Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 08, 2026

Veritas Classical Academy (“Veritas,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of the families, students, donors, and visitors who interact with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at veritasmarietta.com (the “Site”), our online forms, email, and text messaging, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Who We Are

Veritas Classical Academy is a private Christian classical school located at 115 Victory Place, Marietta, Ohio 45750. If you have questions about this policy, you can reach us at [email protected] or 740-885-2033.

2. Information We Collect

Information you give us. We collect information you choose to provide, for example when you:

• Fill out our contact form or another form on the Site (first and last name, email address, phone number, the subject of your inquiry, and your message)
• Ask about admissions, request or schedule a school tour, or sign up for an event
• Make a donation or purchase event tickets
• Opt in to receive text messages or emails from us
• Call, email, or message us on social media

If you are a parent or guardian, the information you share may include details about your child, such as name, age, and grade of interest, so we can answer your admissions questions.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the Site. We use cookies and similar technologies for this, including Google Tag Manager and Google analytics tools, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and Google reCAPTCHA (which helps protect our forms from spam).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions and requests
• Guide prospective families through admissions, including tours, follow-up, and enrollment information
• Send school updates, event information, reminders, and newsletters
• Process donations and event registrations and send receipts
• Send text messages to people who have opted in (see Section 4)
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it and measure our outreach
• Protect the Site and our forms from spam, fraud, and misuse
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Text Messaging (SMS)

If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages from us (for example by checking a consent box on one of our forms), we may send you text messages about admissions inquiries, tour and appointment reminders, school events, and general school updates. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at [email protected] or 740-885-2033. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of enrollment, donation, or any purchase.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Information may be shared only with service providers that help us deliver our messages (such as our messaging platform and phone carriers), and they may use it only for that purpose.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers that help us run the school and the Site, such as our website host, our customer relationship and communications platform (used for email and text messaging), our student information and enrollment system (Gradelink), payment processors for donations and tickets, and analytics and advertising tools (Google and Meta). They may use your information only to provide services to us.
• Legal and safety reasons, when we believe disclosure is required by law, court order, or legal process, or is needed to protect the safety of our students, staff, families, or others.
• With your consent or at your direction.

All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. That information will not be shared with any third parties.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We use cookies and pixels to understand Site traffic and to show relevant ads about Veritas on platforms such as Google and Facebook/Instagram. You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can also manage ad personalization through your Google Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com) and your Facebook ad preferences. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the Site work.

Embedded content. Some pages include content embedded from other websites, such as maps, videos, calendars, or donation and ticket forms. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.

Comments and site logins. If comments are enabled and you leave one, we collect the information in the comment form plus your IP address and browser type to help detect spam. Comments may be checked by an automated spam-detection service. Site administrators who log in receive login cookies. These cookies do not apply to ordinary visitors.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for parents, guardians, donors, and other adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13. Information about a child is provided by a parent or guardian. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us through the Site, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.

8. Student Records

Records for enrolled students, including applications and enrollment forms completed in our student information system, are maintained by the school and handled according to our school policies. This Privacy Policy covers information collected through the Site, our forms, email, and text messaging.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No website, email, or text transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as answering your inquiry, maintaining admissions and donor records, and meeting legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Afterward, we delete it or keep it in a form that no longer identifies you.

11. Your Choices

• Email: Click “unsubscribe” in any marketing email.
• Text messages: Reply STOP to any message.
• Access, correction, or deletion: Contact us at [email protected] to ask what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. We will respond within a reasonable time, subject to any records we must keep by law.

12. Links to Other Websites

The Site links to other websites, such as our Gradelink enrollment portal and state scholarship program websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, so please review their privacy policies.

13. Changes to This Policy
