What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Log Data
Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site (“Log Data”).
This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.
In addition, we use third party services including Google Analytics and Monster Insights that collect, monitor, and analyze this.
Cookies
Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
Like many sites, we use “cookies” to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.
Communications
If you sign up to receive this site’s posts by email, we collect and store your email address. We do not share this information with any third party.
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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Our Podcasts page embeds content from anchor.fm. See their Privacy Policy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to track site activity. (See Google Analytics’ data practices and policies.) Google’s data collection for Display and Search Remarketing is disabled on this site. Google’s Demographics and Interest Reports are disabled on this site.
We use the MonsterInsights plugin, including the MonsterInsights EU Compliance plugin, on this site. MonsterInsights uses data collected by Google Analytics. This allows us to track interactions with our site pages and content, so we can, for example, know how many people click to download the instructor resources available on the site. The EU Compliance plugin helps us to comply with GDPR regulations.
Who we share your data with
The only Personal Identification data we collect is the email address of opt-in subscribers, and we do not share that data with anyone.
