Who we are
Private School Shortlist (privateschoolshortlist.com) is an independent directory of private schools and learning programs in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia. It is run by Valyou LLC. You can reach us at hello@privateschoolshortlist.com.
This site is for parents, adult students and the schools and programs we list. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us information, write to hello@privateschoolshortlist.com and we will delete it.
What we collect
- Listings. Names, addresses, phone numbers, websites and similar details of schools and programs, taken from official public lists and from each provider's own website. We record where every detail came from.
- Inquiries. If you send an inquiry through a listing, we keep your name, email address and message, and we pass them to that provider only.
- Sign-ups. If you sign up for alerts, we keep your email address, what you signed up for, and when you confirmed it. We send only what you signed up for: application-date alerts, or the weekly update if you chose it.
- Provider accounts. If a provider claims a listing, we keep the email address used to claim it and the changes they make.
- Payments. If a provider pays for a plan, Stripe processes the payment. We never see or store full card numbers.
- Outreach. We email schools and programs at the business contact address they publish on their own website, to tell them about their listing. We record where each address came from, and if a provider unsubscribes we keep the unsubscribe record so we never email that address again.
- Basic security data. To stop spam and abuse, our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, and we keep a hashed form of the network address that sent a form, not the address itself.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
How long we keep it
- Inquiries: 12 months, then deleted.
- Alert and weekly-update sign-ups: until you unsubscribe. Every email we send you has an unsubscribe link. We keep a record of your sign-up, confirmation and unsubscribe (email address, time, hashed network address and browser type) as proof of your choice. An unsubscribe removes your address from every email list on this site until you sign up and confirm by email again.
- Provider account and billing records: for as long as the listing is claimed, and billing records for as long as tax law requires.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct or delete what we hold about you by writing to hello@privateschoolshortlist.com. Providers can ask us to correct or remove a listing at any time, and we read every request and act on it.
