Privacy Policy & Notice
Effective Date: August 21, 2026
Wisconsin Workforce Hub (“Wisconsin Workforce Hub,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through wisconsinworkforcehub.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
- a) Information you provide directly
- Contact form: first name, last name, phone number, email address, and message content.
- Newsletter signup: email address (and name, if provided).
- Resume/application submissions: resume files and any information you include in them (which may include your name, contact details, work history, education, certifications, and similar career-related information). Please do not include Social Security numbers or other highly sensitive identifiers in materials you submit to us.
- b) Information collected automatically
- We use Google Tag Manager and standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect information about how visitors use the Site, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs. This is done through cookies and similar technologies.
- We do not currently use advertising or social media tracking pixels (such as Meta Pixel). If this changes, we will update this Policy.
2. Cookies
The Site uses cookies delivered through Google Tag Manager to support analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them; note that some Site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled. We do not currently display a cookie consent banner; [attorney note: confirm whether one is required based on your visitor base—see Section 9].
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form;
- Send newsletters and updates to subscribers (you can unsubscribe at any time);
- Share resumes and application materials with coalition partners, training providers, and/or employers to help connect job seekers with opportunities;
- Understand how visitors use the Site and improve its content and functionality;
- Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights, property, and safety of Wisconsin Workforce Hub, our partners, and the public.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information as follows:
- Resumes/applications: Wisconsin Workforce Hub works with workforce and training partners—including WRTP | BIG STEP, a nonprofit workforce intermediary—to connect job seekers with training, apprenticeship, and employment opportunities. Depending on the opportunity, your resume and application materials may be: (a) reviewed by Wisconsin Workforce Hub and then forwarded to a relevant partner or employer, or (b) submitted directly into a partner organization’s own systems (such as WRTP | BIG STEP’s), in which case that partner’s own privacy practices will also apply to how your information is handled from that point forward. By submitting a resume, you consent to this sharing. [Attorney/internal note: once your intake process is finalized, update this section to state plainly which of (a) or (b) applies, and name any additional partner organizations or employers who may receive resumes.]
- Funders and program reporting: Wisconsin Workforce Hub’s work is supported in part by funding partners, including Ascendium Education Group, a nonprofit education-focused foundation. As a condition of that funding, we may be required to report participant or outcome data related to our programs. Where possible, this reporting uses aggregate or de-identified data; in some cases, funder agreements may require individual-level data about program participants. [Attorney/internal note: confirm against your actual grant agreements whether funder reporting involves individually identifiable data, and update this paragraph accordingly—this affects what disclosure is legally required.]
- Service providers: we use third-party vendors to operate the Site (e.g., web hosting, form processing, email newsletter delivery, analytics). These vendors are given access only to the information needed to perform their services.
- Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the safety of any person.
- Business transfers: if Wisconsin Workforce Hub is involved in a merger, reorganization, or transfer of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
[Attorney note: List your specific form processor, email newsletter platform (e.g., Mailchimp, Constant Contact), and resume-storage tool by name here once finalized, since specific vendors typically need to be named for transparency and for their own DPAs/terms.]
5. Our Partners and Funders
Wisconsin Workforce Hub collaborates with a coalition of organizations, including WRTP | BIG STEP (a nonprofit workforce intermediary), Ascendium Education Group (a nonprofit funding partner), and the Wisconsin Policy Forum (a nonpartisan, independent research organization). Each of these organizations is legally independent of Wisconsin Workforce Hub and maintains its own privacy practices. This Policy governs data collected through wisconsinworkforcehub.com; it does not govern how our partners handle data within their own systems once information is shared with them as described in Section 4.
6. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions, newsletter subscriber information, and resumes/application materials for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. [Attorney note: insert specific retention periods once your internal data retention practice is defined.]
7. Your Choices and Rights
- Newsletter: you may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any newsletter email.
- Access/deletion/correction: you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information (including a submitted resume) by contacting us at director@wisconsinworkforcehub.com.
- Cookies: you may adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time.
Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws (see Section 9).
8. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. State Privacy Law Notice
Wisconsin does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law. However, if visitors reside in states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or others), those residents may have additional rights, such as the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of certain data sharing. [Attorney note: this section should be reviewed and expanded based on where your actual visitor/applicant base is located—this determines which state laws apply to you.]
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Third-Party Links
The Site links to third-party websites, including partner organizations (e.g., WRTP | BIG STEP, Wisconsin Broadband Workforce Coalition, Wisconsin Policy Forum) and social media platforms. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
