Privacy Policy
SkillsUSA Washington Website Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 22, 2026
SkillsUSA Washington respects the privacy of people who visit skillsusawashington.org (the “website”). This policy explains what information we collect through the website, how we use it, and the services that help us operate it.
Information you provide
When you use a form on our website, we receive the information you choose to submit. Depending on the form, this may include your name, contact information, school or organization, your role, and the contents of your message, application, or report. We use this information to respond to you, process your request, administer SkillsUSA Washington programs and events, or address the matter you submitted.
If you sign up for email updates, we use your email address to send the communications you requested. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email. Transactional or program-related messages may still be sent when needed to respond to a request or administer your participation.
Information collected when you visit
Our website and the services that support it may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, and the date and time of a visit. We use this information to operate and secure the website, understand overall website traffic, and improve its content and usability.
We use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies, including cookies beginning with _ga, to recognize a browser and measure visits. We use these reports for informational purposes, such as understanding which pages people visit. Google explains its data practices in the Google Privacy Policy.
We also use Cloudflare for website security and performance. Cloudflare may set cookies, including _cf_bm and cf_clearance, to help identify automated traffic and manage security checks. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, although blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.
Forms, donations, and other services
Some website features rely on other providers:
- Google reCAPTCHA helps protect forms from spam and abuse. Its use is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- The donation page contains an embedded OneCause form. Information entered into that form is handled through OneCause to support the donation process.
- Newsletter sign-up, registration, applications, shopping, videos, and other linked activities may take you to a separate service, including Mailchimp, Jotform, SkillsUSA registration systems, or an external store. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies. Please review the notice shown by the service before submitting information there.
We may share information with providers that help us operate the website, respond to submissions, communicate with you, process donations, or administer programs. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the security of our website and users.
Your choices
You can limit cookies using your browser settings. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails through the link in those messages. To ask about personal information you submitted through our website, or to request a correction or deletion where appropriate, please contact us. We will review your request in light of our operational and legal obligations.
Students and children
The website provides information for advisors, students, families, and supporters. Students may browse information about SkillsUSA Washington opportunities. If a visitor is under 13, we ask that a parent, guardian, or advisor assist before the visitor submits personal information through a form. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us through the website, please contact us so we can review the matter.
Security and retention
We take steps to protect information submitted through the website. No method of internet transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure. We keep information for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable operational, recordkeeping, or legal needs. The period depends on the type of information and the program or request involved.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the website and our practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will show when the policy was last updated.
