​

Website Usage Information

​

Like most websites, our website provider and supporting technology services may automatically collect limited technical information when someone visits the site. This may include information such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages visited, referral source, and general website activity.

​

This information may be used to operate the website, understand general site traffic, improve website performance, and maintain security.

Grad Bridgeway does not use website analytics to create individual profiles of students.

​

Cookies and Similar Technologies

​

GradBridgeway.com may use cookies and similar technologies required for website functionality, security, analytics, and user preferences.

Some cookies may be placed by the technology providers we use to operate our website. Visitors may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings or through any cookie-preference tools provided on the website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.

​

School-Based Digital Displays

​

Grad Bridgeway provides career-awareness content through digital displays located in participating schools.

Students do not need to log in, register, or identify themselves to view this content.

​

Grad Bridgeway may maintain aggregate information regarding platform activity and engagement, such as campaign delivery, display activity, QR-code scans, landing-page visits, or similar aggregate engagement information.

 

This information is intended to help Grad Bridgeway, schools, and opportunity partners understand general awareness and engagement trends rather than identify individual students.

​

Our current platform is designed to provide aggregate engagement reporting without collecting sensitive student information.

​

QR Codes and Third-Party Websites

​

Grad Bridgeway content may include QR codes or links that direct students and other users to websites operated by colleges, apprenticeship programs, employers, workforce organizations, schools, government agencies, or other approved organizations.

​

Grad Bridgeway does not control the privacy practices of those outside websites.

​

If a student or other visitor voluntarily provides personal information after leaving a Grad Bridgeway page or scanning a QR code that leads to another organization, that information is governed by the privacy policy and practices of the receiving organization.

​

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before submitting personal information.

How We Share Information

​

Grad Bridgeway does not sell personal information.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate our website, communications, technology, analytics, hosting, or business systems when reasonably necessary to provide those services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect Grad Bridgeway, participating schools, partners, users, or others.

We do not provide opportunity partners with unrestricted access to school display systems. Participating schools retain oversight of content appearing within their buildings.

​

Student Information

​

Grad Bridgeway's school-based service is not designed to collect student educational records or personally identifiable student information.

Grad Bridgeway does not require student names, student email addresses, student IDs, academic records, grades, educational plans, or similar school records in order for students to view career-awareness content.

If our services change in the future in a way that materially changes how student information is handled, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those practices are implemented.

​

Children's Privacy

​

The Grad Bridgeway website is primarily designed for schools, educators, opportunity partners, organizations, parents, and other stakeholders.

Students may encounter Grad Bridgeway content in schools without providing personal information to Grad Bridgeway.

We do not knowingly use our school-based display platform to collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected directly by Grad Bridgeway in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

​

Data Security

​

Grad Bridgeway takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information under our control.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or technology service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

Data Retention

​

We retain business and website information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain business records, provide services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

​

Your Choices

​

Individuals who have submitted personal information directly to Grad Bridgeway may contact us to request that we review, correct, or delete information we maintain about them, subject to applicable legal and business-record requirements.

You may also ask us to stop sending nonessential communications.

​

Third-Party Services

​

Grad Bridgeway may use third-party technology providers to operate portions of our website and services. Those providers may process limited information on our behalf according to their own contractual and privacy obligations.

​

Links to third-party organizations are provided for informational and career-exploration purposes and do not mean Grad Bridgeway controls those organizations' privacy practices.

​

Changes to This Privacy Policy

​

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically as our website, services, technology, or legal requirements change.

When material changes are made, we will update the effective date shown at the top of this page.
