L3 Squad Privacy Policy

Last updated: 01 December 2025

L3 Squad (“L3”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) stands for Life Long Learners. L3 Squad is a non‑profit organization dedicated to training students, helping professionals gain knowledge, and building a community for continuous learning and growth.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with:

• Our organization and community activities
• Our website at https://l3squad.com (“Website”)
• Our Google Forms and similar sign‑up or application forms
• Our Chrome extension “L3 Tab Toggle” (“Extension”)

By using our Website, submitting a Google Form, or using the Extension, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Organization and community activities

When you interact with L3 Squad as a volunteer, learner, mentor, or supporter, we may collect:

• Name and contact details (e.g., email, phone, messaging handle)
• Country/region and time zone
• Skills, interests, and areas you want to learn or teach
• Availability and participation history in sessions or events
• Any information you choose to share in communication with us

We do not intentionally collect sensitive data (such as financial, health, or government ID numbers) and request that you do not include such information unless explicitly requested for a specific lawful purpose.

1.2 Website (l3squad.com)

When you visit our Website, we may receive:

• Basic technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, timestamps)
• Information you provide via contact forms, email links, or other interactive sections

This information is primarily used for:

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the Website
• Ensuring security and preventing abuse
• Responding to your questions or requests

Any analytics or logs, if used, are intended for aggregate insights and troubleshooting, not for building individual profiles.

1.3 Google Forms and other forms

We use Google Forms (and similar tools) to collect information from people who are interested in:

• Joining L3 Squad as volunteers or mentors
• Participating in learning programs, workshops, or events
• Receiving updates or information about L3 activities

These forms may collect:

• Name
• Email address and other contact details
• Country/region and time zone
• Your interests, skills, and how you would like to contribute or learn
• Any other information you choose to type into the form fields

The information you submit is stored in the respective form provider’s system (e.g., Google) and may also be accessed through spreadsheets or internal tools we use for coordination.

2. Chrome Extension – L3 Tab Toggle

2.1 Purpose of the Extension

The L3 Tab Toggle Chrome extension is a simple productivity tool intended primarily for internal L3 Squad members. It helps users quickly switch or manage browser tabs to improve focus and workflow.

2.2 Data collection by the Extension

The Extension:

• Does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information
• Does not collect browsing history, page content, keystrokes, or form data
• Does not use cookies, trackers, or analytics
• Does not send any data to L3 Squad servers or third‑party servers

All actions performed by the Extension occur locally in your browser.

If this changes in the future (for example, if a new version needs to send limited data for functionality), we will update this Privacy Policy and the Chrome Web Store listing to clearly describe what is collected and why.

3. How we use your information

We use the information described above for purposes such as:

• Coordinating volunteers, mentors, and learners
• Organizing sessions, events, and learning programs
• Communicating with you about opportunities, updates, and support
• Improving our educational programs, community, and Website
• Ensuring security and preventing misuse or abuse of our services

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your information for third‑party advertising.

4. Sharing of information

We may share your information in limited, controlled situations:

• With core L3 Squad organizers who need the information to manage programs and communication
• With other volunteers, mentors, or partner organizations when reasonably necessary to match you with an opportunity or coordinate an activity (for example, sharing your email with a session co‑host), and where possible with your awareness
• With service providers who help us run our Website, forms, communication tools, or storage (e.g., Google, email services), who process data on our behalf
• When required by law, legal process, or a valid request from a government or regulatory authority
• When necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of our learners, volunteers, or community

We do not share Extension data with any party because, as described above, the Extension does not collect personal data.

5. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to:

• Operate and improve L3 Squad programs and community
• Stay in contact with you as a volunteer, learner, or supporter
• Fulfill legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, if any

If you no longer want to be associated with L3 Squad or want us to delete your information, you can contact us (see “Contact us” below). Subject to any legal requirements, we will delete or anonymize your information within a reasonable time.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, including:

• Restricting access to form responses and internal documents to relevant organizers
• Using password‑protected accounts and access controls on third‑party services
• Periodic review of who has access to volunteer and participant information

However, no method of data storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s privacy

Many of the learners we aim to serve are young students.

Our volunteer and mentor sign‑up forms, Website contact forms, and the L3 Tab Toggle Extension are primarily intended for adults or individuals who are legally allowed to provide their own information.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent from a parent/guardian or as permitted by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

8. International data transfers

L3 Squad operates online and may involve volunteers, learners, and supporters in India and other countries.

Your information may be processed and stored on servers outside your country, for example where Google or other service providers host their infrastructure. Data protection laws may differ from those in your home country.

By providing your information or using our services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in these other locations.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing the personal information we hold about you
• Requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Requesting deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations
• Objecting to certain types of processing or withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights or make a related request, please contact us using the details below. We may ask you to verify your identity before taking action on your request.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our activities, services, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes, we may also provide additional notice (for example, on our Website or through email, where appropriate).

Your continued use of our Website, forms, or Extension after the updated Policy is posted means you accept the changes.
