Who we are

Our website address is: accessandequity.org.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

The personal information you submit to Foundation for Ensuring Access & Equity will not be shared, sold, or disclosed to third parties in any form, for any purpose, at any time without your authorization. With your permission we will use your email address to send you email relating to Foundation for Ensuring Access & Equity products and Author, Mychal Wynn’s newsletters, and other Foundation for Ensuring Access & Equity-related announcements, only.

Security

When using our secure servers, all of your personal information is encrypted before it is transmitted over the Internet. You will see “http://” change to “https://” in the URL as the secure server is engaged. This means that data cannot be read as it travels through the Internet to our systems. The secure server provides the highest level of security available. Once we receive your encrypted personal information, it is processed for the purposes of confirming your purchase only. We do not store any personal information on computer or in printed files. 

We collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email. These email addresses are used for internal purposes only. 

If you do not want to receive email from us in the future, please let us know by sending an email at the above address or select ‘unsubscribe’ from our newsletters.

Our Site is appropriate for school-age children, schools, parents, or educators as we only reflect k-12 appropriate content and we do not collect any information on visitors to our Site. 

This privacy policy is subject to change. Please review it periodically. If we make changes to the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. Any changes to this policy will become effective when we post the revised policy on the Site. Your use of the Site following these changes means that you accept the revised policy.
