The short version
We collect your email address and the programs you choose to track. We use that data to run the site and send you the deadline reminders you asked for. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. We use a small number of trusted service providers to operate the site, and we list them below.
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under California privacy law, and we honor them. Details are in the California section below.
What we collect and why
Email address
When you create an account, you give us your email address. We use it to:
- Identify your account.
- Send deadline reminder emails for the programs you choose to track.
- Send occasional product updates (rarely, and only about NSN — see the Reminder Emails section below).
We do not use your email address for advertising.
Programs you track
When you are logged in, we store a list of the nursing programs you have saved or chosen to track. We use this to power your saved list and to send the right reminders at the right times.
Anonymous visitors: If you use the site without creating an account, your program list is stored only in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device and we never see it. It disappears if you clear your browser data.
Payment information
If you purchase the one-time unlock, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive a record confirming that a purchase was made (account email, purchase timestamp, and amount). We never receive, see, or store your card number, expiration date, CVV, or full billing address. Stripe's privacy policy governs how Stripe handles your payment data.
Web analytics
We use [ANALYTICS PROVIDER] to understand how people use the site — which pages are visited, how long visits last, and where traffic comes from. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. If [ANALYTICS PROVIDER] sets a cookie, it is described in the Cookies section below.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
- We do not share your personal information with advertising networks or data brokers.
- We do not build advertising profiles from your activity on this site.
- We do not use your email address to send third-party marketing.
Reminder emails
Reminder emails are sent only for the programs and deadlines you explicitly choose to track. They are transactional — they exist to deliver the service you signed up for, not to market to you.
You can stop reminder emails at any time by updating your tracked programs in your account settings or by emailing us at nursingschoolnavigator@gmail.com and asking us to remove you.
We may send a small number of product-related messages (e.g., "We've added 10 new programs"). These are infrequent. You can opt out of them at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
Session/authentication cookies: Softr (our hosting and app platform) may set a cookie to keep you logged in while you browse. This cookie is necessary for the site to function and is not used for tracking.
Analytics cookies: [ANALYTICS PROVIDER] may set a cookie to recognize returning visitors and count sessions. This does not identify you personally.
Stripe cookies: If you proceed to checkout, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and session management. Stripe controls these cookies and its privacy policy governs them.
We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.
Service providers (subprocessors)
We share data with the following service providers, strictly to operate NSN. They are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
| Provider | What they do | Data they handle |
|---|---|---|
| Softr | Site hosting and app infrastructure | Account data, program list |
| Airtable | Database for deadline content and user accounts | Account data, program list |
| Stripe | Payment processing | Purchase confirmation (not full card data) |
| Our email delivery provider | Sends reminder and product emails | Email address |
| [ANALYTICS PROVIDER] | Web analytics | Aggregated, non-identified analytics data |
Data retention
- Account data: Retained while your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your email address and tracked program list within 30 days, except where we are required to keep records longer (e.g., payment records for tax purposes, which we retain for seven years in line with standard accounting practice).
- Payment confirmation records: Retained for seven years.
- Analytics data: Retained in aggregated form per [ANALYTICS PROVIDER]'s standard retention settings.
- Local storage data (anonymous visitors): Stored only on your device. We have no copy of it and cannot delete it on your behalf; you can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.
Security
We use standard security practices: HTTPS for all connections, access controls for our database, and trusted service providers with their own security programs. No internet transmission is perfectly secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your NSN account.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information.
Right to know: You can ask us what personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purposes for collection, and whether we have shared or sold it.
Right to access: You can request a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.
Right to delete: You can ask us to delete your personal information. We will do so unless we are required to retain it (e.g., for tax records).
Right to correct: You can ask us to correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. There is nothing to opt out of, but you have this right.
Right to non-discrimination: We will not treat you differently because you exercise any of these rights.
Sensitive personal information: We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by CPRA (such as Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, or health information).
How to submit a rights request: Email nursingschoolnavigator@gmail.com with the subject "Privacy Rights Request" and describe what you are asking for. We will respond within 45 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request (e.g., by confirming you can access the account email address).
Authorized agents: A California resident may designate an authorized agent to make a rights request on their behalf. The agent must provide written authorization signed by you.
