Privacy Policy for EdAINow

Effective Date: 20 June 2025

1. Introduction

David Bowman, doing business as EdAINow (“EdAINow,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors to edainow.com. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding that data. By accessing or using our site, you agree to the practices described below.

2. Information We Collect

  • Information you provide voluntarily
    Name and email address when you complete a web form or subscribe to our mailing list.
  • Information collected automatically
    IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, and the date/time of each page request (server logs).

We do not intentionally collect information from children under 13, nor is the site directed to that audience; therefore, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) does not apply to our regular operations (Federal Trade Commission, 2024).

3. How We Use the Data

  • Deliver requested resources, newsletters, and promotional content.
  • Respond to inquiries or feedback.
  • Improve website functionality, security, and performance.

We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.

4. Legal and Regulatory Framework

  • The site is U.S.–based and primarily serves U.S. educators; it therefore follows general U.S. consumer-privacy guidance and best-practice data-security principles (Federal Trade Commission, n.d.).
  • Because we neither target nor knowingly collect information from children under 13, COPPA’s verifiable-parental-consent requirements are not triggered.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

  • Hosting: DreamHost, whose servers are located exclusively in the United States (DreamHost, 2025).
  • Email marketing: We use an opt-in mailing list; unsubscribe links are included in every message.

These providers process limited personal information solely to deliver their contracted services.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

  • Contact-form submissions and mailing-list records are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes or until you request deletion.
  • Server logs are maintained for up to 12 months for security and diagnostics, then deleted or anonymized.

7. Your Choices and Rights

  • Access & Correction: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and ask that we correct inaccuracies.
  • Deletion: You may ask us to delete your personal data. Newsletter subscribers can also self-remove at any time via the unsubscribe link.
  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Submit requests to info@edainow.com; please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security Measures

  • TLS/HTTPS encryption of data in transit.
  • Secure, access-controlled DreamHost servers with routine patching.
  • Role-based access for staff.
  • Periodic internal reviews of log data and security settings.

These controls align with FTC guidance on protecting personal information (Federal Trade Commission, 2015).

9. International Data Transfers

We do not intentionally transfer personal data outside the United States. If future transfers become necessary, we will implement appropriate safeguards and update this Policy accordingly.

10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

EdAINow uses only essential, first-party cookies for session integrity and server-security purposes. We do not employ third-party advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Material changes will be communicated via:

  • Email notification to subscribers, and
  • Prominent notice on our homepage.

The “Effective Date” at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
