Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 7, 2026

Careers That Grow respects your privacy. This website provides information and resources related to early childhood education careers, training, employment, and child care business opportunities in Northwest Minnesota.

You do not need to create an account, register, make a purchase, or provide personal information to use this website.

Information Collected Automatically

Careers That Grow does not ask website visitors to provide personal information such as a name, mailing address, or telephone number.

However, certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website. Because this website is hosted through Wix, Wix and related technology providers may collect information such as:

IP address
Browser and device information
General location information derived from an IP address
Pages visited and interactions with the website
Date and time of visits
Cookies and similar technologies

This information may be used to operate and secure the website, understand general website usage, improve website performance, and troubleshoot technical issues.

Chatbot

Careers That Grow uses a third-party chatbot service provided by Chatbase to help visitors find information about early childhood careers, education, training, employment, and starting or operating a child care business.

You are not required to provide your name or other personally identifying information to use the chatbot. Please do not enter personal, confidential, sensitive, or identifying information into the chatbot.

When you interact with the chatbot, the information you enter is transmitted to and processed by Chatbase in order to generate a response. Chatbase may also process technical and usage information associated with the interaction, such as an IP address, browser or device information, and service usage data.

According to Chatbase, customer data is used to provide its services and is not used to train its artificial intelligence models.

Chatbot responses are generated using artificial intelligence and may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated.

Information provided through the chatbot is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal, licensing, financial, educational, employment, or other professional advice. Important information should be verified with the appropriate government agency, educational institution, employer, licensing authority, or other authoritative source.

For additional information about Chatbase's privacy practices, please review the Chatbase Privacy Policy.

Facebook

Careers That Grow uses Facebook and Facebook Messenger to share information and respond to questions. Messages sent to the Careers That Grow Facebook Page may be processed by Meta and by Chatbase, our third-party artificial intelligence chatbot provider, to generate automated responses. Information shared through Facebook is also subject to Meta’s privacy practices and terms. Please do not include personal, confidential, sensitive, or identifying information in a Messenger conversation.

Third-Party Websites and Services

I would also place a short notice immediately adjacent to the chatbot: “Privacy Notice: Please do not enter personal, confidential, or sensitive information into the chatbot. Conversations are processed by Chatbase to generate responses.” This helps protect visitors who may never open the full Privacy Policy.
