Using their Google for Education accounts, students may access and use the following “Core Services” offered by Google (described at https://gsuite.google.com/terms/user_features.html): 

In addition, we also allow students to access certain other Google services with their Google for Education accounts. Specifically, your child may have access to the following “Additional Services”:

You can read that notice online at https://gsuite.google.com/terms/education_privacy.html You should review this information in its entirety, but below are answers to some common questions:

What personal information does Google collect?

When creating a student account, Cut Bank School District #15 may provide Google with certain personal information about the student, including, for example, a name, email address, and password. 

When a student uses Google services, Google also collects information based on the use of those services. This includes:

How does Google use this information? 

In Google for Education Core Services, Google uses student personal information to provide, maintain, and protect the services. Google does not serve ads in the Core Services or use personal information collected in the Core Services for advertising purposes.

In Google Additional Services, Google uses the information collected from all Additional Services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Google and its users. Google may also use this information to offer tailored content, such as more relevant search results. Google may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Google services.

Does Google use student personal information for users in K-12 schools to target advertising?

No. For Google for Education users in primary and secondary (K-12) schools, Google does not use any user personal information (or any information associated with an Google for Education Account) to target ads, whether in Core Services or in other Additional Services accessed while using an Google for Education account.

Can my child share information with others using the Google for Education account?

We allow students to access Google services such as Google Docs and Sites, which include features where users can share information with others or publicly. When users share information publicly, it may be indexable by search engines, including Google.

Will Google disclose my child’s personal information?

Google will not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Google unless one of the following circumstances applies:

Google also shares non-personal information -- such as trends about the use of its services -- publicly and with its partners.

What choices do I have as a parent or guardian?

First, you can consent to the collection and use of your child’s information by Google by signing the Student Handbook form. If you don’t provide your consent, we will not create a Google for Education account for your child, and Google will not collect or use your child’s information as described in this notice. 

If you consent to your child’s use of Google for Education, you can access or request deletion of your child’s Google for Education account by contacting your student’s building principal. If you wish to stop any further collection or use of your child's information, you can request that we use the service controls available to limit your child’s access to features or services, or delete your child’s account entirely. You and your child can also visit https://myaccount.google.com while signed in to the Google for Education account to view and manage the personal information and settings of the account.

What if I have more questions or would like to read further?

If you have questions about our use of Google’s Google for Education accounts or the choices available to you, please contact your building principal. If you want to learn more about how Google collects, uses, and discloses personal information to provide services to us, please review the Google for Education Privacy Center (at https://www.google.com/edu/trust/), the Google for Education Privacy Notice (at https://gsuite.google.com/terms/education_privacy.html), and the Google Privacy Policy (at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/).
