Freshwater Education District Privacy Policy
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
For site management functions, information is collected for analysis and statistical purposes. This information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information (PII) and will not be released to any outside parties unless legally required to do so in connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings.
We use log analysis tools to create summary statistics, which are used for purposes such as assessing what information is of most interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. Our website logs do not collect personally identifiable information, and we make no attempt to link them with the individuals who browse district websites.

Data Security
Freshwater Education District employs administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect and maintain. While we strive to ensure the security of our systems, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies or other tracking technologies to improve user experience and analyze website usage. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.
Links to Other Websites
District websites have links to other websites, including those operated by other State of Minnesota agencies, schools, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses. When you link to another site, you are no longer on the district website, and this privacy statement is not applicable. You are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
Disclaimer
Neither the district, nor any agency, officer, or employee of the Freshwater Education District warrants the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information published by this system, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or services linked from this system, and shall not be held liable for any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of such information. Portions of such information may be incorrect or not current. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from this system does so at his or her own risk.
