Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited. If we turn on analytics tools, they may collect similar usage information.

How we use information

We use information to respond to requests, evaluate locations, follow up about next steps, communicate about First Class Entrepreneurs, improve the website and our services, keep the site secure, and meet legal obligations. Submitting a form does not guarantee approval, installation, acceptance or participation.

Children and families

First Class Entrepreneurs is intended for high-school students, roughly ages 14 to 18. This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.

We ask that parents or guardians review and support any student submission. We do not ask for Social Security numbers, government IDs, financial account information or medical information, and ask that you not include them. We do not create public student profiles, directories or public student contact information, and we do not publish student names, photos, stories or work without appropriate consent. Families will receive additional information and any required participation forms before enrollment.

How information is shared

We do not sell personal information. We use service providers to run the website and handle submissions, such as website hosting and form processing, and email. These providers process information on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect safety or rights, or in connection with a sale or transfer of our business. We do not share information about students with schools or partner organizations without appropriate parent or guardian permission.

Cookies, analytics and third-party tools

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, so Google may receive your IP address and browser information when a page loads. We may add analytics or advertising measurement tools in the future. If we do, we will update this policy and describe how to opt out.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or method of transmission is completely secure.

Your choices

You may ask to access, correct or delete the information you submitted, or ask us to stop contacting you, by emailing or calling us. Parents and guardians may make these requests for their student.

Other websites and changes

Links to other sites are governed by their own policies. We may update this policy and will post the new date at the top of this page.
