JULIA MORGAN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS WEBSITE TERMS OF USE Thank you for visiting the Julia Morgan School for Girls (“JMSG”) website (“Website”). These terms of use (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of our Website. By accessing or using the Website, you signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, regardless of whether you are a member of our community, including a teacher, parent, guardian or enrolled student, or a visitor. Portions of our Website are restricted to the members of our community to whom we provide password and login information. These Terms of Use also describe the specific rules and limitations that govern the use of those restricted areas of the Website.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without notice. Your continued use of the Website after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Website. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Website to determine whether there have been changes to these Terms of Use, and to review such changes.
Please read these terms of use carefully, as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, remedies, and obligations. These include various limitations and exclusions, and a dispute resolution clause that governs how disputes will be resolved.
I. Use of the Public Portions of our Website We refer to the areas of our Website that do not require you to login as our public site (“Public Site”). All content on the Public Site, including but not limited to designs, text, graphics, pictures, video, information, applications, software, music, sound and other files, and their selection and arrangement (the “Public Site Content”), are the property of JMSG or its licensors with all rights reserved. No Public Site Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without JMSG’s prior written permission.
We do grant search engines a limited license to read, extract, copy and create references to our Public Site and all of its content in order to allow our Website to be readily found by the public through organic searches. However, this license does not extend to a grant of permission to copy or compile our images to a cache of generic images or to otherwise use our Website content for any purpose other than allowing the accurate search and retrieval of the Website in response to user searches. This license is revocable by JMSG at any time without notice, and with or without cause.
A. Ownership of Intellectual Property We own or have licensed all of the intellectual property contained in the Public Site, including but not limited to all of the trademarks, logos, slogans, images, written works, and design of the Website. By using the Public Site, you agree not to use any of our trademarks or trade dress in any way that is likely to cause confusion or dilute the strength of our brand and marks. You further agree not to copy, imitate, use, or create derivative works from any of our images, text, design or other works of expression, in whole or in part. Finally, you agree that you will not seek to establish any rights in our intellectual property under your own name or that of any person or entity whom you represent. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms of Use shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable by JMSG at any time without notice, and with or without cause.
II. Use of the Restricted Portions of our Website All of the policies that govern our Public Site also apply to our Restricted Site. In addition, each of the following terms specifically applies to our Restricted Site:
A. What Is Restricted We have created a separate area of our Website, which is called the restricted site (“Restricted Site”).
A portion of our Restricted Site is open to parents, guardians, teachers, students and school administrators. It includes pages that allow teachers and administrators to post general information.
B. Who May Access the Restricted Site You may only access the Restricted Site if we provide you with login and password information. In addition, your login and password information is unique to you. It may limit your access to certain portions of the Restricted Site. You may not use another person’s login information to access the Restricted Site. In the event that your password becomes publicly known, notify a Website administrator, who can reset your password so that it is private again. JMSG may require you to prove your identity before it will issue another password to you. This is for the protection of our students.
There are or may be areas of the Restricted Site that are not normally accessible to parents or guardians. Upon reasonable request, we will provide parents and guardians with access to these areas of the Website, however we prohibit parents or guardians from posting to these areas.
C. User Conduct Use of the Restricted Site is subject to the same code of conduct that we maintain for all JMSG students. You must be respectful, courteous, honest, and law abiding in connection with everything that you post and access at the Restricted Site. The specific requirements listed below are merely examples of the types of conduct that we either expect or prohibit, but this is not an exhaustive list. We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your use of and access to the Restricted Site, and to take any other legal action that may be available to us, if your behavior warrants it.
You represent, warrant, and agree that no materials of any kind submitted through your account or otherwise posted, transmitted, or shared by you on or through the Website will violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other personal or proprietary rights. You agree to indemnify JMSG against all damages, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any claims of infringement or claims of personal injury or violation of other propriety rights relating to materials submitted through your account or otherwise posted, transmitted, or shared by you on or through the Website. You also agree that if we conclude that you are in violation of any of our Terms of Use, we may immediately terminate your access to the Restricted Site or the Website.
In addition, you agree not to use the Website to:
- Bully, intimidate, harass, embarrass, alienate, make fun of, or otherwise harm or endanger any person;

- Solicit personal or sensitive information from anyone under eighteen (18) years of age, or solicit passwords, sensitive information or personally identifying information for commercial, objectionable or unlawful purposes;
- Upload, post, transmit, share or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of the Website;
- Upload, post, transmit, share, store or otherwise make available content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party, or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law;
- Use or attempt to use another’s account without authorization from JMSG or create a false identity on the Website;
- Upload, post, transmit, share, store or otherwise make available content that, in the sole judgment of JMSG, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Website, or which may expose JMSG or its users to any harm or liability of any type.
In addition, you agree that information posted on our Restricted Site is private and should never be copied and reposted on other sites, including social media. This is important for the safety and security of all our students and their families.

JULIA MORGAN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS PRIVACY POLICY Welcome to the JMSG website (“Website”). The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices. By using or accessing the Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Who We Are This Website is operated by the Julia Morgan School for Girls, or JMSG. Our contact information is here:
JMSG
Website Administrator
5000 Macarthur Blvd., PMB 9966
Oakland, CA 94613
Portions of our web operations are handled by an outside vendor. Its information is here:
Blackbaud
5 East Point Drive
Bedford, NH 03110
What We Collect In operating our Website, we collect the following information:
1) Internet Protocol addresses (“IP addresses”) from visitors who come to our Website in order to track Website and web page traffic and analyze statistics relating to our visitors’ IP addresses;
2) Aggregated information about the number of visitors to particular pages in our Website; and
3) All information that any user inputs, posts, uploads, shares or stores at our Website, including search terms entered at our Website and user generated content uploaded to our Website.
Through our school operations, we already collect and safeguard information about our students and their parents or legal guardians, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and, for our students, dates of birth, medical information and other matters. In connection with our Website, we issue login and password information to our students and to their parents or guardians, so that they can access restricted portions of our Website. When either students or parents or guardians use our Website to post or share additional information about themselves, we also have access to, and frequently archive, that information.
The Website may also use “cookies”, which are text packets sent by the server to a user’s web browser and then sent back unchanged by the user’s browser each time it accesses that server. Cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences. No personally identifiable information is exchanged via cookies. We may use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to the Website. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this feature. If you post user content to the Website, such as messages, notes, text, information, images, photos, video, and other content that you upload, publish or display through the Website, or transmit to or share with other users, you do so at your own risk. JMSG cannot control the actions of other users, so we do not guarantee that your user content will not be viewed by unauthorized users. You agree that JMSG shall not be responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of your user content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or stored your user content.
Children Under 13 Many of our students are under 13 years old. If you are under 13, you are required to have your parent or guardian consent to you using our site. JMSG will not allow children under 13 years old to have a login and password to our Website without their parent's or guardian’s permission. JMSG will not, as a condition of use of the Website, ask a child under age 13 for more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to use the Website. You agree that JMSG shall not be responsible for the actions or inactions of any individual or entity JMSG does not employ.
How We Use and Share the Information We Collect We do not use our Website for any non-school purpose. We do not use banner ads or ever sell personal information of any user. We never share a student or adult’s personal information with any third parties, unless we have previously provided parents or guardians with a notification that we will do so and have given them an opportunity to opt out of this sharing of information both for themselves and their children.
The only exception is if we are required by law to provide certain information in our possession or reasonably believe we must do so in order to protect a student or her family or evaluate a serious violation of JMSG rules. We will provide personally identifiable information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to exercise our legal rights or defend legal claims. We will also provide personally identifiable information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use or school code of conduct, or as otherwise required by law.
Except where our Website indicates that information will be private, user content that is posted by either parents, guardians or students to our Website is visible by others who have access to the same restricted areas. These include JMSG faculty, administrators and staff, other parents, guardians and students. Although our Terms of Use policy requires all users to treat personal information as private and not to share it outside of the context of our Website, we cannot always control what a user with access to this information does with it. We urge all of our users to exercise good judgment in deciding what to post, and we will delete posts that could be harmful to a student or parent or guardian if we become aware of them.
No Requirement to Provide Personal Information We will never require any student to provide more personal information than we already have on file as a result of our school record keeping.
You May Request that We Delete Personal Information; Scope of Deletion Finally, parents or guardians may request that we delete information that we have obtained solely through our Website, and may withhold consent to their daughters having access to our Website. Requests for deletion should be directed to our Website Administrator at 5000 Macarthur Blvd., Oakland, CA 94613. Parents or guardians who have questions or concerns are urged to bring those to our attention. Our goal is to create a safe, secure space for students to interact with teachers and one another.
In deleting information obtained through our Website, we will not delete school-related materials, although we will delete them from areas where they might be accessible to more than the student and JMSG.
Security JMSG maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personally identifiable information. We use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to the Website. You agree that JMSG shall not be liable for its or any third party vendor’s security safeguards.
Links This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of websites that may be linked through the Website, for which the user agrees that JMSG shall have no liability. Users are encouraged to read linked websites’ privacy policies.
Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions Your use of the Website, and any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. JMSG may revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Users are encouraged to read this Privacy Policy on a frequent basis.
