Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the site includes personal data you voluntarily provide to us when you contact us through our contact form, including your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment information, government identification numbers, or sensitive personal data.

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log standard technical data, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, and the pages you view. This information is collected automatically through server logs and is used for technical administration and security purposes. This type of collection is standard practice for virtually all websites and does not identify you personally unless combined with other information.

We may also use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior on our site. The specific types of cookies we use are described in our Cookie Policy, available at cookies.html.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information you provide through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry and facilitate communication with you. We do not use your contact information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Automatically collected technical data is used to maintain the security and operation of our website, analyze usage patterns to improve our content and user experience, diagnose technical problems, and comply with legal obligations. This data is processed under our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure educational platform.

To the extent we use cookies for analytics purposes, we do so to understand how visitors interact with our content so we can improve the educational value of our site. You may decline non-essential cookies through our cookie consent mechanism without affecting your ability to access our content.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)

While the United States does not have a single comprehensive federal privacy law equivalent to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we recognize the importance of transparent data practices. For users in states with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, we note the following. We collect personal information in the categories described above. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA. California residents have the right to request disclosure of personal information we have collected, request deletion of their personal information, and opt out of any sale of personal information (though we do not engage in such sales).

Other states including Virginia (Consumer Data Protection Act), Colorado (Colorado Privacy Act), Connecticut (Connecticut Data Privacy Act), and others have enacted or are enacting privacy legislation. We aim to honor the substantive rights these laws provide to residents of those states, including the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of personal data we hold about you.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our activities, provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may disclose your information where required to do so by law, in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a governmental request. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information you provide through our contact form for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up questions, generally not exceeding twelve months from the date of your initial contact. Server log data is typically retained for a shorter period for security and operational purposes. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

6. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. Our website operates over HTTPS, which encrypts data transmitted between your browser and our server. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

7. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete such information. This policy is consistent with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
