Privacy Policy

I. Notice

This Privacy Policy details the practices that BocaVox, LLC has established to protect its users’ privacy. It will help you understand how we collect and use the information we collect. When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, BocaVox adheres strictly to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Collection and use of personal data

BocaVox, LLC provides Maestro SIS as a software solution for learning institutions, and as a default to its members, students, and parents/guardians. Throughout Maestro SIS we collect various types of personal information when a user registers at the chosen learning institution once they create and log in to their account. The information collected is used solely for the learning institution that selected Maestro SIS as their administrative system for admissions, and thereafter to manage personal academic data and communications once a student, parent, or guardian becomes accepted. Nothing herein is sold to any other organization for any commercial purposes and is only shared with third parties such as a learning management system (LMS) or payment gateways if your learning institution or payment gateway has requested for us to share it (see section III. DISCLOSURES/Onward Transfers of Personal Data). For students who reside in the European Union, we will require that they (or their parents, if underage), give us consent.

The personal information we collect may vary according to the type of learning institution or the school district involved and is not limited to: user name, user id, first and last name, role, organization affiliation, email address, phone number, birth date, personal records and billing information (which may include credit card and /or bank information) site tracking data (IP address and browser type, Operating system, java script version, cookies, activity, event) and in general the actions users take when they visit Maestro SIS, class information (assignments, files, notes, discussions, mail messages, links, reminders, and all other documents that you submit to Maestro SIS), and potentially any information submitted when creating an account in Maestro SIS.

For those applying to institutions of Higher Ed, it may be necessary for us to require your social security number, which will be encrypted in transit, and only the staff members at your institution and others involved in processing your financial aid, who have a justifiable need to see it, will have access.  

BocaVox uses personal data that it collects for the below business purposes:

1. To maintain & support Maestro SIS and contractual obligations with its partner schools
2. To verify user identity
3. Storage and processing of data in computer databases located in the USA
   ‍

II. CHOICE

BocaVox offers its users from the European Union the choice to apply to their learning institution through the Maestro SIS site or to contact their learning institution directly for other means of applying for admission.

In the event of Personal Data covered by this policy will be used for a new purpose, that is materially different from that for which it was intended, BocaVox will take the actions necessary to inform its customer and the users of Maestro SIS of the new purpose and provide the choice to whether to have their Personal Data used or disclosed.
