Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

STEMACT, Inc. (“STEMACT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Connecticut nonprofit organization connecting education, community, and business to advance STEM learning across the state. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through stemact.org (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the public Site only, not to internal tools used by STEMACT staff and board members.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to give us directly. We do not require an account to browse the Site.

Event submissions

When you submit an event through our public event form, we collect your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), your role or title, and your organization’s name and website, along with the event details you provide.

Get Involved / contact form

When you reach out through our Get Involved or contact form, we collect your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), organization, role, the areas you’re interested in, and any message you write to us.

Information we don’t collect

Our public forms are intended for adults, such as educators, organization representatives, and community members, submitting information on behalf of themselves or their organization. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@stemact.org and we will remove it.

How We Use Your Information

To publish and manage event listings you submit
To respond to your inquiries and requests to get involved
To maintain our records of partners, contacts, and coalition members
To communicate with you about STEMACT programs, events, and opportunities you’ve expressed interest in

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Cookies & Tracking

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information like your approximate location, device and browser type, and the pages you visit. This information is aggregated and doesn’t identify you personally. We don’t use analytics data for advertising, and we don’t combine it with the personal information you submit through our forms.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by using your browser’s privacy or cookie settings to block third-party cookies. Learn more about how Google uses this data in the Google Privacy & Terms page.

The Site also sets a secure sign-in cookie for STEMACT staff logging into our internal CRM, which is not accessible to or used for public visitors.

How We Share Information

We don’t sell or rent your information. We share it only in these limited circumstances:

Service providers who help us operate the Site, such as our hosting provider (Google Cloud), database, file storage, email delivery, and Google Analytics, all acting on our instructions and only to provide these services.
Public listings you submit — if you submit an event, the event details (not your personal contact information) may be published publicly on the Site.
As required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of STEMACT or others.

Data Retention

We retain the information you provide for as long as needed to support STEMACT’s mission and maintain accurate organizational records, such as our partner directory, event history, and outreach contacts. You can ask us to update, correct, or delete your information at any time using the contact information below.

Your Choices

To access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, email info@stemact.org. We’ll respond and take care of your request as promptly as we can.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We’ll update the “Last updated” date above when we do. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
