1. Introduction

Welcome to NeurodiverseNights (the "Website"), accessible at `neurodiversenights.aibuilt4.fun` and `neurodiversenights.com`. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Website includes:

a) Personal Data

  • Contact Form: Personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, subject, and message content, that you voluntarily give to us when you use the contact form on the Website.
  • Newsletter Subscription: Your email address, which you voluntarily provide when you subscribe to our newsletter via the signup form in the footer. Additional technical information (like IP address, subscription time, browser/device type) may be collected automatically by our email service provider (Brevo) as part of the signup process.

b) Derivative Data (Usage Data)

Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Website, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Website. This information is generally anonymous and aggregated but could potentially be linked back to you.

c) Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and other tracking technologies on the Website to help customize the site and improve your experience. See Section 4 for more details.

3. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Website to:

  • Respond to your comments, questions, and provide user support via the contact form.
  • Send you periodic newsletters containing updates about new episodes, blog posts, resources, or other relevant NeurodiverseNights information, if you have subscribed.
  • Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Website.
  • Maintain the security and operation of our Website, including preventing fraudulent transactions and abuse (e.g., spam detection via contact form).
  • Compile anonymous statistical data and analysis for internal use or for use by our email service provider (e.g., open rates, click rates).

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A "cookie" is a small text file stored on your device. We may use cookies and potentially other tracking technologies (like web beacons or pixels) on the Website to:

  • Understand site usage and improve content and offerings.
  • Ensure the proper functioning of the Website.
  • Potentially gather analytics data (typically anonymized).

Our third-party service providers (like Brevo for newsletters, YouTube for embeds) and links to third-party sites may also use cookies. Please refer to their respective privacy policies (see Section 10).

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Website.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as described below:

  • With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. This includes:
    • Website hosting providers.
    • Email delivery services for contact form processing and newsletter distribution (currently Brevo). Brevo processes your email address and related subscription data according to their policies.
    These providers are obligated to protect your data according to applicable regulations and their own privacy policies.
  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Third-Party Embeds/Links: Interactions with embedded content (like YouTube players) or clicks on links to third-party sites (social media, stores) are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not control or share your contact form or newsletter data directly with these specific linked entities through the act of linking or embedding alone.

We will **not** sell your Personal Data.

6. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. Our third-party service providers (like Brevo) also employ security measures to protect the data they process. However, please be aware that despite our efforts and those of our providers, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

  • Contact form submissions may be kept until the inquiry is resolved or for a reasonable period afterward for follow-up, unless required otherwise by law.
  • Newsletter subscription data (your email address) is retained as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in every newsletter email, which will trigger the removal process within our email service provider's system (Brevo).
  • Usage Data (like server logs) is typically kept for a limited period for security and analysis purposes.

8. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., European Economic Area, California, Australia), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
  • Request erasure of your personal data (including unsubscribing from the newsletter).
  • Object to processing of your personal data (e.g., for direct marketing like newsletters).
  • Request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (data portability).
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent to process your personal data (like newsletter subscriptions).
  • Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority (e.g., the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner).

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each email. For other requests regarding your data rights, please contact us using the contact details below. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests, and certain rights may be limited by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Website and services, including the newsletter, are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions like the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a user under the specified age, we will delete such information from our records.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website contains links to third-party websites and services, including social media platforms, online stores, embedded content (YouTube videos), and our newsletter service provider (Brevo). These third-party sites and services have separate and independent privacy policies.

We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites or embedded services. When you click on a third-party link, interact with embedded content, or subscribe via the newsletter form, you may be subject to that third party's terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit, including Brevo's Privacy Policy which governs data collected through the newsletter signup: Brevo Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
