Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This policy is a general template provided for the website rebuild. It should be reviewed and adapted by legal counsel before it is relied upon as UTVA's official privacy policy.

Overview

Utah Virtual Academy (UTVA) is a tuition-free, accredited online public school. We respect the privacy of the families, students, and visitors who use our website, and we are committed to being transparent about the information we collect and how we use it.

Information We Collect

When you fill out a form on our site, such as requesting our Family Guide, asking a question, or beginning enrollment, we may collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, phone number, your student's grade level, and your message. We do not ask you to submit sensitive personal information through this website.

Like most websites, we also automatically collect limited technical information through cookies and analytics tools, such as your browser type, device, pages visited, and general location. This helps us understand how families use the site and how we can improve it.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to respond to your questions, send the resources you request, guide you through enrollment, and keep you informed about programs and events relevant to your family. We use analytics data to maintain and improve the website. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to remember your preferences and to measure site traffic through analytics services. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; doing so may affect how some parts of the site function.

Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted third-party providers to operate our website and communicate with families. For example, form submissions and email may be delivered through an email service provider such as Resend. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services and are expected to protect it accordingly.

Student Records & FERPA

As a public school, UTVA protects student education records in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and applicable Utah law. Student education records maintained by the school are governed by those protections rather than by this website policy. Enrolled families can contact the school office for information about their rights under FERPA.

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended to be used by parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this site without appropriate consent.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
