Home › Privacy notice
This is a site about data protection, so it ought to hold itself to the same standard. In plain terms, here’s what I do and don’t collect.
The site itself
These pages are plain, self-contained static files. They make no advertising or profiling calls. Your reading-controls preferences (text size, contrast, spacing) are stored only in your own browser’s local storage, on your device, and are never sent anywhere.
The DPIA screening tool you download runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type into it is transmitted to me or anyone else; it stays on your device unless you choose to save, print or send it.
Analytics, only with your agreement
I use Google Analytics to understand how the site is being used: how many people visit, which pages they read, and roughly where in the world they’re reading from. It doesn’t run by default. On your first visit you’re asked whether you’re happy for it to, and nothing loads, and no cookies are set, unless you say yes. Saying no thanks changes nothing about what you can read or download.
If you do agree, Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and sends usage data to Google, which processes it on my behalf. What I see is aggregated (page views, visit counts, general location, device type) and I can’t identify you from it. Google Analytics 4 doesn’t log or store visitors’ IP addresses. Your choice, whichever way you make it, is kept in your browser’s local storage so you aren’t asked again on every visit.
With JavaScript switched off, analytics never loads at all.
The sign-up form
To unlock the DPIA screening tool I ask you to complete a short form. That form is a Google Form, and the information you enter is processed by Google on my behalf as a data processor. Here’s the detail:
| Who is responsible (controller) | Me, Mark Anderson (ICT Evangelist), the data controller for sign-ups. |
|---|---|
| What I collect | Only what the form asks: your name, work email, your school, trust or organisation, your role if you choose to give it, and whether you’d be interested in hearing about future cohort work. I don’t ask for special-category data; please don’t enter any. |
| Why (purpose) | To provide the resource you requested and, where you’ve agreed, to contact you about related AI-in-education resources. |
| Lawful basis | Consent, which you give by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time (see below). |
| Who processes it | Google (Google Forms) as my processor. Data may be handled under Google’s standard data-processing terms and approved international-transfer safeguards. |
| How long I keep it | The list is reviewed annually and details no longer needed are deleted. You can ask me to delete yours sooner at any time. |
| Your rights | Access, correction, deletion, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Contact me and I’ll action it. |

This notice covers this website, its analytics and its sign-up form. It was last reviewed when analytics was added, and will be updated whenever what’s collected, or how it’s processed, changes.
