Frontline Bud Foundation (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and safeguarding the limited personal information we collect through our website, online courses, and related services (“Services”). This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
1. What Information We Collect
We only collect information that’s necessary to provide and improve our services. This may include:
- Contact Information: Name, email address, or phone number (when you sign up for a course, newsletter, or contact us).
- Course Participation: Information related to your progress through our educational programs.
- Veteran Status and Service Documents (Optional): If you’re a veteran and opt for free courses, we do collect service documents which are promptly and responsibly discarded following verification or rejection as outlined below in section three (3).
- Website Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited (via cookies and basic analytics tools like Google Analytics).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide access to courses, events, and job placement support
- Respond to your inquiries
- Verify service to ensure that fee waivers are allocated properly
- Improve our content and website experience
- Share occasional updates, newsletters, or new resources (only if you opt in)
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or data sales. We are a mission-driven nonprofit, so your trust matters more than clicks.
3. How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including:
- SSL encryption on our website
- Secure third-party tools for email and course delivery (e.g., Google Workspace, Thinkific, Mailchimp)
- Limiting internal access to only those who need it
- Discard of service documents following verification via third party tool
However, no system is 100% secure. By using our Services, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share limited data with trusted third-party partners only to help us operate our Services (e.g., email platforms, course portals), and those partners are required to keep your information secure and confidential.
We may also disclose information if legally required to do so (e.g., subpoena, court order).

- Understand user activity and traffic patterns
- Improve navigation and site speed
- Deliver a better browsing experience
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
