What we collect
1) Email signup info
If you join our mailing list, we collect what you type into the form (currently: first name, last name, and email). We use it to send NAESE updates.
2) Basic site analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site (for example, which pages get visited, how long the site takes to load, and what content is most useful). This helps us improve the site and plan what to build next.
Where required, analytics runs only after you consent to analytics cookies in our cookie banner/settings.
3) Security / abuse prevention
We may use standard technical logs (like IP address, user agent, and timestamps) to keep the site stable, prevent spam, and investigate abuse. This is the boring “keep the lights on” stuff.
What we do with your information
- Send updates you asked for (mailing list).
- Measure and improve the site (analytics, with consent where required).
- Protect the site (security and anti-abuse).
What we don't do
- We don't knowingly collect data from children.
- We don't sell your email address as a product. Ever.
Third parties we use
Some services help us run the site. When you interact with them, they may process information on our behalf:
- Stripe — our payment processor.
- SendFox — processes our signup form and manages mailing list delivery.
- Google Analytics — provides aggregated site usage analytics.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies/tech that keep the site functioning and secure.
- Analytics cookies (only with consent where required).
If you opt into analytics, you may see cookies such as _ga, _ga_*, _gid, and _gat.
You can change your preferences at any time using the site's cookie settings link in the footer.
Email choices
Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link. If you unsubscribe, we'll stop sending you updates. Some minimal record may remain to respect the unsubscribe request and prevent accidental resubscribe.
Data retention
Mailing list data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Analytics retention is set in our Google Analytics configuration.
International visitors
If you visit from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the U.S.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No website can promise perfect security, but we do take this seriously.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as NAESE evolves. When we do, we'll update the “Effective” date at the top.
