At tpthubguide.com, we keep data collection to a minimum and explain plainly what we do collect. This page covers what information we gather, why, who else receives it, and the choices you have. It also sets out the Terms of Service for using this site and its interactive tools. For privacy questions or data removal requests, use our Contact page.
Part A: Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
TPTHubGuide.com ("we," "us") is an independent website about Teachers Pay Teachers. You can reach us through our Contact page.
2. Information we collect
- Basic visit data. Like nearly every website, our hosting server automatically records technical details of each visit: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the referring page and the time of the visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies may be set by our analytics and advertising partners (see section 5). WordPress may also set cookies if you leave a comment.
- Browser storage. If you close the notice bar at the top of the page, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage. It stays on your device and is never sent to us.
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. If you leave a comment, we receive the name, email and text you enter.
3. Our interactive tools don't send us your numbers
The profit calculator, license estimator, keyword generator, quality auditor and checklists run entirely inside your browser. The prices, quantities and answers you enter are not sent to our server and are not stored by us. Close the page and they're gone.
4. How we use information
- To run, secure and fix the website
- To understand which pages are useful, using aggregated statistics
- To show advertising that helps pay for the site, if advertising is enabled
- To reply to your emails and moderate comments
- To meet legal obligations
5. Analytics and advertising partners
We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to measure traffic and Google AdSense to show ads. These providers may set their own cookies and collect visit data under their own privacy policies.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and from many other ad networks at aboutads.info.
6. Sharing and selling
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we never sell email addresses. We share information only:
- With service providers that run the site for us (hosting, analytics, advertising, email), as described above
- When the law requires it, or to protect the site and its users from fraud or abuse
Some US state laws treat cookie-based advertising as "selling" or "sharing" personal information. You can opt out of it by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser, using the opt-out links in section 5, or emailing us.
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and other US states, or the EU and UK, you may have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or delete it
- Opt out of targeted advertising
- Not be treated differently for using these rights
To make a request, use our Contact page and choose "Privacy or data request" as the topic. We'll reply within 45 days. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
8. Children
This site is written for adults: teachers, parents and school staff. It is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.
9. Security and retention
The site is served over HTTPS, which encrypts the connection between your browser and our server. No method of storing or sending data online is completely secure, so we keep only what we need. Emails are kept as long as needed to answer them and handle any follow-up; server logs are kept for a limited time by our host.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top.
Part B: Terms of Service
1. Agreement
By using tpthubguide.com, including its calculators, estimators and checklists, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
2. Information only
Everything on this site is general information about Teachers Pay Teachers. It is not legal, tax or financial advice. See our Disclaimer for details.
3. Interactive tools
Our tools give estimates based on published TPT fee rules and the numbers you enter. They may not match your actual results. You're responsible for confirming figures on TPT before making decisions.
4. Our content
The articles, tool designs and graphics on this site are owned by TPTHubGuide.com unless noted otherwise. You're welcome to link to any page and quote short passages with credit. Please don't copy whole articles or republish our tools elsewhere without written permission.
5. Comments and submissions
If you post a comment or send us a suggestion, keep it respectful and on topic. We may edit or remove comments that are spam, abusive or off topic. By sending us a correction or idea, you allow us to use it to improve the site.
6. Third-party sites and trademarks
We link to outside websites, including TPT, for reference. We aren't responsible for their content or policies. Teachers Pay Teachers, TPT and Easel by TPT are trademarks of their owners; we are not affiliated with them.
7. No warranties
The site is provided "as is." We work to keep it accurate and available, but we don't guarantee that every page is complete, current or free of errors, or that the site will always be online.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, TPTHubGuide.com is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content or tools.
