This Privacy Policy explains how AISL may collect, use, store, protect, and disclose personal information obtained through its website, admissions processes, school communications, online forms, and related digital services.
By using the AISL website or voluntarily providing information to AISL, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.
AISL may collect personal information necessary for legitimate educational, administrative, safeguarding, admissions, employment, and operational purposes. This may include:
AISL seeks to collect only information reasonably necessary for legitimate school purposes.
AISL recognizes that information relating to children requires particular care.
Personal information concerning students and prospective students will be collected, processed, stored, and shared only where reasonably necessary for educational, administrative, safeguarding, health, legal, or operational purposes.
Where consent is required, AISL will seek authorization from a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized person as appropriate.
Children should not independently submit sensitive personal information through the AISL website unless instructed to do so through an approved school process.
AISL may use personal information to:
AISL will not sell student or family personal information to third parties.
Certain information collected by AISL may be sensitive, particularly student health, medical, disability, learning-support, safeguarding, or identification information.
AISL will take reasonable measures to restrict access to such information to authorized persons who require it for legitimate professional purposes.
AISL may photograph or record school events, classroom activities, performances, sports, field trips, celebrations, and other activities.
Where required, AISL will obtain appropriate parent or guardian consent before using identifiable student images or recordings for external promotional purposes, including the school website, brochures, advertising, or official social-media platforms.
Parents or guardians may contact the school regarding applicable media-consent preferences.
AISL may share relevant information, where appropriate and lawful, with:
AISL expects third-party service providers handling personal information on its behalf to maintain appropriate privacy and security protections.
Because AISL serves an international community and may use international educational and technology providers, certain personal information may be processed or stored outside Cameroon.
Where such transfers occur, AISL will seek to use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information and applicable legal requirements.
AISL takes reasonable administrative, organizational, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
Access to sensitive school records should be limited to authorized individuals according to their professional responsibilities.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and AISL therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.
AISL retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the educational, administrative, safeguarding, contractual, historical, regulatory, or legal purpose for which it was collected.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of record and applicable requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably required, AISL may securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it as appropriate.
The AISL website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, understand website usage, maintain security, and enhance visitors' experience.
Where required by applicable law, visitors will be provided with appropriate information and choices regarding non-essential cookies.
Users may also be able to control cookies through their browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
The AISL website may contain links to external websites or services.
AISL is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of independently operated third-party websites. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.
Subject to applicable law and appropriate identity verification, parents, guardians, employees, applicants, and other individuals may contact AISL to request:
Certain school records may need to be retained despite a deletion request because of educational, safeguarding, contractual, regulatory, or legal obligations.
AISL may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in school operations, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
The most recent version will be published on the AISL website with an updated revision date.
