NewSchooling.org Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10-22-2025

1. Who We Are

NewSchooling.org (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website https://newschooling.org (“the Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly and transparently.

2. Information We Collect

a. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

b. Media Uploads

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

c. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and facilitate functionality. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year. When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. Login cookies last two days; display preference cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie indicating the post ID will be saved for one day.

d. Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking if you are logged into their platform.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to improve performance and usability of our Site; to respond to comments, inquiries, and requests; to manage community interactions; and to prevent spam or fraudulent activity.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and automatically approve future comments instead of holding them for moderation. For registered users, personal information is stored in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request erasure of your data, except where required for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Contact: privacy@newschooling.org

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or misuse. However, no online system is completely secure.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our site is designed for families and educators, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If such data is discovered, it will be deleted promptly.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised date. Please check regularly for any changes.
