Privacy
What this site collects
Very little, and none of it by us. This page says exactly what happens when you open a page here.
We do not collect anything
This site has no accounts, no forms, no newsletter, no analytics, and no advertising. It sets no cookies of its own. The one thing it keeps in your browser is your choice of light or dark theme, if you make one, so the next page opens the way you left it; that setting stays on your device and is never sent to us. There is nothing here for you to log into and nothing for us to look up about you afterwards.
Every link that asks you to get in touch opens your own email program or your phone. We only know you contacted us because you chose to.
Two things do reach outside this site
Both are ordinary parts of how the site is built, and both mean your browser contacts a company other than us.
- Fonts. The typefaces come from Google Fonts. Your browser asks Google for them, which tells Google your IP address and which page requested them.
- Video. The three conference films on the home page are on YouTube, and each one loads only after you press play on it. YouTube then receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. We use the
youtube-nocookie.comaddress, which reduces what is stored, but it does not remove the connection. The short film behind the heading is not from YouTube: it is a file on this site, so playing it contacts no one else.
What Google and YouTube do with that is covered by their policies, not by this page.
Server logs
The company that hosts this site keeps ordinary web server records of requests, in the way every web host does. That includes IP addresses. We do not use those records to build a picture of anyone, and we do not combine them with anything else.
Pages we link to
We link to YouTube, Canva, Google Forms, Morgan State University, and the sites of our partners. Once you follow a link, you are on their site under their rules. We have no control over what they collect.
How this page relates to the university
EDAC is a center of Morgan State University. The university publishes its own privacy statement, which by its own terms covers morgan.edu and two other university domains. Because it does not name this one, this page is here to describe this site specifically. Where the university's policies govern something, they govern it, and they are linked in the footer of every page.
Changes and questions
If what this site does changes, this page changes with it. If something here is unclear or you want to know what we hold about you, which should be nothing, write to us.
