1. What we collect
Information you give us
Newsletter. Your first name and email address.
Contact form. Your name, email address, phone number (if you include it) and message.
Brochure downloads and workshop signups. Your name, email address and, for some forms, your phone number.
AI in the Workplace registration. Your name, email address, phone number, confirmation that you are 18 or older, and your answers to four optional questions: whether you identify as neurodivergent, how familiar you are with AI, whether you are working right now, and what brings you to the program.
Quizzes. Your quiz answers, which can include your employment situation, goals, learning preferences and schedule, and the email address you give us to receive your result.
Applications. When you apply through our application portal at application.fidgetech.org, we collect the information the application asks for, which can include contact details, education and work history, goals, and any information about support needs you choose to share.
Donations. Donations are processed by PayPal on PayPal's website. We receive your name, email address and donation details from PayPal. We never see your full card or bank information.
Information we collect automatically
When you visit our site, we and our partners collect your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, links clicked, the site that referred you, and approximate location. We do this with cookies and similar tools from Google (Tag Manager, Analytics and Ads), Meta (Facebook Pixel), Metricool and HubSpot. When you submit a form, we also send the page address, your IP address and browser information to HubSpot with your submission. Quiz progress is saved in your browser while you take the quiz.
2. Information about disability and neurodivergence
Some of our forms ask whether you identify as neurodivergent, and applicants may share information about support needs. These questions are always optional. We use your answers only to recommend the right program, support you as a student, and understand who we are serving. We keep them in our enrollment and student records, which our staff and our CRM provider (HubSpot) can access. We never sell them, and we never send them to advertising platforms.
3. How we use your information
- To answer questions and send the brochures, workshop details and program information you ask for
- To review applications, enroll students and provide our programs
- To email your quiz results and, if you choose, our newsletter and program updates
- To process and acknowledge donations and keep the records nonprofits are required to keep
- To understand how people use our site and improve it
- To measure and improve our outreach, including advertising on Google and Meta
- To meet our obligations as a licensed career school and a nonprofit
We do not sell personal information.
4. Who we share it with
Service providers that help us run Fidgetech, who may use your information only to provide services to us:
| Provider | What they do for us |
|---|---|
| HubSpot | Our contact database, forms and email |
| Lovable (with Supabase) | Website hosting, database and email sending |
| PayPal | Donation processing |
| Analytics, tag management, advertising measurement and fonts | |
| Meta | Advertising measurement |
| Metricool | Website analytics |
| Zoom | Online workshops and classes |
Advertising partners. Google and Meta receive information about your visits to our site, including when you submit a form, so we can measure our ads and show our programs to people likely to be interested. They do not receive your answers to questions about neurodivergence, employment or support needs. You can limit this as described in section 6.
Funders and regulators. We report information about students to the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission and to funding agencies when the law or a funding program requires it. Where possible we report in aggregate.
Legal reasons. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect someone's safety or our rights, or if Fidgetech merges with another organization.
5. How long we keep it
- Newsletter and marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe. We keep your address on a suppression list so we don't email you again.
- Contact messages, inquiries and quiz results: up to three years after your last interaction with us.
- Applications and student records: as long as Oregon career school rules require.
- Donation records: seven years, for tax purposes.
6. Your choices
- Email. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from one of our emails unsubscribes you from all Fidgetech marketing email.
- Access, correction and deletion. Email info@fidgetech.org to ask what we have about you, correct it, or delete it. We'll respond within 45 days. We may need to keep some records, such as student and donation records, when the law requires.
- Cookies and advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. You can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, adjust Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com, and adjust Meta ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram account. Our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.
Residents of Oregon and other states with privacy laws may have additional rights under those laws, and we honor them.
7. Children
Our programs are for adults, and our site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, email info@fidgetech.org and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use encrypted connections, access controls, and reputable service providers to protect your information. Only staff who need it can see application and student records. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we'll notify you as the law requires.
9. Changes
When we change this policy, we update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use information we already have, we'll let you know by email.
