Privacy Policy

This website is owned and operated by EdTech Strategies, LLC.

At EdTech Strategies, LLC, we only collect personal information when you voluntarily provide it to us, for example, when you comment on a blog post, sign up for an email newsletter, send us a message via our contact form, or by choosing to donate or become a paying supporter of this site. Except as outlined in this privacy policy, we do not sell, disclose or provide third-parties, including our third-party partners, with personal information about visitors to our website.

Our email newsletter provider is MailChimp, which requires certain personal information provided by you, such as your email address, to operate. You can learn more about MailChimp and read its privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. You may opt-out of receiving emails sent on our behalf from MailChimp at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link available in each email that we send via this service.

We use Memberful integrated with Stripe for payment and related business services provided to site supporters. This requires the collection and sharing of personal information. Memberful also may use cookies, web beacons, and similar devices to track your activities, for instance, to keep track of when site supporters are logged in and to determine the content or services site supporters may access. You can learn more about Memberful and read its terms of service and privacy policy here: https://memberful.com/terms/. As a payment processor, Stripe collects information about the devices that connect to its services to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

One time cryptocurrency donations are managed by BitPay. As a payment processor, BitPay collects your email address and IP addresses used to view the BitPay invoice. You can learn more about BitPay and read its privacy policy at https://bitpay.com/about/privacy.

We also collect non-personal data about your visit to this site, including your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the time and date of your visit, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time you spend on those pages, and other site usage statistics. These technical details about your visit to this site are logged by our site host, Flywheel. Their privacy policy is available online at: https://getflywheel.com/legal/privacy-policy/.

Similar non-personal data are collected about users to this website by the open-source Matomo analytics application. EdTech Strategies, LLC self-hosts Matomo to better understand website visitor interests and for the purposes of website optimization. IP addresses collected by Matomo are anonymized (e.g., 192.168.xx.xx), all visitor logs are purged after 180 days, and visitors’ ‘Do Not Track’ preferences are honored.

As a service to our visitors, we include links to third party social media sites and embed sharing tools on our site, such as those provided by Twitter and Google (which operates Fusion Tables, Google Maps, and YouTube). Google also provides reCAPTCHA service to this site to prevent abuse of contact forms. By accessing those tools, you may be transmitting information to those sites, which may include the collection of non-personal information for the purposes of online advertising. Those data collection practices are governed by the privacy policies on those sites, and we encourage you to read them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and would welcome recommendations of more privacy-respecting alternatives.

You can instruct your browser to refuse third-party scripts or cookies. While, in general, this is good practice, if you choose to not accept third-party scripts or cookies on this site, you may not be able to use some features.
