1. Purpose
Vast Reentry Services respects the privacy and dignity of individuals seeking services, participating in programs, or visiting our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and disclose information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide voluntarily (name, contact info, date of birth, employment history, reentry status, intake info, referral info, communication history, emergency contacts), referral-based information from courts and partner organizations, and website information (IP address, browser type, pages visited, form submissions). We do not sell personal data.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to provide reentry and stabilization services, deliver life-skills, applied-skills, workforce-readiness, digital-learning, and related programming through EmpowerU Applied Skills, VRS's official skills-training and learning division, coordinate referrals and services, track program participation, communicate with participants and partners, improve services, and comply with legal obligations.
4. Information Sharing
We may share information with referral or service partners when authorized by the participant or otherwise permitted or required by law; with contracted service providers where necessary for operations; and when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to address an immediate safety concern. VRS seeks to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
5. Confidentiality
VRS strives to maintain confidentiality of participant information. VRS does not provide legal advice. Certain services may be subject to additional confidentiality, consent, payer, provider, contractual, or regulatory requirements. Where applicable, those requirements and any program-specific privacy notices will govern in addition to this Privacy Policy. Communications through email or website forms may not be fully secure.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information, including restricted access, password-protected systems, secure file storage protocols, and limited internal access on a need-to-know basis.
7. Retention of Records
Participant records are retained in accordance with operational needs, grant or contractual requirements, and applicable legal requirements. Records may be archived after program completion.
8. Your Rights
Participants may request correction of inaccurate information, clarification of how information is used, and withdrawal of voluntary consent. Requests may be submitted to: office@vastreentry.org
