How Invest Hamilton County handles your information on this navigator

Plain-English summary first; the formal terms follow.

In one paragraph

If you subscribe, we collect the email + name + role + employer you give us, plus the topics you select for newsletter segmentation. We use that information to send you program updates and (if you opt in) the IHC employer newsletter. We don’t sell or share your information with third parties for their own marketing. You can unsubscribe with one click in any email.

What we collect

  • From the subscribe form: work email (required), name, role, employer, topics-of-interest, your two consent choices.
  • Automatically when you click through: which resource you opened to (so we can email you when that program changes), your browser’s user-agent string (capped at 200 characters; used only for spam-bot detection).
  • Calculator inputs (transient): when you run the WOTC, OJT, or Tax Stacker calculators, your inputs are NOT stored to your subscriber record. They live only in your browser session for the result page.

What we DON’T collect

  • Cookies for ad targeting, retargeting, analytics fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking.
  • Your IP address as a stored field (logged transiently by Render only).
  • Geolocation, microphone, camera, contacts, or any device-level signal.
  • Anything from third-party trackers — no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, FullStory, or ad networks.
  • Personally identifiable employer financial information beyond what you voluntarily enter into a calculator (and that’s session-only).

Two consent checkboxes — what each means

  • Transactional (required): Required to see full eligibility, application steps, and contact details. We’ll email you when programs you’ve viewed change (deadlines, awards, eligibility) and confirm your topic interests. This is genuinely transactional under CAN-SPAM.
  • Marketing (optional): If you also check this, you’re added to the IHC employer newsletter (monthly highlights, new programs, employer events, deal-flow updates). One-click unsubscribe in every email.

Two navigators, two lists

The Employer Resource Navigator and the Workforce Resource Navigator are separate gates. If you subscribe to one, you don’t automatically get added to the other. If you want both, subscribe to both — they capture different topic preferences.

Where your information lives

Your subscription record is stored on IHC infrastructure (Render Web Service, encrypted SQLite + JSONL audit log). When you opt in to the marketing newsletter, your record is exported to IHC’s CRM and mail platform (HubSpot) for delivery; HubSpot is CAN-SPAM-compliant. Outbound clicks (which programs you opened) live only on IHC infrastructure and are used for editorial decisions, never shared.

Calculator outputs are not financial advice

The WOTC Eligibility Quick-Check, OJT Reimbursement Estimator, and Indiana Tax Credit Stacker produce maximum-theoretical estimates only. Actual credit awards depend on IRS, IEDC, DOR, and Indiana DWD review. Consult your CPA before committing investment plans or filing returns. Nothing on this navigator is legal, tax, or financial advice.

Your rights

  • Unsubscribe — one click in any email, or visit /unsubscribe and enter your email.
  • Update — re-subscribe with the same email and updated interests; we merge your preferences.
  • Delete — email info@investhamiltoncounty.com and we’ll permanently delete your record within 30 days (subject to a 10-day CAN-SPAM suppression-list retention required by law).
  • Audit — request a copy of everything we have on you; same email, 30-day SLA.
