When you give Accelerated Schools personal information that information may be stored and processed outside of the US and we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
