Your data that I collect & protect

Email sent to me is kept in my email archive. This archive primarily exists on my own hard drive (after routing through Google mail, which I clean out every few months). If someone gets access to my hard drive, then … that would be terrible. I have no idea how I would deal. No matter what, if you contact me, your email address is vulnerable via this scenario.

Course purchases are tracked in Woocommerce. A record of purchases is stored in my Stripe account, and notifications are archived for a few months in my email archive, then cleaned out. Name of participants in the Live Practice series are recorded in a Google sheet, so that I can mark who has attended the meetings. All your payment transactions are wholly within the Stripe servers.

Course communications are sometimes sent to the group of participants in each class. Communication also appears within your account on this site. I also have a Slack workspace where we can all collaborate, as well as shared exercises in Mural. All of these locations will be using your email address to signify you.

Cookies are used for logging in to your account on this site, and for Learndash to track your progress through the self-paced courses you have purchased. If you have an account and you log in to this site, I 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, I 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.

Analytics track page traffic, which I look at to see if any content should be surfaced differently to make it easier for visitors.

Comments for this site are turned off. Comments are welcome on my Medium publication Inclusive Software.

A data breach of your email address from one of these locations is possible, so if someone emails you spoofing me, don’t give them any bank, credit card, tax, or citizen numbers. I will never ask you for that. Your purchase data is protected within Stripe, and they have security and plans and teams in place in case of a data breach.
