NTSU Online Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions of Use in Plan English
This is not a members-only blog. Anyone may read all posts and comments.
I don’t want my privacy violated, and I assume you don’t want yours violated either. To post on this site, you will have to sign in with a name and a valid email address. You may use a pseudonym if you like. NTSU will never use your personal information for any purpose other than allowing you to log in, or to contact about blog updates if you choose to be on our mailing list. We will never share your personal information. When you post, NTSU records your user name, your email address, and your IP address. We publish only your user name (and your URL if you choose to include it.) We use the email and the IP address to help prevent spam, and, if necessary, to ban abusive users.
WordPress uses cookies, or tiny pieces of information stored on your computer, to verify who you are. There are cookies for logged in authors and for commentators. Your user name and a double-hashed copy of your password (double-hashing helps protect your password) are recorded. If you lose your password you may use the WordPress login to request a reset link. this is automatic and will be sent to your registered email address. Cookies are set to expire two weeks from the time they are set.
All material posted at NTSU belongs to its author. Each author is responsible for what they say. We reserve the non-exclusive right to use parts of your comments in future articles publish here or elsewhere on the web. Your comments will be credited to your user name.
You may re-post any article written by evbarney as long as you give credit, and link to NTSU as your source. Please ask permission of guest authors before re-posting their content.
When you comment, on the blog or forum, please be courteous. Disagreement is not discourtesy.
You may post links to resources you have found helpful to you as a teacher or learner. We may do the same. Links to other sites may be considered spam if they do not support the purpose of this site, or are outside the context of the conversation. If you post a link, please take a moment to tell us why you think it is valuable.
About the Forum
Forum posts may be moderated and edited if the content is inappropriate.
About the Chat
In the interest of full disclosure, it’s only fair to tell you that it is possible for administrators of this site to view chats without being logged in. This is a feature built into the chat software. Unless there are problems or complaints, I see no reason this should actually happen. Honestly, who has time? I’m including this information so that you know it is possible. Honesty and transparency are important to NTSUOnline.
