Here's how I manage your privacy and data at An ka taa:

Simple Summary

  • I use both Squarespace and Google Analytics tools to collect information about how you use my website: pages visited, search terms, clicks, etc.

  • If you contact me via the contact form or via email, I will have your email and any information that you provide.
  • I have an opt-in mailing list that I manage with Mailchimp.
  • If you donate to An ka taa via the Tip Jar, I collect your contact and payment information.
  • If you become a patron of An ka taa, you do so via Patreon, which will collect your contact and payment information.
  • I also embed some stuff in my website like interactive flashcards hosted by Quizlet, videos hosted by YouTube and quizzes hosted by Learnclick.
  • You can contact me and I will delete your data.
