Access to your information
All the data we hold about you is immediately accessible to you by logging in to eChalk using your administrator's log in details. Here you can amend your data and make sure that it is accurate and up to date.
Cookies
eChalk requires 'cookies' in order to work. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and they are an essential requirement to keep you logged into the site once you have been authenticated. We only store the minimum amount of data required to run our service. We do not use cookies to collect any personal data or track visitor behaviour on the site because that's your business and we don't need to know that in order to provide the service.
Site analytics
We use Google Analytics for anonymized website traffic analysis. To do this Google places a cookie with a randomly-generated ClientID in your browser. The cookie expires as soon as you leave eChalk (i.e. it is a session cookie) so can only be used for eChalk traffic analysis. This ClientID is anonymized and contains no identifiable information like email, phone number, name, IP number etc. We use Google analytics to discover how our resources are used, for example which resources are popular and which ones are not. This information is important as it helps to direct future development of the site content and improve the user experience.

Our website may occasionally provide links to other esteemed websites such as BBC bitesize. This privacy policy only applies to this website so when you link to other websites it will be their privacy policy that applies.
