pulled from our verified school website pages and official district documents.

​​​​​​​Accuracy disclaimer: While we strive to keep our website content accurate, AI-generated responses are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute official district policy. Wayzata Public Schools is not responsible for inaccurate, incomplete, or altered information generated by the AI assistant. For official verification of school policies, calendars, or enrollment rules, please consult our main website pages or contact the district office directly.

We only collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) when you voluntarily submit it through an online form, enrollment portal, contact request, or email subscription.

• No selling of data: We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
• Educational exceptions: We only share data with verified third-party vendors who provide essential school services (like ParentSquare or our student information systems) under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Data security: We use modern security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control.

Our website contains links to external websites managed by other organizations (such as athletic scheduling sites or educational software). Wayzata Public Schools is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites.
