Privacy Policy

Last updated October 26, 2026.

Blog subscriptions and free resources

When you subscribe or unlock the free resource library, you provide your name and email address and consent to receive COMMON SENSE every Friday. Brevo manages the Friday Blog mailing list and email delivery. The website also keeps a record of the signup, consent date, and email preferences. Website records are an audit trail; Brevo controls the mailing audience and suppression status.

Remembering resource access

After signup, an essential, secure cookie named resource_access remembers access to the free resource library on your browser for one year. It contains a random access token rather than your name or email. Downloads check this token against the signup record. Clearing cookies or using another browser requires entering your details again. Unsubscribing from the blog does not remove previously granted resource access; contact us if you want your signup record and access deleted.

Feedback and speaking inquiries

The feedback form collects your message and, if you choose to provide it, your email address. The speaking form collects your name, email, organization, preferred date, audience size, topic, format, and any notes you provide. These details are sent through Brevo to Robin’s email inbox to respond to your request. These forms do not subscribe you to marketing emails. Please do not include confidential student, employee, or other sensitive personal information.

Service providers and security

This website uses Sites hosting and Cloudflare infrastructure to serve pages, store signup records, and protect the site. Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, and security logs. Its bot-protection cookie, __cf_bm, may be set to distinguish automated traffic from human visitors. It is used for security, not as the blog subscription record. Cloudflare’s cookie information. Brevo processes contact details and email messages for subscriptions and form delivery. Brevo’s privacy information.

Your choices

Use the unsubscribe link in any blog email to stop marketing messages. Website email-preference links also submit unsubscribe requests to Brevo. If a request fails, contact robin@robinnetherton.com. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you supplied. Limited records may be retained to honor unsubscribe requests, prevent abuse, and document consent.

External links and purchases

Book purchases are handled by Teachers Pay Teachers or the linked seller. Social networks, sponsor sites, and other external services have their own privacy policies. Following an external link may share technical information with that service.
