Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address provided on our website:

• See what data we have about you if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.

E-mail

To become a part of our homeschool community and access our growing library of subscriber-only free resources we will ask for your e-mail address and name so that we can contact you with new teaching resources, deals, sales, and tips related to homeschooling. To do this securely we use Mailchimp’servicel service provider.

 

Orders

We request information from you on our order form. To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you. This site currently sells digital products using WooCommerce in our online store. To make payments simple and secure we use credit card processing companies, such as Paypal and Stripe to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

 

Sharing

We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

This site uses this kind of sharing with WordPress Stats, Google Analytics, and GoogleAdsense.

 

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
