We collect personal information only when you provide it to us directly, or when it is generated automatically through your use of this website. The types of information we may collect include:

• Email addresses — when you sign up for our email list, download a resource, or enroll in a course.

• Contact information — such as your name, if you contact us directly by email.

The information we collect is used only for the purposes for which it was provided, or for purposes consistent with those reasons. Specifically, we use your information to:
