“Personal information” is information about an

We collect no personal

an e-mail or participating in a survey). If you choose
not to participate in these activities, your choice will
in no way affect your ability to use any other feature
of the Web site.
If personal information is
requested on the Web site or volunteered by the user,
this information may become public record once you
provide it, and may be subject to public inspection and
copying if not protected by law.
Users are cautioned that
the collection of personal information requested from or
volunteered by children on-line or by e-mail will be
treated the same as information given by an adult and
may be subject to public access.
If you choose to send e-mail to the CCS System
containing personally-identifying information, you
should be aware that such communications are not secure
and, in theory, could be viewed by anyone with access to
the Internet. CCS shall not disclose, without parental
consent, any student information that is confidential
pursuant to CCS Policy JR, JRA, N.C.G.S. §115C-402, or
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
