How Team Standard Deviation (FTC 20037) handles information when you visit this website.

Updated: September 26, 2026

This notice describes the website maintained by Team Standard Deviation (FTC 20037), a FIRST Tech Challenge team at the International School of Minnesota (ISM). It is adapted to this team website and should be read alongside the International School of Minnesota’s Privacy Policy, which was updated in March 2026.

The school’s policy describes the school’s main website, admissions and inquiry forms, and services such as Blackbaud. Those services are not part of this team website. For personal information submitted directly to the school or through its services, refer to the school’s policy and contact [email protected].

Information handled by this website

Information you choose to send

This website does not provide a form for submitting personal information. If you email the team using a mail link, your email provider sends the information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and message. The team uses it to respond and handles it through the school’s email systems and applicable school retention practices.

Information handled when you visit

Like other websites, our hosting and content delivery providers may receive technical information needed to deliver, protect, and troubleshoot the site. This can include your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, and request time. We do not operate an analytics or advertising tracking service on this website.

Preferences stored in your browser

The site uses browser localStorage to remember interface preferences, including theme, accessibility options, text size, and 3D model viewer settings. These preferences stay in your browser and are not submitted to the team. You can remove them by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Some pages load the 3D model viewer code from Google’s CDN. Loading that resource may send your IP address and ordinary request information to Google. The viewer can also open augmented reality features provided by your device platform. Review Google’s Privacy Policy and your device provider’s privacy information for details.

Links to Instagram, GitHub, FIRST, sponsors, and other organizations take you to services governed by their own privacy notices. This team website does not control how those services handle information.

Children and student information

This public website may be visited by students and other minors. Team members’ names, photographs, and other identifying details are published only with the permissions required by applicable ISM policies. The site does not ask visitors to submit children’s personal information through an online form.

Parents or guardians who have a concern about information published on this site can contact the team at [email protected]. For privacy requests about information held by the school, contact [email protected].

Retention and security

Preferences remain in your browser until you clear them. Messages sent by email are handled through the school’s email systems and retention practices. Hosting providers may keep technical logs as described in their own policies.

We use reasonable measures to maintain this website, but internet transmissions and storage cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You can decline to load third-party resources through browser settings or privacy tools; some 3D viewer features may then be unavailable. You can clear locally stored preferences through your browser.

For questions about this team website’s privacy practices, email [email protected]. For requests involving information processed by ISM, contact [email protected] and see the school’s Privacy Policy.
