Privacy Policy

ChipReady Foundation ("ChipReady," "we," "us") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect through this website and how we use it.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you contact us, enroll, or express interest through a form or email, we collect what you give us — typically your name, email address, organization, and any message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic technical and usage data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) through standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics, to understand and improve the site.

Cookies. We use only essential cookies needed to operate the site. Any analytics we use are configured to minimize data collection. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiries and requests.
• To provide, operate, and improve our programs, platform, and this site.
• To send you updates you have asked to receive.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate — for example, hosting, form processing, email, and analytics providers — bound to handle it confidentially, and when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it.

Your choices and rights

You may unsubscribe from updates at any time, and you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information by emailing info@chipready.org. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (for example, under GDPR or CCPA); contact us and we will honor applicable requests.

Children's privacy

ChipReady supports learners across education levels, including K-12 programs. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent or school authorization. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

Our site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the most recent version.
