Use of Cookies
Our School Hangout uses cookies to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your device by a web server. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by the web server that issued the cookie.
Cookies are used to save time by recalling preferences or login details. For example, if you personalize pages or register for services, a cookie helps recall that information on future visits. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers accept them automatically, but you can usually change your settings to decline. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use some interactive features of Our School Hangout.
Security of Your Personal Information
Our Hangouts LLC takes the security of your personal information seriously. Your data is stored on secure servers in a controlled environment with restricted access.
When transmitting sensitive information (such as credit card or bank details) to our payment processor, we use industry-standard encryption methods such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and other secure protocols to help protect your data during transmission.
All payments made through Our School Hangout are processed by a trusted third-party payment processor that is PCI DSS compliant and uses bank-level encryption to protect card and bank account information.
We do not store full credit card or bank account numbers on our servers.
While we take every reasonable measure to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. By using Our School Hangout, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
If our payment processor’s risk or compliance team requires further documentation (such as business verification), they may contact you directly, and our team will be notified to assist as needed.
