SCAN publishes field notes and learning resources. Reading them requires no reader account. The website is not a participant register, grant application system or certification database.
Keep field records out of the inbox
Our form accepts an editorial message, a reply email and an optional name. These are kept in SCAN’s private WordPress database for review by the site editor. They are not published or automatically passed to an outside mailbox or marketing service. If a reply is sent, it is handled manually.
Please describe an issue without identifying learners, sharing financial statements or including sensitive farm or household records. An article example is not an invitation to submit a real participant’s file.
How long correspondence remains
A daily scheduled WordPress cleanup deletes inbox entries once they are older than 90 days. Execution depends on the site’s scheduled tasks, so the threshold is not a guarantee of deletion at an exact hour. A separate one-hour hashed network identifier helps restrict repeated form submissions.
For an earlier deletion request, use the editorial form and identify the message to remove. The administrator can delete it from the inbox.
Delivery systems and source links
Hosting and security systems may log connection details such as IP addresses, page requests and browser information. Those records are distinct from the one-hour form limiter. When you follow a source link to a training body, archive or research publisher, that service’s privacy practices govern the visit.
