Privacy Policy

Last updated [publish date]

Future1 Community ("Future1," "we," "us") runs the Local Business Growth Lab, an 8 week work-based learning program, and helps local businesses solve problems with AI. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and what we do with it.

What we collect

When you book a call

• Business owners and employers. Your name, business name, email, phone, the problem you want to solve, and anything you choose to tell us.
• Schools, districts, and youth programs. Your name, role, organization, email, phone, how many students you are thinking about, and when you want to start.
• Parents and guardians. Your name, email, phone, and your son or daughter's grade. We do not ask for your child's name on this form.

When a student enrolls, after the call

• The student's name, school, grade, and email, so we can send session links and support project outreach.
• Signed permission and consent forms from a parent or guardian.

During the program

• Attendance, hours logs, tools logs, assignments, and assessments, so we can verify hours and report progress to the student's school or program.
• Recordings of live sessions only when every student's parent or guardian has given written consent.

When you pay

• Payments are handled by our payment provider, Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.

When you visit the site

• Basic information like pages visited and the type of device, collected through cookies and analytics so we can improve the site.

How we use it

• To prepare for and hold your 20 minute call.
• To enroll students, run the program, verify hours, and share progress with the student's school or program.
• To send program updates and session links.
• To send updates about other Future1 programs, only if you checked the box to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To process payments and keep business records.

Students and AI tools

• Students do their work in their own school accounts or in accounts their parent approves. Future1 does not create accounts for students.
• Students may use AI tools approved by their school and named on the permission form.
• No customer data from a participating business goes into an AI tool without that business owner's written permission.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information.

• The student's school or program. Hours logs, assessments, and final reports.
• The participating business. Students' first names and their project work during sessions and the final presentation.
• Service providers who help us run Future1. Website hosting, payment processing, email, and video meetings. They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
• When the law requires it.

Children's privacy

The Growth Lab is for high school students. We collect student information only after a parent, guardian, school, or program enrolls the student. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

How long we keep it

We keep program records, including hours logs and final reports, for [3] years so schools and programs can use them for reporting. We keep booking information for as long as it is needed to follow up with you, then delete it. You can ask us to delete your information sooner.

How we protect it

We limit access to the people who need it and use services with standard security protections. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell you if a breach affects your information.

Your choices

• Ask to see, correct, or delete your information.
• Unsubscribe from updates using the link in any email.
• A parent or guardian can withdraw consent for a student at any time.
