From time to time, Step2c Educations may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Step2c Educations also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://step2c.com/ blog posts. Step2c Educations only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Certain visitors to Step2c Educations’s websites choose to interact with Step2c Educations in ways that require Step2c Educations to gather personally-identifying information.

We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.
