NewIdeas.net is an educational resource about ADHD and anxiety. We take your privacy seriously — which is why the short version of this policy is: we do not collect, store, or sell your personal information.
What We Do Not Collect
Our interactive tools — the ADHD Type Quiz, GAD-7 Anxiety Screener, Adult ADHD Screen, Breathing Exercises, Digit Span, Stroop Test, Focus Timer, and Grounding Exercise — all run entirely in your browser. No quiz answers, screening responses, or results are transmitted to any server. Nothing is stored. We do not know what score you received or which ADHD type the quiz selected for you. That information stays on your device and disappears when you close the tab.
We do not require an account, login, or email address to use any feature on this site.
What Our Web Host May Collect
NewIdeas.net is hosted on a shared hosting server. Like all web servers, it generates standard server logs when pages are requested. These logs may include your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the page requested. These logs are used for server maintenance and security only. We do not use them for advertising, profiling, or marketing.
Google Fonts
This site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser requests the font file, Google's servers receive your IP address as part of a standard web request. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
No Advertising. No Tracking Pixels. No Third-Party Scripts.
We do not run advertising of any kind on this site. We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or any behavioral remarketing technology. We do not embed third-party social widgets that track your movement across the web.
Analytics
This site does not currently run any analytics platform. If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-first tool (such as Plausible Analytics) that does not use cookies, does not track individuals across sessions, and does not sell data to third parties. This policy will be updated at that time.
Children
NewIdeas.net does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Our tools and content are intended to be used by parents, educators, and adults on behalf of children — not by children entering personal data directly. If you believe a child has provided information to this site, please contact us so we can address it.
External Links
Some articles link to external resources, research papers, or affiliate products. Once you leave NewIdeas.net, this privacy policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.
Affiliate Disclosures
Some pages on this site include affiliate links to products Dr. Cowan has evaluated and recommends. If you purchase through one of those links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are always disclosed.
Contact
If you have questions about this policy or about how your data is handled, contact Dr. Douglas Cowan at Doug@DouglasCowan.me or call (661) 972-5953.
This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
