Privacy notice

This notice explains what happens to information when you visit elevatenpd.org. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past. If anything here is unclear, write to me and I will answer plainly.

The free tools keep your data on your device

Every interactive tool in the One-Page Series, including the Education Budget and Value Calculator, runs locally in your browser. The numbers, notes, and text you enter are saved to your own browser storage so your work is still there when you come back. That information is never transmitted to Elevate NPD, is not stored on any server, and cannot be seen by me.

Clearing your browser data will erase it. Use the export function inside each tool if you want a copy you control.

Micro-learning lessons

The micro-learning lessons also run in your browser. Your progress, quiz answers, ratings, the action plan you type, and the name you enter for your completion badge are saved to your own browser storage so you can pick up where you left off. Your badge image is created on your own device. That content is not sent to me. The analytics services described below do record that a lesson screen was viewed, that narration was played, that the knowledge check was completed and the score, that a badge was earned, downloaded, or shared, and that a plan or job aid was downloaded, without your name or the text you typed.

Micro-learning sign-up form

If you choose to sign up for micro-learning updates, the form collects your first name, email address, role, your consent, and which page you signed up from. Submissions are stored through Netlify, the company that hosts this site, under its own privacy policy. I use this information only to email you when new micro-lessons launch and to understand who the lessons are reaching. It is never sold or shared for advertising.

You can unsubscribe or ask me to delete your sign-up at any time by writing to the address at the bottom of this page.

Analytics and session recording

With your permission, this site uses two third-party services to understand how the site is used and where it can be improved. When you first visit, a cookie banner asks you to Accept or Decline. Neither service loads unless you choose Accept, and your choice is remembered in your browser. You can change it anytime with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page.

• Google Analytics 4 records aggregate information such as pages visited, approximate location by region, device and browser type, how you arrived at the site, and which files were downloaded.
• Microsoft Clarity records site usage, which includes session recordings of page activity such as mouse movement, scrolling, and clicks, along with heatmaps showing which parts of a page draw attention.

Both services set cookies or use similar browser storage, and both process data on their own infrastructure under their own privacy policies. Clarity is configured to mask form input by default, so text you type into fields is redacted in recordings rather than captured.

These services are used to improve the site. They are not used to build profiles for advertising, and no data collected here is sold.

What is never collected

This site does not ask for, and has no use for, protected health information. Do not enter patient names, medical record numbers, or any patient-identifiable information into any tool on this site. The tools are built for program and budget planning, not clinical documentation.

Where a tool includes a free-text field, use role descriptions rather than the names of real staff members.

How to opt out

You can decline analytics tracking in several ways:

• Choose Decline in the cookie banner, or change your cookie choice here.
• Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Use your browser's Do Not Track or tracking-prevention settings, or a content blocker.
• Block or clear cookies for this site in your browser settings.

The free tools work fully with analytics blocked. Nothing on this site requires tracking in order to function.

Email

If you email Elevate NPD, or submit a facility licensing inquiry, your message and address are used only to respond to you and to carry out the work you are asking about. Purchases made through Gumroad are handled by Gumroad under its own privacy policy, and payment details never pass through this site.

How I use AI

I use AI tools, primarily Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, to help draft, design, and build some of the content and tools on this site, including the micro-learning lessons, job aids, and completion badges. For the micro-learning lessons, AI also helps edit the narration audio, which I record in my own voice. I review, edit, and fact-check everything before it is published, and the clinical expertise behind every resource is my own.

No AI chatbot or AI service runs on this site. What you type into the free tools and lessons stays in your browser, and sign-up form submissions are not entered into AI tools.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information is held about you, to request its deletion, or to object to its processing. Send that request to the address below and I will act on it. Because the tools and lessons store nothing on my end, most such requests concern analytics data or a micro-learning sign-up. I can delete a sign-up directly and can ask the relevant analytics service to remove analytics data.

Changes to this notice

If the way this site handles information changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. Material changes will be noted here rather than made quietly.
