Public Speaking for Homeschoolers respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through this website, how that information may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
Who We Are
Public Speaking for Homeschoolers provides online public speaking instruction designed specifically for homeschool students and families.
Our website address is https://publicspeakingforhomeschoolers.com/
Public Speaking for Homeschoolers is operated by Empowering Speech, LLC, which is responsible for the operation of this website and the collection, use, and protection of personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
For questions about this Privacy Policy or how personal information is handled, please contact us through our ** Contact Page.**
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as information submitted through forms, comments, account registration, or other interactive features.
The website may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type or user agent, cookies, and similar data needed for website functionality, security, and spam prevention.
Comments
If visitors leave comments on the website, we may collect the information shown in the comments form as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. Gravatar is operated by Automattic. Its privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After a comment is approved, a Gravatar profile picture, if associated with the email address, may be publicly visible alongside the comment.
Media
If the website allows you to upload images, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location information (EXIF GPS data). Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract location information embedded in those files.
Cookies
The website uses cookies to support normal website functionality and improve convenience.
If you leave a comment, you may be given the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so that you do not need to enter those details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain for one year.
If you visit a website login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
For users who log in, cookies may be used to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies generally remain for two days, while screen-option cookies may remain for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If an authorized user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be stored in the browser. This cookie contains no personal information and identifies only the post ID of the article that was edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages or articles on this website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, or other material from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in substantially the same way as it would if you visited the third-party website directly.
Those third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, employ additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. If you have an account with the third-party service and are logged in to it, that service may also associate your interaction with your account.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not disclose personal information except as necessary to operate, administer, secure, or support the website and its features, or as otherwise required by law.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password-reset email.
Information associated with comments may also be processed by an automated spam-detection service.
Third-party services associated with embedded content may collect information directly from you as described above and according to their own privacy policies.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows the website to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on the website, if registration is available, we may store the personal information provided in the user’s profile. Registered users can generally view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except that a username may not be changeable. Website administrators may also view and edit that information as necessary to administer the website.
Other information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for administrative, legal, security, or record keeping purposes.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing personal information the website holds about you, including information you provided.
You may also request deletion of personal information the website holds about you. This right does not apply to information that must be retained for administrative, legal, security, or other legitimate purposes.
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide additional rights regarding your personal information.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam-detection service. Information may also be transmitted to third-party services when necessary to provide embedded content or other website functionality.
Third-Party Privacy Practices
This website may link to or incorporate services operated by third parties. Public Speaking for Homeschoolers does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services. You should review the privacy policies of those providers before supplying personal information to them.
Children’s Privacy
Public Speaking for Homeschoolers provides content and services related to public-speaking education for homeschool families. Parents and guardians should supervise minors’ use of the website and the submission of personal information.
The website should not be used by a child to submit personal information without the involvement or consent of a parent or legal guardian where such consent is required by applicable law.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the website, its practices, or applicable requirements. When the policy is revised, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be changed.
