Privacy Policy

Information You Share With Us

When you create an account, join our mailing list, leave a comment, make a purchase, or complete a survey, you voluntarily provide details such as your name, email address, and—if you buy a digital product—your billing information. Payment details are processed directly by PayPal or Stripe and never touch our servers. Anything you post in a public comment or contact form is visible to us and anyone who reads that page once your comment is approved.

Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we record certain technical details each time you visit. Your IP address, basic browser information, and the pages you view are logged so we can keep the Site secure and understand which articles resonate with readers. Cookies and tracking pixels also help us remember your display preferences, keep you logged in, measure traffic via Google Analytics, and record clicks on outbound links that earn affiliate commissions through Sovrn //Commerce, Skimlinks, Amazon Associates, or similar networks.

How We Use This Information

• Operate, secure, and improve PerfectMyClassroom
• Deliver the digital resources you request
• Send newsletters and free downloads you’ve asked for
• Track affiliate sales
• Detect spam and prevent fraud
• Meet ordinary legal and tax obligations

If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal grounds for processing are your consent, the need to perform a contract with you, our legitimate interest in operating a professional website, and compliance with the law.

Cookies in Everyday Language

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device.

• Essential cookies keep you signed in and help our spam filter (Akismet) separate genuine teachers from bots.
• Preference cookies remember things like your comment details or screen settings so you don’t have to re-enter them.
• Analytics cookies tell us—anonymously—how visitors move around the Site.
• Marketing cookies set by our affiliate partners credit us when you click a product link and later complete a purchase.

You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser, but some features may misbehave.

Third-Party and Embedded Content

Blog posts often feature YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, or Canva designs. Interacting with that content is the same as visiting those platforms directly—they may collect data, set their own cookies, or log your interactions according to their privacy policies.

When We Share Data

We do not sell your personal information. We share only what is necessary with trusted service providers:

• Hosting – SiteGround
• Email marketing – Mailchimp / ConvertKit
• Payments – PayPal & Stripe
• Analytics – Google Analytics (IP anonymization enabled)
• Spam protection – Akismet
• Affiliate networks – Sovrn //Commerce, Skimlinks, Amazon Associates

Each provider processes data solely to deliver its service and must keep that data confidential.

Data Retention

• Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely so we can recognize follow-up remarks without slowing moderation.
• Newsletter details remain until you unsubscribe or we close the list.
• Transaction records are retained for seven years to satisfy tax law.
• Routine server logs are wiped or anonymized after about a month.

Your Rights and Choices

You may:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct or delete your data (except where we must keep it for legal or security reasons)
• Object to certain uses or withdraw consent to marketing emails at any time
• Request that we transfer your information to another provider

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request through our Privacy Request Form. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

Children

The Site is aimed at teachers and other adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please let us know via the Privacy Request Form so we can remove it.

Security

We protect your information with SSL encryption, strong passwords, and role-based permissions. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable, industry-standard steps to safeguard your data.

International Visitors

Our servers and most service partners are located in the United States. By using the Site, you consent to having your information transferred to the U.S. or other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those where you live.

Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on the Site or by email, and the “Last updated” date above will change accordingly.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data-handling practices, please use the Privacy Request Form. A business mailing address will be provided upon request through that form, in line with applicable regulations.

Thank you for trusting PerfectMyClassroom. Your privacy matters to us, and we’re committed to using your information only to build better classrooms together.
