US Great Schools (“we”, “us”) operates this website. This policy explains what information we handle, how we handle it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to make the site work.
1. Information we do NOT collect
You can browse school ratings and rankings without creating an account, and we do not require registration to use the site. We do not buy or collect personal data about visitors for marketing purposes.
2. Saved schools & compare lists
The “saved schools” and “compare” tools store your shortlist in your own browser (local storage / cookies on your device). This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or used by us.
3. Reviews & comments
If you post a review on a school page, we display the name and comment text you submit. We ask for an email address so we can moderate spam; your email is not shown publicly and is not used for marketing. Comments are visible to other visitors as public content.
4. Cookies & analytics
We use minimal cookies that are strictly necessary for site function (for example, remembering your saved list preference). If we add analytics or advertising in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be notified.
5. Logs & security
Like most websites, our server keeps standard logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) for security and to diagnose faults. These are retained temporarily and are not used to identify you.
6. Third parties
We do not sell your information. We do not share personal information with third parties except where required by law.
7. Children
Our site is intended for parents and adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
8. Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and revise the date below.
