Website Image Use and Privacy

Our Cherokee Creek Boys School website often shares photos that highlight student life, campus activities and events. We take great care to respect the privacy of everyone in our community.

If a student or family has indicated that they do not wish their likeness to appear on our website via our media release form or otherwise, we strive to honor that preference. Anyone who sees an image of their student or family on our website and would like it removed / altered may contact us HERE, and we will promptly take it down or edit it to protect their privacy.

When photos include individuals who have opted out, we may still use those images after carefully editing them to protect privacy. These edits may include:

• Cropping or removing the person from the image.
• Blurring or pixelating their face or other identifying features.
• Using AI tools to modify, obscure or replace their figure so they are not recognizable.
• Masking identifying details such as name tags or unique clothing.

Note: We also use stock images and artwork instead of campus-life photos of students or families whenever possible to avoid privacy concerns.

Photo edits are made solely for privacy protection and are never used to alter, enhance, or create false representations of individuals or situations.

Our goal is to celebrate our school community while ensuring every family’s privacy choices are honored. We take these steps so we can share moments from our school community in a way that is thoughtful, respectful and privacy-conscious.

Does CCBS Disclose Any Information to Outside Parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally-identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our CCBS website, conducting our school business, or servicing you and your family, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.
