Privacy and Security

TEA maintains the TEA website as a public service. The following is the privacy policy for this site:

  • The TEA website does not require the use of cookie files or cookies to view public information. A cookie file is an electronic record containing information a website can use to identify user sessions or to track such things as passwords, lists of pages visited, or the access date for a specific page. TEA applications that you log into from the website may require cookies. TEA will only use information gathered through the use of cookies to display information to web users.
  • If you send us an electronic mail message or fill out a form that contains personally identifying information, we will only use this information to respond to your request and analyze trends. We may redirect your message to another government agency or person who is in a better position to answer your question. While doing this, we are bound by procedure to withhold your identifying information from the forwarded email. Instead, we may direct you to contact another agency or person.
  • We collect information for analysis and statistics for site management. These statistics are used to assess what information is of most interest, determine technical design specifications, and identify system performance or problem areas. We do not report or use this information in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information.
  • All information accessible to a state agency is presumed to be public, subject to specific exceptions in the Public Information Act (Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code). Information submitted to TEA may be revealed if a request is made under that Act. Information that could identify an individual student is protected from public disclosure by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. Section 1232g. The agency will not release information that would identify an individual student except in conformance with that Act.
