Notice. InternPick is a technology platform and listing service — similar to how a real-estate marketplace connects buyers and sellers. We facilitate discovery, communication, and paperwork between schools, students, and host employers. We are not a school, employer, placement agency, insurer, broker, or guarantor of any outcome. All parties use the site at their own risk.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for preferences, authentication state, and UI settings.
2. Why we use them
- Essential: sign-in sessions (including Firebase Authentication), security tokens, load balancing, and saving cookie preferences.
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (when configured) for aggregate page views and site usage — not for cross-site advertising.
- Functional: remembering UI choices, active account context, and development or demo preferences where applicable.
3. Your choices
Essential cookies are always active because the Service will not function without them.
You can clear cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out or reset preferences.
See the cookie categories summary at the bottom of this page for what InternPick uses today.
4. Third-party services
Some embedded services (such as maps or authentication providers) may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We encourage reviewing those providers’ notices when you interact with their features.
Audience review
Role-specific provisions
The sections below summarize how this document applies to educators, students, and host employers. District counsel may review each block independently.
Where InternPick collects acceptance
The table below maps each onboarding and invite flow to the legal documents presented and how acceptance is recorded. Schools may share this section with district counsel when reviewing InternPick alongside local WBL policies.
School-authored terms (student or host) are optional, configured by each school under Settings → Legal, and are separate from InternPick’s platform documents.
- [Educators] New school account — Platform Facilitator Agreement (/onboarding/platform-agreement): Platform Facilitator Agreement, InternPick Terms v1.1, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use — Scroll through terms, type full legal name, and check explicit agree; acceptance stored on school record with timestamp and policy version.
- [Educators] New school account — Student Data Privacy Agreement (/onboarding/student-data-privacy): Student Data Privacy Agreement v1.0 (FERPA-ready school official terms) — After platform terms, scroll through the DPA, type full legal name, and check explicit agree; acceptance stored on schools/{id}/settings/dpa.
- [Educators] Join existing school (invited staff/admin) (/accept-invite): InternPick Terms v1.1, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy — Checkbox acknowledgment (and typed name where collected) before completing invite; does not overwrite school owner platform or DPA acceptance.
- [Educators] Join existing school (short onboarding path) (/onboarding/platform-agreement): Platform Facilitator Agreement, InternPick Terms v1.1 — Typed legal name + explicit agree on platform agreement step when joining via school invite without creating a new school. Does not write school DPA.
- [Educators] Existing school — accept or re-accept DPA in Settings (/settings/legal/compliance): Student Data Privacy Agreement v1.0 — School admins may accept a missing or updated DPA from Settings → Legal without blocking the workspace. Soft banner prompts admins until current.
- [Hosts] Host invited by a school (/accept-invite): InternPick Terms v1.1; optional school host terms if enabled by the school — Checkbox for InternPick terms; scroll-to-end + checkbox for optional school host terms.
- [Hosts] Register company workspace (business account) (/business/onboarding): Platform Facilitator Agreement, InternPick Terms v1.1, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use — Scroll through terms, type full legal name, and check explicit agree on company profile wizard (after Find company); acceptance stored on business + educator records.
- [Students] Student school invite (/join/[invite-token]): InternPick student terms (includes platform terms); optional school student terms if enabled — Scroll through full terms, then checkbox; optional second scroll + checkbox for school terms.
- [Guardians] Parent/guardian program consent (/parent-consent): Program consent scope, e-sign disclosure, Privacy Policy — Guardian completes consent form; school remains responsible for required authorizations.
- [All users] Public site use (no account) (/terms · /privacy · /cookies · /dpa): Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Student Data Privacy Agreement (reference) — Using the public site constitutes agreement to posted Terms and acknowledgment of the Privacy Policy. The DPA binds schools that accept it in-product.
