What this policy says, in plain words
- We collect what you send us when you book, email, or fill out a form: your name, email, phone, company, and message.
- We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and does not follow you from site to site.
- Microsoft runs our booking calendar and Google serves our fonts. They may keep their own records.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for ads.
- If a school or company sends us an interest form about our CareerPath career-readiness program, we keep the contact details and message you give us for up to 24 months, use them only to reply, and do not share or sell them.
- CareerPath is open only to people in the United States, and only in the states we have opened so far. If you live somewhere we have not opened yet, we keep your name, email, and where you live so we can tell you when it opens, and we take no assessment answers from you.
- While CareerPath is by invitation, we keep the email addresses of the people we invite, with the dates, so only they can create an account. We do not email them from CareerPath and we do not use the list for anything else.
- You can ask to see, fix, or delete your information. Email [email protected].
- This website is not meant for children under 13.
- This policy covers this website and CareerPath interest forms. CareerPath candidate accounts have their own privacy notice, and client work is covered by separate agreements.
This summary is for convenience. If it differs from the full text below, the full text controls.
1. Who We Are
Tech 1 Services, LLC ("Tech 1 Services," "we," "our," or "us") is a technology governance and cybersecurity advisory firm based in Orlando, Florida. We can be reached at [email protected].
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you use our consultation booking calendar, contact us by email, or submit an inquiry through the site, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email address, phone number, organization name, and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit tech1services.net, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as pages visited, referring source, approximate location, and device/browser type. Cloudflare Web Analytics is a privacy-first analytics service that does not use cookies or any persistent client-side identifiers, and does not track individual visitors across sites. See Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation and the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.
CareerPath interest forms (schools and employers)
CareerPath is our career-readiness assessment program. A school or employer can leave an interest form to ask about it. The form asks for your organization name, your name, your work email address, your role, and a message. We use it only to reply to you and to understand how many schools and employers are interested, in totals that do not name anyone. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising, or give it to other organizations. It is stored in our CareerPath system, which runs on Microsoft Azure, and is visible only to the staff who handle these requests. We keep it for up to 24 months after our last contact with you, then delete it, and you can ask us to delete it sooner. This form is for adults acting for an organization. It is not for students, and it does not create a CareerPath candidate account.
CareerPath staff accounts and profiles
People who work on CareerPath for us, such as reviewers and administrators, have a staff account. The account holds their name, work email address, the sign-in identity issued by Microsoft, the roles they have been given, when they last signed in, and a record of changes to their access and the reason for each. A staff member can also add an optional profile with their job title, work phone, time zone, areas of expertise, certifications, and, if they choose, their pronouns and preferred way of being contacted. Only the person can see their own profile today. It is never shown to candidates and is not used in scoring or placement. We keep staff account and access records with our program records, and a staff member can ask us to correct or remove optional profile details at any time. An administrator can invite several staff at once from a list of names and work email addresses; that list is used only to create the accounts. If someone with a Tech 1 work account signs in without having been invited, we record a request for access: the work email address from their Microsoft sign-in, the name they gave, and a short note if they add one. An administrator approves it, giving a role and a reason, or declines it with a reason. We keep the request and the decision with the access records described above.
CareerPath certificates of completion
When a CareerPath candidate finishes a Tech 1 course or role, a program administrator can confirm it and issue a certificate of completion. We keep the candidate's name and email address, the title and hours of the program, the completion date, the reference from our training platform, a certificate code, the administrator who approved it with their written reason, and the time. If a certificate is withdrawn we keep who withdrew it, when, and why. A certificate records that a program was completed. It is not a professional certification, license or accreditation, and it is never based on, or used to decide anything from, a candidate's assessment scores. Certificates are for adult candidates only. Anyone who has a certificate's code can check it on a public CareerPath page. That page shows whether the certificate is valid or withdrawn, the program, the hours, and the completion date. It shows the candidate's name only if the candidate chooses to show it, which is off unless they turn it on, and they can turn it off again at any time. It never shows an email address, the training platform reference, the approval reason, or any assessment result. The page is not listed by search engines, and each address is limited in how many codes it can check per minute. We keep them with the candidate's other CareerPath records, and they are deleted when a candidate asks us to erase their account.
CareerPath pilot invitations
While CareerPath is open by invitation only, a program administrator keeps a list of the email addresses of the people who may create an account. For each address we keep the date it was added, who added it, the date it stops being valid, and whether it was used, withdrawn or has expired. The list holds no names, no notes about why someone was chosen, and nothing about anyone's results, and it is never based on assessment scores. It is visible only to program administrators. When someone signs in to create a CareerPath account, we compare the email address from their sign-in with this list. If it is not on the list, we do not create an account and we do not save any assessment information; the sign-in itself is kept by Microsoft Entra, our identity provider, as described in the section on third-party services. CareerPath does not send email to people on the list. Each invitation entry is not linked to the account that results from it, so deleting a CareerPath account does not remove the invited address. We are setting a fixed time after which unused invitations are deleted; until then, you can ask us to remove an address at [email protected].
Booking and scheduling
CareerPath availability and where you live
CareerPath is offered to people who live in the United States, in the states we have opened so far. We add states over time, and we confirm whether yours is open when you create an account, so this policy does not list them. When you set up a CareerPath profile you choose your country, your state, and optionally your county and city. We use your state and county only to decide whether CareerPath is open where you live and which area's job-market figures to show you. If CareerPath is not yet open where you live, we keep the name, email address, country, and state you gave us so that we can tell you when it opens, and we do not collect any assessment answers from you. You can ask us to delete that information at any time at [email protected]. The terms for candidates who do use CareerPath, including how long we keep their information, are in the CareerPath agreement they accept when they register.
The job-market figures CareerPath shows come from public sources: pay and job-growth data from the U.S. Department of Labor (CareerOneStop and the Bureau of Labor Statistics), and counts of advertised job postings from Adzuna. We download those figures ourselves on a schedule and keep our own copy. We do not send these services any information about a CareerPath candidate, and they do not receive your location.
Consultation scheduling is handled through Microsoft Bookings (Microsoft 365). When you book an appointment, your information is processed by Microsoft in accordance with Microsoft's Privacy Statement. We receive the booking details you submit.
