Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

K12worX Education is a 501(c)(3) public charity working to close the K-12 math opportunity gap. This policy explains what this website collects, what it does not, and how to reach us about it. We have written it to say only true things about how the site actually works, rather than describing practices we do not have.

What this policy covers

This policy describes this website, at www.k12worx.org. Our lesson application at ccmath.k12worx.org is a separate service, and this policy does not describe it — it keeps its own privacy notice, and its practices differ from this site’s (it does use analytics and cookies). Our programs also collect information directly from families and schools, outside this website, as described below.

The short version

If you accept our cookie banner, this site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use it. It is off until you accept, and we have turned off the parts of it that build advertising profiles or cross-device audiences. We have no advertising, no tracking pixels, and no third-party analytics beyond Google Analytics. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use your information for advertising of any kind.

The only place the site asks you to type in personal information is the contact form.

What we collect

Information you give us

The contact form at /contact asks for your name, email address, subject, message, and — optionally — which kind of involvement you are writing about. We use it only to read and reply to what you sent. We do not add you to a mailing list.

Your message is delivered to us by email through Amazon Simple Email Service, which handles it in transit on our behalf, and arrives in our Google Workspace inbox. We use no third-party form-collection service; no one else stores your submission for us, though it may pass through our host’s server logs on its way to us.

Email. If you write to info@k12worx.org or finance@k12worx.org, we hold that correspondence as we would any email.

Donations are arranged by email. This website does not process payments and does not collect card or bank details on any page.

Information collected automatically

Our website is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs of requests made to it — including IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the time of the request. These logs exist for security and reliability. We do not use them to identify individual visitors, and we do not combine them with anything else.

We set no cookies of our own. The only cookies this site can set are Google’s — from Google Analytics, and only if you accept the cookie banner — described below.

Cookies and Google Analytics

A banner asks first-time visitors whether we may use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages get visited, roughly how, and how often. Nothing loads until you accept, and declining (or not responding) means no analytics cookie is set and no analytics data reaches Google from your visit.

If you accept, Google Analytics sets these cookies:

  • _ga — distinguishes visitors. Expires after 2 years.
  • _ga_<container-id> — persists session state for Google Analytics. Expires after 2 years.

Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses at all — the IP is used only momentarily to derive an approximate location (city-level or broader) and then discarded, never written to storage. We have additionally configured Google Analytics so that:

  • Google Signals is off — Analytics does not merge your visit into Google’s cross-device advertising data, and we do not build cross-device audiences.
  • Ad personalization signals are off — nothing from this site’s analytics is used for ad targeting or remarketing, by us or by Google.

We use the aggregate traffic data this gives us — how many people visit, which pages, roughly from where — to understand whether the site is reaching people and to improve it. We do not use it to identify you individually, and we have not connected it to the contact form or to any account.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser, which will show the banner again on your next visit. You can also block Google Analytics entirely with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Data Google Analytics has already recorded about past visits is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

Embedded video

A few pages embed a YouTube player so you can watch a sample lesson without leaving the site. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which does not set tracking cookies until you press play. Loading such a page still tells Google that a browser at your IP address requested the player, and pressing play hands the session to Google under its privacy policy. We receive nothing back — no view data, no identity, no report about you.

The typefaces this site uses are served from the site itself. No font request reaches Google.

Service providers

We keep this list short on purpose, and it is complete:

  • Vercel — hosts this website and keeps standard server logs.
  • Amazon Web Services (SES) — carries contact-form messages to our inbox.
  • Google Workspace — our email; it holds the messages you send us.
  • Google (YouTube) — serves the embedded video players.
  • Google Analytics — only if you accept the cookie banner; see above.

We have no other processors. None of them is permitted to use your information for their own purposes.

What we do not do

  • No Google Analytics unless you accept the cookie banner — and even then, no Google Signals and no ad personalization.
  • No advertising networks, retargeting, or tracking pixels.
  • No third-party scripts beyond the embedded YouTube players and the consent-gated Google Analytics named above.
  • No third-party form or survey services.
  • No sale, rental, or trade of personal information — ever, to anyone.
  • No profiling, scoring, or automated decision-making about visitors.

Children’s privacy

Our lessons are made for K-12 students, and we take this seriously.

This website is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. The contact form is intended for parents, teachers, school staff, and other adults. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through this site, write to info@k12worx.org and we will delete it promptly.

Our program activities involve students, and any information collected for those programs is gathered through those programs directly — with parental or school consent as applicable — and is not gathered through this website.

Google Analytics, described above, is consent-gated and collects no personal information — no name, no account, no identifier tied to a real person — so it does not raise a COPPA concern even on pages a student might browse. It only runs if someone accepts the banner.

Our video lessons on YouTube

We publish free math lessons to our YouTube channel, Animated Math Lessons: Common Core Edition (@AnimatedMathLessons).

We receive no personal information about viewers. We do not collect, request, or store data about anyone who watches a lesson, and we do not use YouTube’s data to build audiences or profiles.

We publish those lessons with our own software, which acts only on our own channel and keeps only the records we need to track what we have published — lesson identifiers, video URLs, and timestamps. It stores nothing about any viewer.

Lessons at grade 6 and below are marked “made for kids” on YouTube in line with our obligations under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). YouTube disables personalized advertising, comments, and several other features on videos marked this way.

Watching a video on YouTube means you are also using a Google service, governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not control that, and it applies whether or not you came from this site.

How long we keep things

Contact-form messages and email are kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to maintain the records a nonprofit is expected to keep. Server logs are retained by our host under their own retention schedule. Ask us to delete your correspondence and we will, unless a law requires us to keep it.

The _ga and _ga_<container-id> cookies, if you accept them, expire after 2 years or when you clear them, whichever comes first.

Your choices

Write to info@k12worx.org and ask us to tell you what personal information of yours we hold, correct it, or delete it. We will do so within a reasonable time. Because we collect so little, these requests are usually simple.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the GDPR. We honor those requests regardless of where you live — we do not think residency should decide whether you can ask us what we hold.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change is significant we will say so on the page rather than quietly revise it.
