Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
The short version: this website doesn't ask for or store your personal information. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, and we don't track you across other sites.
Who we are
Cloud in Plain English is an independent education project run from Sydney, Australia. It explains cloud computing in simple language through short videos on Instagram and YouTube and on this website. In this policy, "we" means the person who runs Cloud in Plain English.
What we collect on this website
Nothing you type in. The email boxes on the home page are not connected yet, so anything entered there is not sent or saved anywhere. If we start an email list, we will update this policy first and only add you if you sign up.
Like every website, our hosting provider, Cloudflare, automatically processes basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the page you asked for. Cloudflare uses this to deliver the page and protect it from attacks. We don't use it to identify you. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy.
We don't use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
Instagram and YouTube
When you watch, like, comment on or follow our videos, that happens on Instagram or YouTube, under their own privacy policies:
Those platforms may show us totals such as views, likes and follower counts. We use these numbers only to see which videos are helpful.
Our posting tools and Google / Meta data
We use small automated tools that we built ourselves to upload our own videos to our own Instagram account and our own YouTube channel. They use the Instagram Graph API and the YouTube Data API.
- These tools only access the Cloud in Plain English accounts that we own and have signed in to.
- They do not access, collect or store information about viewers or any other Google, YouTube, Facebook or Instagram users.
- The access keys they use are kept privately and are never shared, sold or used for anything other than publishing our own videos.
- Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
You can remove any app's access to your own Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
If you contact us
If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply, and we delete it when it's no longer needed.
Your rights
We aim to handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing us. If you're not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Children
Our content is for a general audience and isn't aimed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
