Standing Ovation Workforce Consulting LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of every person who uses this website and the Equitable Employment Suite. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what we never do with it. We have written it in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand exactly how your information is handled.
1. Who we are
Standing Ovation Workforce Consulting LLC is a Chicago-based workforce development practice. We operate the website at standingovationwfd.com and the Equitable Employment Suite, a collection of 16 free AI-powered job readiness tools available at standingovationwfd.com/hub.
You can reach us at brandon@standingovationwfd.com with any questions about this policy or how your information is handled.
2. What information we collect
We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the site.
Information you give us directly
When you submit the contact form on our website, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your organization name
- The program or service you are inquiring about
We only collect this information when you choose to submit the form. You are never required to provide it to use the job seeker tools.
Information collected automatically
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, the general region you are visiting from, and the type of device and browser you are using. This information is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
3. How the job seeker tools handle your information
Your tool inputs are not stored. When you use any of the 16 tools in the Equitable Employment Suite, the information you enter is sent to the AI model to generate your result and then discarded. We do not store, log, or retain the content of your tool sessions on our servers.
Your progress and results are saved in your browser's local storage -- the same technology websites use to remember your preferences. This means:
- Your saved results are only accessible on the device and browser you used
- Clearing your browser cache or cookies will erase your saved progress
- We cannot access, view, or recover your saved tool results
- Your results are never transmitted to our servers
We recommend using the PDF export feature to save a copy of any results you want to keep.
4. How we use your information
We use the information collected through the contact form solely to respond to your inquiry. We use Google Analytics data to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
We do not use your information to:
- Send marketing emails or newsletters without your explicit consent
- Build advertising profiles
- Make automated decisions about you
- Track your behavior across other websites
5. What we never do with your information
We will never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not monetize user data in any form. This commitment applies to job seekers, organizational contacts, and every visitor to this site.
6. Third-party services
This website uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:
- Google Analytics -- used to understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Anthropic Claude API -- the AI technology that powers the job seeker tools. Content you enter into the tools is processed by Anthropic's API. Anthropic's privacy policy is available at anthropic.com/privacy.
- Calendly -- used for scheduling consultations. If you book a call through our site, you will be directed to Calendly's platform, which has its own privacy policy at calendly.com/privacy.
- Netlify -- the platform that hosts this website and processes contact form submissions. Netlify's privacy policy is available at netlify.com/privacy.
7. Cookies
This website uses cookies through Google Analytics to collect aggregated usage data. These cookies do not contain personal information and are used solely to understand how the site is being used.
Your browser's local storage is used to save your tool progress and results on your device. This is not a cookie and cannot be accessed by us or any third party.
8. Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information through our contact form, please contact us at brandon@standingovationwfd.com and we will delete that information promptly.
9. Your rights
You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, request that we correct or delete it, and withdraw consent for us to use it. Because we collect very limited personal information, these requests are straightforward to fulfill. Contact us at brandon@standingovationwfd.com to make any such request.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy as the product and its features evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
