Privacy
How we handle your information.
Zenith College and Career Prep is a public charter school opening in Maryvale in August 2027. This page explains what this website collects, why, who sees it, and what you can ask us to do.
Last updated November 2026
The short version
- We collect only what you choose to send us through our forms.
- We use it to run enrollment, answer you, and keep you informed about the school.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not run advertising or tracking cookies on this site.
- You can ask us what we have, to correct it, or to delete it.
The application
The application at zenithccprep.org/apply is a form from Cognito Forms, a third-party service. What you enter goes to Cognito Forms and is received by Zenith. It is not stored in this website's own database. Cognito Forms handles it under its own privacy policy.
Notifications about new applications may pass through an automation service so the right people at the school are told promptly. We use what you share to process enrollment at Zenith College and Career Prep. Please share only what the form asks for.
What our other forms collect
These forms store what you type in the site's own database:
- Interest list for families: a parent or guardian's name, email and optional phone number, the student's name, current and expected grade, ZIP code, how you prefer to be contacted, and how you heard about us.
- Community sign-up: your name, email, ZIP code, how you relate to the school, and what you would like to hear about.
- Partners: your organization, a contact name, email, optional phone, your interests, and a short description.
- Community survey: your answers about career pathways and what matters to your family. Your name and email are optional.
- Contact and newsletter: your name, email, and your message or subscription.
- Comets nominations and mentor requests: the nominator's name, relationship and email, the nominee's name and grade or graduation year, a short description, and any contact details you add for the nominee. Nominations are reviewed by staff first. Nothing is published without the person's consent on file, and for students under 18, a parent or guardian's consent.
Our forms are meant for parents, guardians and other adults. Please do not use them to send us information directly from a child.
How we use it
- To process enrollment and answer questions about the school.
- To send the updates, newsletter or meeting notices you asked for.
- To plan the school with the community, for example which career pathways families want.
- To keep the website safe from spam and abuse.
We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.
Who sees it
- School staff and board members who need it to do their work. Each person signs in to the website's administration area with their own login.
- Service providers that run this website: a web host, a database service, a file-storage service for board meeting documents, and an email delivery service for notifications and replies. They handle information only to provide those services.
- Cognito Forms for the application, as described above.
- The public, for anything we are required or choose to publish: board meeting notices, agendas and minutes, and Comets profiles that have consent. We never publish nominator emails or contact details.
- Anyone the law requires us to share it with.
Cookies, tracking and bot protection
- This site does not use advertising or analytics cookies or trackers.
- If we open the enrollment pop-up and you close it, your browser remembers that for a few days so it does not keep reappearing. That choice stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
- Staff who sign in to the administration area receive a sign-in cookie. Visitors do not.
- To limit spam, some forms use Cloudflare Turnstile and keep a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address for about a day. We do not store the address itself.
- Our welcome video and Instagram link are served from other services. If you follow the Instagram link or watch media hosted elsewhere, that service's own policies apply.
- If we advertise elsewhere, the advertising platforms have their own policies. Clicking an ad brings you to this site, but nothing on this site passes your details to them.
How long we keep it and how we protect it
We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, then delete it. Records the school must keep by law, such as meeting minutes, are kept as the law requires. Information is stored with reputable service providers behind secured logins, and only the people who need it can open it.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you or your child, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can unsubscribe from any email we send. For anything you sent through the application, we will work with Cognito Forms to act on your request.
To make a request, use our contact form and say what you need. We will reply as soon as we can.
