Privacy Policy
Effective October 30, 2026
This policy explains what information A & A Standard Safety collects through aastandardsafety.com and our online courses, how we use it, and who we share it with.
Who we are
A & A Standard Safety, Sacramento, California. Email: aaron@aastandardsafety.com.
Information we collect
Quote request form. Your name, company, email address, phone number (optional), the service you need, and your message.
Purchases. When you buy through our site, Stripe collects your email address, payment card details, and billing address on its own checkout page. Stripe sends us your name, email address, what you bought, the quantity, and the amount paid. We do not receive your full card number.
Part 46 New Miner Training course. Your access code, full name, email address, company, Mine ID or Contractor ID (optional), mine name and location (optional), where you are taking the course, the name of the competent person overseeing your training, the competent person’s email address (optional), and how to reach them. While you train, the course records your module progress, active training time, video completion, knowledge-check results, written activity answers, and the questions you type for your competent person.
WVPP online training. Your name, email address, job title, company, work location (optional), progress, quiz results, and questions you type. Your employer provides the name and email address of its plan administrator.
Website visits. Like most websites, our host, Netlify, receives technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the page you visited, and the site that referred you.
How we use it
- To reply to quote requests and provide the services you ask for.
- To process orders, send access codes, and handle refunds.
- To run the courses: save your progress so you can resume, and create and email training records.
- To keep the site working and secure, and to count visits.
We do not sell or rent your information. We do not use it for advertising.
Who receives your information
- Your employer or mine. Course training records are emailed to the trainee and to the competent person (Part 46) or plan administrator (WVPP) named during registration. That is the purpose of the record.
- Netlify hosts our website and stores quote form submissions. Netlify also screens submissions for spam.
- Google provides our email and the course servers. Course data is sent to a Google Apps Script program we run and stored in Google Sheets in our Google account. Record and welcome emails are sent through our Google account. Some of our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google’s servers.
- Stripe processes payments.
- YouTube (owned by Google) hosts the training videos shown in the Part 46 course.
- Others when the law requires it, or to protect our rights or someone’s safety.
Each of these companies handles information under its own privacy policy.
Information stored on your device
Our site does not set its own cookies. Our online courses store your access code, email address, and progress in your browser’s local storage so the course can reopen where you left off. You can clear this by clearing your browser’s site data. Stripe, YouTube, and Google may set or read their own cookies or similar identifiers when their services load.
Do Not Track
Our site does not change how it works when your browser sends a Do Not Track signal. We do not track you across other websites. Third-party services that load on our pages, such as YouTube and Google Fonts, may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites.
How long we keep it
We keep quote requests for 2 years. We keep course registration and training records for 3 years so records can be resent if your employer needs them. Your employer or mine must keep its own copies for as long as the law requires it to. We keep order records as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Reviewing or changing your information
To see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, email aaron@aastandardsafety.com. We will reply within 30 days. If you ask us to delete training records, we may first tell your employer or mine, because they may need the record.
Security
We use reputable service providers and limit access to the people who need it. No method of sending or storing data online is completely secure.
Children
Our site and courses are for employers and workers. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we update the effective date at the top. If we make a material change, we will also post a notice on our homepage for at least 30 days.
