WHO WE ARE
Inspiring Purposeful Lives
These words reflect our vision for Immanuel Christian School. We are a K-12 private Christian School located in Northern Virginia. We are glad to have you as part of our community and we desire to keep you updated with new initiatives, ongoing events, and activities of our school. We do this through simple tools that we all access every single day—email and our website

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not request or knowingly collect any personally identifiable contact information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.
Photo and Video Usage of Student Images
Students may occasionally appear in photographs and videos taken by employees, other students, parents or other individuals authorized by ICS. We may use these pictures, without identifying the student, in various publications, including but not limited to, the school yearbook, promotional materials, campaigns, and brochures, and our school website. No consent or notice is needed or will be given before we use pictures of unnamed students taken while they are at school or a school-related activity.
Sometimes, however, we will want to identify a student in a school picture or video. We may want to acknowledge those students who participate in a school activity or deserve special recognition. Parents and guardians sign a consent form annually allowing us the right to publish a picture with a student identified by name in any school-sponsored material, including our yearbook. Granting consent allows us to publish and otherwise use photographs and videos, with the child identified.
Contact Forms
When you RSVP, register to attend an event or complete an online form, you are providing us your information for the purposes stated on the webpage or form. We reserve the right to email you regarding future activities and events associated with Immanuel Christian School. We do not share your information with any other business or individual not associated with ICS. You have the right to unsubscribe from email list at any time.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use the Unbounce platform to build forms and solicit information from individual data subjects (“Lead Data”).
