Privacy policy

AI Creator Launchpad is a live online workshop for teens aged 13–17, offered by FlashGenius. This policy explains what we collect from parents and teens, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.

The short version

Parents sign up, not teens. The waitlist form does not ask for your teen's name.
We use your information to run the program and email you about it. We never sell it or use it for advertising.
We never market to teens directly.
Sessions are not recorded.
Email creator@flashgenius.net anytime to see, correct or delete your information.

Who we are

AI Creator Launchpad is run by FlashGenius (flashgenius.net). "We" and "us" in this policy mean FlashGenius. This policy covers the AI Creator Launchpad pages, waitlist, enrollment and live sessions. The main FlashGenius certification platform has its own privacy policy.

What we collect

When	What we collect
Joining the waitlist	The parent's name and email, the teen's age, your time zone, session times that work for you, the type of project your teen might build, and any notes you add. If you arrived from an ad or a link with tracking tags, we also record which campaign it was.
Enrolling	Your teen's first name, so the instructor can address them in sessions. Payment is handled by our payment provider (Stripe or PayPal). We see that you paid, but we never see or store your full card number.
During the program	The projects your teen builds and their build log. We ask teens never to put their last name, school, address or photo on a published project, and the instructor reviews projects before they go live.
Visiting our pages	Google Analytics records how visitors use our pages, such as pages viewed, device type, approximate location from your IP address, and the site you came from. It uses cookies to do this.
Emailing us	Your email address and whatever you write to us.

Teens and children

The program is for teens aged 13 to 17. We collect sign-up and payment information from a parent or guardian, not from the teen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it. If you think a child under 13 has given us information, email us at creator@flashgenius.net.

Where an AI tool used in the program requires an adult account, the parent owns that account. Each tool has its own privacy policy, and we share the list of tools with parents before the cohort starts.

How we use information

To tell you about launch dates, session times and how to join
To run sessions, send written recaps to parents and organize Demo Day
To take payment and keep the records we need for accounting and tax
To answer your questions
To see which parts of our pages are useful, and improve them

We don't sell personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build profiles of teens.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers. They only handle your information to provide their service to us:

Replit hosts our website and the FlashGenius database where waitlist entries are stored
Resend sends us a notification email when someone joins the waitlist
Zoho Mail sends and stores our email with you
Google Analytics measures how our pages are used
Stripe or PayPal processes payments

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety. If FlashGenius is ever sold or merged, this information may transfer to the new owner, who must keep following this policy.

Cookies and analytics

Our pages use Google Analytics cookies. We don't use advertising cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The pages work the same either way.

How long we keep it

Waitlist entries: until you ask us to remove them, or 12 months after our last email to you, whichever comes first
Enrolled families: for the program and 12 months afterward, so we can tell you about future cohorts. You can ask us to delete it sooner.
Payment records: as long as tax and accounting rules require

Your choices

Every email we send has an unsubscribe link.
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you or your teen. Email creator@flashgenius.net and we'll reply within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, state law may give you further rights. We honor those requests through the same email address.

Keeping it safe

We limit access to the people who run the program and use reputable providers that protect the data they hold. Live sessions use a new private link for each session, sent only to enrolled families. No method of storing or sending information is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect it.

Our team and service providers are based in the United States, and your information is stored there.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use information you've already given us, we'll email you first.
