Simply put: the information we collect is only used to help us help you.
This site is built privacy-first and designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): no tracking cookies, no analytics, no data sold — ever. We collect only what you choose to send us.
Simply put: the information we collect is only used to help us help you. We are a privacy-focused organization, and we respect yours. We will never sell your data, and your information is never used outside our company. Not by advertisers, not by data brokers, not by anyone — period. Information you share with us stays with Gary D. Soto Consulting, Inc. and is used for one purpose: responding to you.
This website collects no personal information automatically. There are no contact forms, no accounts, no sign-ups, and no payment processing on this site.
We collect only what you choose to give us:
That is the full list. If we ever add a way to collect anything else — a contact form, for example, or an email list — we will revise this statement before that change goes live, so what you read here always describes exactly what we do.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.
This website sets no cookies — not even so-called "necessary" ones. It uses no analytics service, no advertising tags, no social-media buttons, and no cross-site tracking of any kind.
The typefaces on this site are hosted on our own domain rather than loaded from a font service. When you view our pages, your browser requests files only from garydsoto.com — no third-party service learns that you visited.
Like every website, ours runs on a hosting provider's servers, and email you send us travels through our email provider. These providers act on our instructions, process information only as needed to provide their service to us, and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes.
In plain terms: our hosting provider keeps standard server logs — the kind every web server records, showing the address a request came from, the time, and the page requested. These logs exist for security and to keep the site running. We do not use them to identify or track visitors, and they are retained only for the provider's routine period before being deleted.
You may ask us at any time to:
Email gdsinfo@garydsoto.com and we will respond within 30 days. There is no charge, and we will never treat you differently for asking.
California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and residents of the European Union and United Kingdom have them under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We extend the same courtesy to everyone, regardless of where you live. For the record, and as the CCPA asks us to say plainly: we do not sell or share personal information.
This website is intended for school and district leaders and other adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
While we're stating what we stand for: we fully respect and enforce diversity in every way, as a company standard. We only believe in one race — the human race. That commitment applies to how we treat everyone we work with — visitors to this site included.
If this statement changes, we will post the updated version here with a new effective date and revision number. We will not weaken the commitments above without saying so plainly.
