Education by Design Privacy Policy

At Education by Design we understand that your right to privacy is very important.  We recognise that if you choose to provide us with personal information about yourself, you are trusting us to act in a responsible manner.   This trust is very important to us and we believe that the information should only be used to help us provide you with a better service.

Protecting your privacy
We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals.

In the event you purchase something via credit card from our site, we delete your credit card numbers from our files once we have authorised the number with the appropriate authorisation and processing companies. These companies will not use this information for any other purpose and will not disclose the information to anyone else.

What personal information do we collect?
In general, when you visit our web site and access information you remain anonymous. We do not use cookies to track your surfing habits.

Our Special Needs Newsletter
If you sign up for the Education by Design electronic newsletter or e-mail list, we ask you for your name,  e-mail and country.  Name and country are optional, but we collect it to give us an idea of where our visitors are from, so that our newsletter is more relevant.  Each e-mail will include instructions on how to "unsubscribe" from that list.

Children's Privacy
StoryTeller
In our StoryTeller pages, we ask that the child submitting the story provide their first name (only), age, town and country, though this information is optional.  When a story is submitted to our site, it is stored on the database and emailed to us. We do not pass this information on to any third party.

Stories published on our site become the property of Education by Design and we reserve the right to publish it. The copyright of all stories remains with the author.

Education by Design encourages parents to go online with their children. Parents should understand the sites their kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate. There are parental control tools available such as browsers and filtering software that prevent children from accessing inappropriate sites. Children should never give out personal information on the Internet, such as name, address, phone number, or name of school, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Look for a privacy policy on a web site and find out how information collected from children is treated. Parents should teach their children to look for sites that display a privacy policy.

Tell a friend
Email addresses used for 'tell a friend' are not stored on our site under any circumstances.

Links to other sites
We also provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control those web sites, we encourage you to review the sites first and the privacy policies posted on these third party sites
