Privacy Policy

We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it through one of the following means:

• Sending us an email inquiry
• Completing an online contact, registration, or application form
• Participating in a survey or feedback request
• Making an online payment or donation
• Subscribing to newsletters or school communications

Personal information you provide may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other details relevant to your interaction with the School. This information is used solely for the purpose stated at the time of collection and will not be sold, rented, or transferred to non-affiliated third parties unless explicitly disclosed or required by law.

Damien Memorial School takes the privacy of students and minors very seriously and complies with applicable federal and state laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Consent for Student Information

When collecting, using, or disclosing a student's personal information, the School will obtain consent from the appropriate party — either the student, the parent, or the legal guardian — based on the nature of the disclosure and the student's age and maturity.

Photos, Media, and Student Likeness

It is the School's best practice to obtain a signed media release or likeness consent form before publishing any photograph, video, schoolwork, or identifying information about students on our website, social media channels, or any other public-facing platform.

Parents or guardians who have questions about media consent or wish to update their consent status should contact the School's Communications Office directly.
