What Types of Information and Data Does Apprenticeship America Collect, and When Does It Collect This Data?
Apprenticeship America collects various types of Personal Information. We collect this information when you provide it to us (whether directly or through our subsidiaries and/or representatives) or when you use certain services provided by Apprenticeship America.
“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact you as a natural person, as well as other information about you that we tie to Personal Information. Personal Information that we collect includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information:
“Non-Personal Information” is any information that does not identify a natural person and is not identifiable to a natural person, such as:

When data is described as “anonymized,” it means that the data is no longer associated with a particular person. When data is described as “aggregated,” it means that such information has been combined with other data in such a way that no person can be identified or linked to any specific action or information.
How Apprenticeship America Uses Your Information (the “Purposes”)
Subject to the limitations and other rights set forth in this Privacy Policy, Apprenticeship America uses your Personal Information in its identifiable form for a variety of purposes, including:
Prohibited Use for Behavioral Targeting:
We will not use or disclose student information collected through an educational/school service (whether personal information or otherwise) for the purpose of behavioral targeting of advertisements to students. Any marketing activities involving students will be limited to providing general information about relevant products or services, and will not involve personalized advertising based on behavioral data.
Limitations on Student Profiling:
We will not build or maintain a personal profile of any student other than for supporting authorized educational or school-related purposes. The creation or use of such profiles will only occur as necessary to fulfill the services we provide and will always be limited to purposes approved by the educational institution, agency, or by explicit authorization from the parent or student.
These Purposes may be necessary for Apprenticeship America to perform a contract to which you are a party, comply with a legal obligation to which Apprenticeship America is subject, protect Apprenticeship America’s vital interests or the interests of another natural person, or otherwise pursue Apprenticeship America’s legitimate business purposes and objectives. Apprenticeship America may obtain your consent to process your Personal Information, as necessary.
Apprenticeship America collects Non-Personal Information in the same ways it collects Personal Information, described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, Apprenticeship America may use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose. In some instances, Apprenticeship America may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your location data). If Apprenticeship America combines any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, Apprenticeship America will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
In addition, Apprenticeship America reserves the right to use anonymized and aggregated Personal Information to improve its products and services, to create and publish reports, to conduct statistical analysis about our customers and products, and for other activities that do not result in the disclosure of your identifiable information.
When Will Apprenticeship America Disclose Your Information, and Who May Receive It?
As noted above, Apprenticeship America reserves the right to use and disclose anonymized and aggregated Personal Information to improve its products and services, to create and publish reports, to conduct statistical analysis about our customers and products, and for other activities that do not result in the disclosure of your identifiable information.
How Long Will Apprenticeship America Keep your Information?
Apprenticeship America keeps different kinds of personal data for different lengths of time, depending on the Purposes for which they are processed and the unique circumstances of your situation. We will not knowingly retain Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) beyond the time period required to support the authorized educational or school purposes, or as authorized by the parent or student. Once the data is no longer needed for these purposes, it will be securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable law.
Disclosure of Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Collection and Usage:
We are committed to transparency in our data collection practices. We clearly disclose the types of Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) we collect and the purposes for which this information is used or shared with third parties.

Additionally, any changes to policies or practices related to the use of Student PII will comply with all contractual and legal requirements to ensure continued protection of student data.
