Last updated: October 26, 2026
OpenByte is a student-led education and technology-access initiative based in Ashburn, Virginia. This page explains information visitors may share with us.
Information you share
When you email OpenByte, apply for a team position, ask about a class, or submit a device donation form, you may supply your name, contact details, program interests, and device or service details. Please do not send sensitive personal information that we do not need.
Parents or guardians should help minors complete forms when appropriate. Participant names, faces, and photos should not be published without appropriate permission.
How information is used
Information is used to respond to inquiries, coordinate classes, plan device donations and pickup, manage volunteer applications, and document our activities. Authorized team members may access relevant information for these purposes.
Third-party services
This website links to Google Forms, Instagram, and Hack Club Bank, OpenByte's donation and fiscal sponsorship platform. Those services have their own privacy practices. We also use GoatCounter for website visitor analytics. This site itself does not process credit-card payments.
Contact and records
Records may be kept as needed for program operations, documentation, and applicable recordkeeping. To ask a question about information you supplied or request a correction or removal, contact team@openbyte-np.org. We will review requests.
Updates
We may update this policy as our programs or tools change.
