Alexandria’s World · For grown-ups

Privacy notice

A place for children to explore, with information choices in grown-up hands.

Updated October 23, 2026. This notice explains information handling on alexandriasworld.com. Alexandria’s World LLC operates this website. Questions or requests can be sent to alexandriasworld1234@gmail.com.

Exploring together

The globe, available books and lessons can be explored without creating an account. Please do not enter a child’s name, email, school, address, photographs or other identifying details into our adult signup form or email messages. We do not provide child accounts or a public posting board in these experiences.

Work saved on your device

Some experiences save reading progress, visited places or activity choices in your browser’s local storage. These remain on that browser and device. Clearing the site’s storage in your browser removes them. A downloaded picture or take-home belongs on your device; downloading it does not submit it to us.

Optional recording

Some lessons offer a record-and-play-back activity. Recording starts only after you choose it and allow microphone access in your browser. These lesson recordings stay in the page’s memory for local playback and are not uploaded to us. Closing or reloading the page clears them. An adult can decline microphone permission and use the speaking or non-recording activity instead.

Letters for grown-ups

The optional letters form is for adults using their own email address. It asks for a first name, email address, role, area of interest and an affirmative choice to receive Letters from Alexandria’s World. We record the signup date, page and version of the consent wording. We do not ask for children’s information or a birth date.

District writing program requests

The district information form asks for an adult’s name, email address, school, district or organization, role, and an optional grade group. It requires an affirmative choice to be contacted about the district writing program. We store those details with the request date, source page and consent wording version. Requesting program information does not enroll students or subscribe you to the general letters list. Please do not submit individual student names, work or other student information.

Where adult contact information goes

Adult signup and program-request records are kept on our hosting server outside the public website files. Authorized Alexandria’s World administration can access these records to respond to requests and manage the lists. Administration is handled through alexandriasworld1234@gmail.com. These forms save requests; they do not send an automatic email. We do not sell these contact lists. A newsletter delivery provider is not connected to these forms.

Stopping contact and requesting deletion

To stop program or newsletter contact, request access, correct your details or request deletion, email alexandriasworld1234@gmail.com from the address you used. We may ask you to confirm control of that address before disclosing or changing a record. Earlier waiting-list records are kept separately; you can also contact us about a previous entry.

Hosting, maps, fonts and embedded media

Loading a website involves technical requests such as your IP address, browser information and requested page. Our hosting services may keep operational and security logs. The site also loads resources from services that can receive this technical information, including Cesium and its map-imagery providers, OpenStreetMap map services, Google Fonts, and libraries delivered by CDNs such as jsDelivr, unpkg and cdnjs.

Some lessons offer embedded YouTube video. Playing third-party media connects to the provider and may involve its cookies, local storage and controls. Privacy-enhanced embedding does not eliminate every third-party data request. An adult should guide media use; lesson text and still-image alternatives support participation when media cannot play.

Grown-up reference and donation links lead to other services with their own privacy practices. We do not receive payment-card details entered on an external donation service. We do not add email-open tracking pixels to Letters from Alexandria’s World.

Children’s privacy

The email list is an adult service, separate from the child’s lesson activity. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate. A statement that a form is for adults is not a substitute for the protections required for children’s information.

Updates and contact

We will update this notice when information handling changes. The date above shows the current version. Contact alexandriasworld1234@gmail.com with questions, accessibility needs or privacy requests.
