Privacy Policy
At Impact Washington, helping Washington manufacturers thrive is our mission, and earning your trust is key. We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect on our website, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently.
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
Information You Provide to Us
You may provide personal information when you interact with our site. For example, you might:
- Fill out a contact form – we use that information to respond to you and follow up as needed.
- Subscribe to our newsletter – we use your email to send you updates and relevant communications.
- Register for an event or training – we use your registration information to confirm your participation, coordinate the event, and communicate updates.
- Complete a survey or request form – we use your feedback to improve our services and follow up where appropriate.
- Create a Made in Washington Directory account – we use it to set up and manage your account and company listing.
In each case, we only ask for the information we need to support your engagement with us. We use your information to provide the services, communications, or resources you’ve requested, and to manage related activities such as event coordination, follow-up communication, program delivery, and impact reporting. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated purposes or share it with others except as described below.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our website, we collect some information automatically to understand how our site is used and to improve it. We use cookies and similar technologies for this purpose. For example, we use Google Analytics to gather anonymous statistics about site usage, and Google Ads to support outreach and engagement.
These tools may collect information such as your device type or general location, but they do not identify you personally. This information helps us improve our website and better reach those who may benefit from our services.
How We Share Your Information
We treat your information with care. Impact Washington does not sell or rent your data. We only share your information in limited cases:
- With service providers that help us operate our website, communications, and event platforms. These providers use your information only to perform services on our behalf.
- With partner organizations when we collaborate on events or programs. For example, if you register for a co-hosted or partner-supported event, we may share your name and contact information with that partner to support event coordination, participation, and follow-up activities.
- With NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and related program funders/reporting entities, as required for impact measurement. As part of our funding and reporting obligations, we share company and contact information associated with services or events to measure and report on our impact supporting manufacturers across Washington State.
- For legal or safety reasons if required by law or necessary to protect rights, comply with legal processes, or prevent fraud.
Outside of these situations, your personal information remains within Impact Washington and is accessed only by team members who need it to perform their work. We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and we maintain safeguards such as secure systems and access controls. Only authorized personnel can access personal data, and only for appropriate business purposes.
While no system can guarantee complete security, we actively work to protect your data and will notify you if a breach occurs as required by law

- Access & Correction: You can request details about the information we hold and ask us to correct inaccuracies.
- Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
- Deletion: You can request deletion of your information, subject to legal or operational requirements.
