Privacy Notice

Black Bear Elementary · Last updated October 14, 2026

This notice explains what information the Black Bear Elementary website collects and how it is used.

What this website collects

  • Contact form. If you use the form, the site collects your name, email, phone number (optional), your role, the topic, and your message. Black Bear Elementary uses this only to respond to you. The form asks you not to include a student’s name, diagnosis, or IEP details.
  • Where form messages go. Messages are stored by Webflow, the website host, and emailed to the school’s main inbox, infobbe@blackbearacademy.com.
  • Hosting. Like most web hosts, Webflow processes standard technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and keep the site secure. See Webflow’s privacy policy.
  • Spam protection. The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, through Webflow, to block automated spam. Turnstile checks technical signals from your browser when the form loads. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Cookies and analytics

The site does not use analytics cookies yet. When Google Analytics is added, the site will ask first. If you click Accept, the site will load Google Analytics, which uses cookies to count visits, see which pages are used, and count when the contact form is sent. It will not send what you type in the form. Google Signals and ad personalization will be turned off. If you click Decline, Google Analytics will not load.

Your choice will be stored in your browser so the site does not ask again, and a Cookie settings link at the bottom of each page will let you change it. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The site does not use advertising or social media tracking pixels.

When you email or call the school

If you email or call Black Bear Elementary, the school uses what you share to respond to you and, for referrals, for intake and placement. Please send student records only to the person who asked for them.

Children

This website is for parents, guardians, school districts, and professionals. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Links to other websites

This website links to other sites, such as Black Bear Academy, CCNC, and the Illinois State Board of Education. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

Changes to this notice

If the school changes what the site collects, this notice will be updated before that change goes live.
