PRIVACY POLICY

BB&N takes extensive precautions to protect website users’ privacy and personally identifiable information. SSL encryption is activated on the BB&N website whenever personal data is collected, cookies are used but are in no way linked to any personally identifiable information, and a user’s website browsing is not tracked. Any personal information provided by users via BB&N’s website—through forums that include admission inquiries, online giving forms, or the enrolled family and alumni/ae directories—is used by BB&N exclusively for official school business. BB&N will not disclose or sell personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties. The School reserves the right to disclose personal information to appropriate third parties if required to do so by law or if the administration deems that such action is necessary.

BB&N complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires that website operators never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.

The School’s website contains occasional hyperlinks to other sites not administered by BB&N. Please be aware that BB&N is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

BB&N encourages members of the School community to provide updates as needed to assure that the School has accurate, current contact information. These updates can be provided via the website or directly to either the Registrar’s Office or the Alumni/ae Office, as the case applies.

Members of the School community must keep website passwords, and password-restricted content, confidential. Users are solely responsible for password confidentiality and security, and bear complete responsibility for any use of the password. Users should notify BB&N immediately at communications@bbns.org of any theft or unauthorized use of one’s password.
