Why We Collect Information
You deserve better educational content to help you administer, teach, and parent. Here at Novak Educational Consulting, we aim to deliver that kind of content. In order to provide you with the best possible online experience and deliver high-quality, relevant articles, tools, and videos, we need to collect information and take a close look at where our users spend their time on our site and how they interact with our site and emails.
We also understand that life is busy and sometimes it’s hard to remember to regularly check out our content. For this reason, users may opt in to receive information from us via email or may automatically be opted in by signing up for a course, course preview, or newsletter, blog, webinar, or other product.
What Information We Collect

Submitting this information is completely voluntary and you may opt out of receiving emails at any time by following the instructions in your email. At the conclusion of an online course or webinar, we may also ask you to review the product or service you participated in.
