Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, how DTPAI approaches information that may be received through DTPAI.org.
Information You Choose to Provide
DTPAI may receive information that a visitor voluntarily submits through an available contact method, such as a name, email address, message, question, or other information the visitor chooses to include.
Visitors should avoid sending highly sensitive personal records or confidential professional information unless DTPAI has specifically provided an appropriate method and reason for doing so.
Contact Communications
When you contact DTPAI, the information you provide may be used to read, route, respond to, document, or follow up on your communication and to support ordinary institutional administration.
Technical Website Information
DTPAI.org depends on web-hosting and internet infrastructure that may process technical information needed to deliver pages, maintain security, diagnose errors, or operate the site.
DTPAI.org currently uses Google Site Kit to connect Google services including Search Console, Analytics, and PageSpeed Insights. These services may process technical and usage information such as device, browser, page, referral, and interaction data in accordance with their applicable terms and privacy practices. DTPAI also uses Akismet to help screen article comments for spam.
The technologies used on DTPAI.org may change as site functions evolve. DTPAI reviews this policy when material website, analytics, communication, security, or comment-processing practices change.
How Information May Be Used
Information actually received by DTPAI may be used for legitimate institutional purposes such as responding to inquiries, operating and securing the website, maintaining records reasonably needed for administration, improving educational information, addressing accessibility or technical reports, and complying with applicable legal obligations.
Sharing and Disclosure
DTPAI does not treat a visitor’s voluntary contact information as something to disclose without a reason. Information may be handled by service providers that support website or communication operations, or disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, or respond to a valid legal process.
This policy does not authorize the sale of visitor information. If DTPAI’s practices materially change, this policy should be updated before the new practice is represented to visitors.
Data Retention
DTPAI should retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received, ordinary institutional records, security, dispute resolution, or applicable legal requirements. Final retention periods, if any are technically or operationally fixed, require implementation verification.
Security
DTPAI intends to use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to its website operations. No website, email system, hosting environment, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitor Choices
You may choose not to submit information through DTPAI.org. If you previously contacted DTPAI and have a question about information you provided, you may use the DTPAI Contact page to request assistance. DTPAI will respond consistent with applicable law and its ability to verify and locate the information.
Article Comments and Anti-Spam Processing
When you submit a comment on a DTPAI Personal Advocacy Article, DTPAI receives the information entered in the comment form, which may include your name, email address, website address, comment text, and technical information associated with the submission. Your email address is not displayed publicly.
Comments are moderated before publication. DTPAI uses Akismet anti-spam technology to help identify unwanted or automated comments. Information submitted through the comment form may be processed for spam detection. Please do not include highly sensitive personal information or private information about another person in a public comment.
For the rules governing public participation, see the DTPAI Comment Policy.
External Websites
External websites linked from DTPAI.org operate under their own privacy practices and terms. DTPAI’s Privacy Policy does not control information you provide directly to an outside website.
Children’s Privacy
DTPAI.org is a general educational website and is not designed as a service for collecting personal information directly from children under 13. If DTPAI learns that personal information from a child under 13 was submitted in a manner that requires action under applicable law, DTPAI should take appropriate steps to address it.
Policy Changes
DTPAI may update this Privacy Policy when website functions or information practices change. Material changes should be reflected in the posted policy and its effective date.
Privacy Questions
Privacy-related questions may be submitted through the DTPAI Contact page .
Final Site-Wide Verification Still Applies
Current protective-page evidence is specific to the inspected implementation. The final privacy determination must be based on the complete assembled Release 1 website, including any technologies introduced through public pages, forms, embeds, analytics, storage, security tools, or other functionality before publication.
