Our approach
NXT UP TEENS is a student-led career exploration program. We collect only the information we need to run Career Nights and to answer messages. We do not sell personal information, and we never display registration details publicly.
Career Night registration
When a student registers for a Career Night, we ask for the information below. Each item has a specific purpose.
Résumés. We do not collect résumés through this website. When an event includes an internship or shadowing opportunity, students are asked to bring a printed résumé.
Contact and request forms
When you use the Contact page, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, your role, your message, and any details you choose to share about a career request or speaking interest. We use this information to reply to you.
Website analytics
We count page views and clicks toward event registration so we can see which pages are useful. These records contain the page address and the time of the visit. We do not use cookies or persistent visitor identifiers for analytics, and we do not store IP addresses with these records. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not record these events. Registration details are never included in analytics.
Where information is stored
- Private website storage. Registrations and contact form submissions are saved in private storage connected to this website. There is no public page, link, or listing that shows them.
- Registration spreadsheet. A copy of each registration is added to a private Google Sheet kept by the NXT UP TEENS organizer who manages registrations.
- Registration downloads. The organizer who manages registrations can download them as a private Excel workbook from an owner-only dashboard. Downloaded copies are not published.
- Organizer email. When someone registers, a notification is sent to the NXT UP TEENS organizer inbox (nxtupteens@gmail.com) through an email delivery service. The notification includes the student’s name, email, school, grade, and career interests, the parent or guardian’s name and email, and whether the student plans to bring a résumé. Accessibility notes and other written answers are not included in these emails.
These services store information on our behalf so we can run our events.
Who can see it
Registration information can be viewed only by the NXT UP TEENS organizer who manages registrations.
For a Career Night with an internship or shadowing opportunity, we share the names of students who asked to be considered and plan to bring a printed résumé with the featured professional, who selects the student.
How long we keep information
Registration and contact information is not deleted automatically. We keep it so we can follow up after the event, including selecting a student for an internship or shadowing opportunity. A student or a parent or guardian can ask us to delete it at any time, as described below.
Correcting or deleting information
A student, or a parent or guardian, can ask us to correct or delete registration or contact information at any time. Email nxtupteens@gmail.com with the student’s name and the event, and tell us what you would like changed. We will reply to confirm when the request has been completed.
What we do not do
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not display registration or contact information publicly.
- We do not include registration information in website analytics.
- We do not collect résumés through this website.
Students and families
Career Nights are designed for high school students. A parent or guardian does not need to approve a registration, but the form asks for a parent or guardian’s name and email so that families know about the event and can be contacted about it.
Changes and questions
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the date at the top. For privacy questions, email nxtupteens@gmail.com.
