Privacy Policy

The Public School Manifesto was created to encourage thoughtful conversation about public education. Respect for our visitors extends beyond the experience itself—it includes how we handle your information.

Our goal is simple:

We collect as little information as possible, and we never sell your personal information.

Most of the Public School Manifesto can be explored without creating an account or providing personal information.

If you simply visit the site, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as:

• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• General geographic region (city, state, or country)
• Pages visited
• Time spent on pages
• Anonymous usage statistics

This information is collected only to help us improve the experience.

It is never used to identify you personally.

The Discovery Experience (“What Story Is Your School Telling?”) is designed to encourage personal reflection.

Your responses:

• are anonymous
• are not connected to your identity
• are not shared publicly
• are not sold or provided to third parties

Anonymous, aggregated responses may be analyzed to help us better understand how visitors experience the questions. These analyses are used only to improve the experience and inform future research.

Some areas of the website may invite you to voluntarily provide information, such as:

• subscribing to updates
• joining future conversations
• contacting us
• submitting a field report or story
• registering for events or newsletters

When you choose to provide personal information, we use it only for the purpose you requested.

We will never sell your personal information.

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• remember basic preferences
• understand how visitors use the site
• improve performance
• measure anonymous traffic

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not function as intended.

We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the experience.

Analytics help us answer questions such as:

• Which exhibits are most frequently visited?
• Where do visitors choose to begin?
• Which experiences encourage deeper engagement?

Whenever possible, this information is collected in aggregate and without identifying individual visitors.

The Public School Manifesto is intended for educators, parents, community members, and others interested in public education.

It is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The website may contain links to other websites, videos, or external resources.

Those sites maintain their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information entrusted to us.

While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we continually work to protect the integrity of our systems.

As the Public School Manifesto grows, this Privacy Policy may be updated.

When significant changes are made, the Effective Date at the top of this page will be updated.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how information is handled, please contact us.

Just as every conclusion in the Manifesto deserves inspection, so does the way we care for your information. If you have questions about this policy, we welcome the conversation.
