Privacy Policy

BLACK TECH MAFIA, Inc. ("BTM") collects only what it needs to run the bootcamp, and students are under 18, so we keep it tight.

What we collect

• From the student: name, email, password (stored as a secure hash, never in plain text), high school, and grade.
• From the parent or guardian: name and email, and a password if they create a parent account.
• Course work: progress, quiz and AI Skills Check results, and what the student types into the online workbook.
• We do not collect home addresses, birthdates, or phone numbers.

Parent or guardian consent

When a student signs up, they name a parent or guardian. After the student verifies their email, we email that adult a consent link that shows exactly what we collect. Until consent is given, the student can use the online lessons, but nothing can be shared outside the platform. A parent or guardian can also consent on the paper form at enrollment. To withdraw consent or delete an account, email info@blacktechmafia.com.

Who can see a student's work

• The student.
• Their consenting parent or guardian, read-only.
• BTM staff running the bootcamp.
• The public, only if the student turns on a portfolio link after consent. It shows first name and last initial only: no school, no email, no contact information.

How we use it

To run accounts, show progress, issue certificates, and send course emails. Results reported to partners and funders are cohort totals, never an individual student's scores.

Sharing

We do not sell information. We share it only with services that run the platform (hosting, our email provider, and Stripe for optional donations), or when the law requires it. All partner and customer contact goes through BTM, with a parent or guardian looped in.
