Information we collect
- Information you submit: when an adult fills in a form (starter kit, newsletter, school request, donation pledge, contest, careers, advertising or contact), we receive the details entered, such as name, email and message.
- Anonymous questions: our question box does not ask for a name or email. Please do not include personal details.
- Automatically collected data: like most websites, our host and advertising partners may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed and cookies.
- On-device tools: the period predictor, kit builder and other tools run in your browser. Data you enter is not sent to us; some tools save preferences in your browser's local storage, which you can clear at any time.
How we use information
- To send resources you request and reply to enquiries.
- To send our newsletter if you subscribe (unsubscribe any time).
- To improve the site and keep it secure.
- We never sell personal information.
Form processing
Form submissions are delivered to our team using FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), a third-party form-delivery service, which processes submissions under its own privacy policy.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Embedded content
Videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode and load only when you press play. Once played, YouTube may set cookies under Google's privacy policy.
Children's privacy
Our content is written for teens aged 13 and older, parents and educators. The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. All forms that collect contact details require confirmation that the person is 18 or older. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or PIPEDA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict use of your personal information, and to object to processing. Contact us to make a request. We respond within the time required by law.
Data retention & security
We keep submitted information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected and use reasonable safeguards. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States.
