Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Overview
Beyond GDP (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a free, open educational resource. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to operate this site:
- Usage data: Anonymous analytics such as page views, referral sources, and general geographic region (country level). We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
- Suggestion submissions: If you use the “Suggest a Resource” form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (article title, URL, author name, and your message). This data is used solely to review and potentially add resources to our library.
- Cookies: We may use essential cookies to ensure the site functions correctly. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
- Review resource suggestions submitted via the suggestion form
- Ensure the technical operation and security of the site
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services (such as analytics providers) that collect anonymised usage data. These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. We do not use advertising networks or social media tracking pixels.
5. Data Retention
Anonymous analytics data is retained in accordance with the policies of our analytics provider. Suggestion form submissions are reviewed and then deleted once processed.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection law (such as GDPR or CCPA) including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Because we collect very little personal data, most requests can be fulfilled promptly.
7. External Links
Beyond GDP links to many external articles, reports, and resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
