Career Ready America (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit https://careerreadyamerica.com/ (the “Website”) or contact us through the Website.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. When you complete our contact form or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you submit. Depending on the form fields and what you choose to share, this may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, and message.
Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through the contact form.
Technical information. Our Website hosting and supporting services may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, referring website, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps operate the Website, troubleshoot problems, and protect against spam, fraud, and unauthorized activity.
How We Use Information
We use information collected through the Website to:
- Respond to questions, requests, and messages.
- Communicate with you about the subject of your inquiry.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Website.
- Detect and prevent spam, misuse, and security threats.
- Meet applicable legal obligations and protect our rights.
Submitting a contact form does not, by itself, subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.
Contact Form Information Is Never Sold
We never sell information submitted through our contact form to anyone.
We use contact-form information to handle your inquiry and related communications. Information may be processed by service providers that help us receive, store, deliver, or respond to messages, such as our website host, form provider, email provider, or spam-prevention service.
When We Disclose Information
We may disclose information to service providers as needed to operate the Website and support the purposes described in this policy.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, investigate misuse, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Career Ready America or others.
Cookies and WordPress
The Website runs on WordPress. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and remember information.
Depending on the features you use, WordPress and installed plugins may use cookies to support website functionality, remember preferences, maintain login sessions, or help protect the Website.
If you access a WordPress login page or sign in to an authorized account, WordPress may set cookies to check whether your browser accepts cookies, keep you signed in, and remember display preferences. These login features generally apply to account holders and administrators.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality. Where applicable, additional cookie choices will be provided through the Website.
Embedded Content and External Links
The Website may include content supplied by other websites, such as videos, maps, or social media content. When you interact with embedded content, the provider may collect information, use cookies, or track your interaction according to its own privacy policy, particularly if you are signed in to that provider’s service.
The Website may also contain links to external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to inquiries, maintain relevant records, operate the Website, and meet legal, security, or administrative needs.
Retention periods may vary by information type and purpose. Copies may remain in backups until those backups are replaced or deleted through normal retention processes.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided. Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have additional privacy rights.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Certain information may need to be retained for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
To submit a privacy request, use the contact form at https://careerreadyamerica.com/ and identify your message as a “Privacy Request.” Please do not include sensitive identification documents in your initial message.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice.
