Privacy Policy
Effective 15 October 2026.
BlueStamp Engineering LLC (“BlueStamp”, “we”, “us”) provides engineering programs for middle and high school students. This policy describes how we handle personal information collected through this website. It does not cover information collected after a student enrolls, which is governed by the enrollment agreement.
We do not sell personal information, share it for advertising, or use cookies or any other technology that stores information on your device.
Information we collect
Information you provide. Our contact form collects your name, email address and message, and optionally a phone number and subject. Our newsletter form collects your first name, last name and email address. Our program application, hosted by Jotform, collects the information requested on that form.
Information collected automatically. We record page views and a limited set of actions, such as viewing a program page, opening or searching a student portfolio, submitting a form, or starting an application. Each record includes the page address, the referring page, any advertising campaign the visit came from, and the approximate location described below. These records are not associated with your name, your device, or any persistent identifier.
Approximate location. Our hosting provider determines the country, state and city associated with the IP address of each request, which we attach to the records above. We do not collect postal code, precise geolocation, or your IP address itself.
Our hosting provider maintains server logs, including IP addresses, to operate the service and prevent abuse. These logs are held under that provider's retention schedule.
How we use information
- To respond to enquiries
- To send the newsletter: a signup is passed to Mailchimp, which emails you to confirm it before adding you to the list, and you may unsubscribe at any time
- To process and evaluate program applications
- To understand which pages and programs interest visitors
- To measure whether our advertising reaches the families looking for us
- To maintain the security of the site
We do not use personal information for profiling, automated decision-making, or targeted advertising.
How we share information
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information to the service providers that operate this site on our behalf, each permitted to use it only for that purpose: Vercel (hosting and analytics), Google Workspace (the spreadsheet and email account receiving form submissions), PostHog (analytics, United States), Jotform (program applications), Mailchimp (the newsletter audience), Resend (notification email to our staff), and YouTube (video playback, only after you press play).
We may also disclose information where required by law or to establish or defend legal claims.
Cookies and tracking technologies
This website does not use cookies, local storage, web beacons, pixels, or advertising trackers, and no third party collects information about your activity across other websites through this site. Our analytics providers count visitors using a value calculated on our servers from a secret that is replaced and destroyed daily, which cannot be traced to an individual.
Because we do not track visitors across websites and store nothing on your device, we do not respond differently to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
Data retention
- Contact form submissions: 24 months from receipt.
- Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, then removed within 30 days.
- Program applications: 24 months after the program season applied for. Jotform deletes unfinished applications after 2 months.
- Usage and location records: 12 months.
- Server logs: retained by our hosting provider under its own schedule.
We do not retain personal information indefinitely. Personal information we learn was provided by a child under 13 is deleted on discovery and is not kept for the periods above. Records relating to enrolled students are retained under the enrollment agreement.
Children's privacy
BlueStamp does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website, and this site uses no cookies, trackers or persistent identifiers. Children under 13 should ask a parent or guardian to submit any form on their behalf.
A parent or guardian may review the personal information we hold about their child, request its deletion, and refuse any further collection, by emailing admissions@bluestampengineering.com. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we delete it promptly.
Your rights and choices
You may request access to, a copy of, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by emailing info@bluestampengineering.com. We respond within 45 days, or within one month where UK or EU law applies. Exercising these rights is free and will not affect how we treat you or your application. Newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link.
California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, together with the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so no opt-out is required.
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you also have the right to restrict or object to processing, to receive your information in a portable format, and to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. We rely on your consent where you submit a form, and on our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used for the records described under Information collected automatically.
International transfers
BlueStamp operates in the United States and our service providers process information there. If you use this site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
Security
This site is served only over encrypted connections and restricts what may run on its pages. Form submissions are recorded in a spreadsheet accessible only to BlueStamp staff, through an endpoint that requires a secret held by this website alone, and submission rates are limited to deter abuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if our practices change and revise the effective date above. Material changes will be noted here for at least 30 days.
