Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal information this website collects, why, and how it is used, when you request the free preview, buy the course or workbook, or contact Ruth M. Geiman, PhD, of Alternatives for Contemporary Education. Last updated {{PRIVACY_LAST_UPDATED}}. This is a template; have it reviewed before launch.
Who is responsible for your data?
Alternatives for Contemporary Education, led by Ruth M. Geiman, PhD, {{BUSINESS_POSTAL_ADDRESS}}. Email: ruthmgeiman@yahoo.com.
What information do we collect?
- Forms: name, email address, role, organization and message content you submit through the free preview, newsletter, contact and quote forms.
- Purchases: payment is handled by {{CHECKOUT_PROVIDER}}. We receive your name, email, what you bought and, for workbook orders, a shipping address. We never see or store full card numbers.
- Analytics: {{ANALYTICS_PROVIDER}} collects aggregate usage data such as pages viewed and approximate location. {{TO_CONFIRM: whether cookies are used; Plausible does not use cookies, GA4 does}}
- Course access: if the course is delivered through {{COURSE_PLATFORM_NAME}}, that platform holds your login and viewing progress under its own privacy policy.
Why do we use it?
To deliver what you asked for (the preview, your purchase, a reply), to send course updates you consented to, and to understand how the site is used. We do not sell personal information.
Who do we share it with?
Only the service providers needed to run the site: form handling ({{FORM_PROVIDER}}), email ({{EMAIL_PROVIDER}}), payments ({{CHECKOUT_PROVIDER}}), hosting ({{HOSTING_PROVIDER}}) and analytics ({{ANALYTICS_PROVIDER}}).
How long do we keep it?
{{TO_CONFIRM: retention periods for form submissions, mailing list and purchase records}}
