Who we are

This website is operated by:

Brontosaurus Learning
Our website address is: https://brontosauruslearning.com
Email: [email protected]
In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Brontosaurus Learning.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information reasonably needed to provide our website, free resources, email updates and customer support.

Email subscriptions and free resources

When you subscribe to the Brontosaurus Learning email list or request access to free resources, we may collect:

• Your first name
• Your email address
• The date and method of your subscription
• Your subscription status
• Information about which signup form you used
• Email engagement information, such as whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, where this tracking is enabled

You do not need to create a customer account or password to access the free-resource subscription process.

Contact enquiries

When you contact us through the website, we may collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your state and/or country
• The type of enquiry
• The name of a resource or webpage relevant to your enquiry
• The contents of your message
• Any other information you choose to provide

Please do not include sensitive personal information in a contact-form message unless it is genuinely necessary.

Contact-form submissions may be stored in the WordPress website database and delivered to our nominated email account. Fluent Forms automatically saves submitted entries in the WordPress administration area unless its storage settings are changed.

Technical website information

When you visit the website, some technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider or security systems. This may include:

• Your IP address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Approximate location
• Pages visited
• Date and time of access
• Referring website
• Server and security logs
• Information used to detect spam, misuse or malicious activity

This information is generally used to operate, protect and improve the website rather than to identify you personally.

How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

• Provide access to free classroom resources
• Send subscription confirmation and welcome emails
• Send teaching ideas, resource updates and occasional promotional emails where you have consented
• Respond to questions, feedback, resource requests or technical issues
• Manage email subscriptions and unsubscribe requests
• Maintain and secure the website
• Diagnose technical problems
• Improve website content, resources and communications
• Keep appropriate business and consent records
• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements
• Prevent fraud, spam or misuse of the website

Information submitted through the contact form will not automatically be added to the marketing email list. You will receive marketing or resource-update emails only where you have separately subscribed or otherwise provided appropriate consent.

Email subscriptions and marketing messages

Brontosaurus Learning uses MailerLite to manage email subscriptions, send free-resource access emails and deliver newsletters or resource updates.

When you subscribe, your name, email address and related subscription information may be transferred to and processed by MailerLite.

MailerLite may also process technical and engagement information using technologies such as cookies, unique identifiers and email tracking pixels. MailerLite acts as an email-service provider processing subscriber information on behalf of its customers.

You may unsubscribe at any time by:

• Clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of our emails; or
• Contacting us [email protected]

Unsubscribing will stop marketing and newsletter emails. It may not prevent essential replies to an enquiry you have sent or other communications that you have specifically requested.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites operate correctly and remember certain information.

This website may use:

• Essential WordPress and security cookies
• Cookies required for forms or website functionality
• Hosting and performance technologies
• MailerLite form and email-measurement technologies
• Cookies used to prevent spam or malicious activity

These technologies may collect information such as browser type, IP address, device details and interactions with the website or emails.

We do not currently use the website to create public user profiles or allow public comments.

We may use a website analytics provider to understand how visitors use the website. Analytics services may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the website, device type, approximate location and referral source. This information helps us understand which content is useful and improve the website. Where required, analytics cookies will be controlled through the website’s cookie-consent settings.

Public comments, accounts and user content

This website does not currently:

• Accept public comments
• Allow visitors to create member accounts
• Provide public profiles
• Allow visitors to upload resources or other public content
• Publish contact-form submissions

Information sent through a subscription or contact form is not displayed publicly.

If these features are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated before or when the relevant feature becomes available.

Third-party service providers

We use selected service providers to operate the website and communicate with subscribers. These may include:

MailerLite

MailerLite manages email subscriptions, automations and newsletters. It may receive your name, email address, subscription details and email-engagement information.

Fluent Forms

Fluent Forms processes website contact-form submissions. Form entries may be stored within the WordPress database and sent to our nominated email account.

WordPress

The website is built using WordPress and associated themes and plugins. WordPress software helps provide website content, forms, security and administrative functions.

Bluehost

Bluehost provides website hosting, domain-related services and infrastructure used to make the website available online.

Email and technology providers

We may use email, security, backup, content-delivery or technical-support providers where reasonably necessary to operate and protect the website.

These providers may process information only to the extent necessary to perform their services, comply with legal requirements or protect their systems.

We do not sell or rent subscriber or contact-form information to advertisers or unrelated third parties.

Overseas processing

Some of the technology providers used by Brontosaurus Learning operate or store information outside Australia.

As a result, personal information may be processed in countries including:

• The United States
• Ireland
• The Netherlands
• Germany
• Other countries in which our service providers or their approved subprocessors operate

MailerLite’s current data-processing documentation identifies European data-centre and subprocessors, including services located in the Netherlands and Germany, as well as corporate operations in Ireland or the United States depending on the customer’s location.

How long we retain information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

This may include:

• Keeping active subscriber information while you remain subscribed
• Retaining an unsubscribe or suppression record so that we do not accidentally add you back to the mailing list
• Keeping contact enquiries while they are being addressed and for a reasonable period afterwards
• Retaining records required for legal, security, taxation or business purposes
• Keeping technical logs for a limited period for website security and troubleshooting

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymised or securely archived.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access
• Misuse
• Interference
• Loss
• Alteration
• Unauthorised disclosure

Measures may include:

• Password-protected administrative access
• Secure website connections
• WordPress and plugin updates
• Hosting and security controls
• Restricted access to form submissions and subscriber records
• Backups and malware monitoring

No internet transmission, website or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

• Update your email address or name
• Withdraw your subscription consent
• Request deletion of information where appropriate

Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or where necessary to record an unsubscribe request, resolve a dispute or protect the security of the website.

Children’s privacy

Brontosaurus Learning creates educational resources for use by teachers, parents and other adults supporting children.

The website and its subscription forms are intended for adults. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information without appropriate adult permission, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

Links to other websites

The website may contain links to third-party websites, including:

• Teachers Pay Teachers
• MailerLite
• Social-media platforms
• External educational resources
• Future payment or product-delivery providers

Once you leave the Brontosaurus Learning website, the privacy practices of the external website apply. We are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of third-party websites.
