Our Privacy Policy Overview

At Neuroviax Academy, your privacy is paramount. This **Privacy Policy** details how we collect, use, and protect your personal information on our website. It also outlines your rights concerning your data and how we handle third-party services.

Comments and Your Data Privacy

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string from your email (a hash) may go to the Gravatar service. This helps us see if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) becomes visible to the public with your comment.

Media Uploads and Data Privacy

If you upload images to the website (e.g., as part of a user profile or comment, if enabled), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Interactive Tools Data Handling and Privacy

Neuroviax Academy offers interactive web tools. They help you practice psychological techniques and enhance personal growth. These tools prioritize your privacy:

• Local Storage Only: Data generated during tool use (e.g., practice exercises, progress) processes and stores exclusively within your web browser’s local storage or cookies on your device.
• No Server-Side Collection: We do not collect, store, or access this specific data from our servers. Your interactions and progress within these tools remain private to you on your device.
• User Control: Data stores locally on your browser. You have full control. Clearing your browser’s cookies, cache, or local storage typically deletes any data saved by these tools.

This approach ensures your personal practice and sensitive information within these tools stay confidential. We do not transfer or store this data on our servers.

Cookies and Your Privacy

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies. They track website activity and hold certain information. Cookies are small data files. They may include an anonymous unique identifier. Websites send cookies to your browser. Your device stores them.

We use different types of cookies:

• Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities like security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
• Preference Cookies: We use these to remember your preferences and various settings (e.g., language choice).
• Analytics Cookies: These collect information about your website interactions. Examples include pages you visit, time spent, and links you click. This helps us understand and improve website performance. We use Google Analytics for this.
• Advertising Cookies: These deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They also limit ad views and help measure campaign effectiveness. We use Google AdSense for this.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies. You can also tell it to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not use some portions of our Service.

Embedded Content and Your Data Privacy

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites acts exactly as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties without advance notice to users. This excludes website hosting partners and other parties assisting us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users. These parties must agree to keep this information confidential.

However, we may share your data with:

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your data if the law requires it or in response to valid public authority requests (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Service Providers: We employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our website operations. They provide services on our behalf, perform website-related services, or assist us in analyzing website usage. These third parties access your Personal Information only for these tasks. They are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Google Services: Our “Third-Party Services” section details data sharing with Google. This includes Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics for web traffic analysis. Google handles this data according to its privacy policies.
• Udemy: When you click on links to our Udemy courses, Udemy directly manages your interaction and subsequent data collection. We do not directly receive your payment or detailed course progress data from Udemy. They act as a third-party platform for course sales and hosting.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Privacy Policy. We also retain it as required by law (e.g., for accounting or legal obligations).

• For Users with Accounts: If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments. They do not enter a moderation queue. If you register on our website (e.g., for future paid tools or exclusive content), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time (they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
• For Subscribers: We retain email addresses collected for newsletters until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• For Website Visitors (Non-Personal Data & Cookies): Non-personal data from analytics and cookies retains for periods defined by service providers (e.g., Google Analytics retention policies) or until your browser settings clear them.

When we no longer need your personal data, we securely delete or anonymize it.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

You have specific rights regarding your personal information. We commit to upholding these rights:

• The Right to Access: You can request access to your personal data that we hold. You can also receive a copy of that data.
• The Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• The Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”): You can request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions. For example, if the data is no longer necessary for its collection purposes.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we restrict personal data processing under certain conditions.
• The Right to Object to Processing: You can object to our personal data processing under certain conditions.
• The Right to Data Portability: You can request that we transfer collected data to another organization or directly to you. This happens under certain conditions.
• The Right to Withdraw Consent: If our personal data processing relies on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing before your withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below. We will respond promptly and according to applicable laws.

Where Your Data is Sent and Processed

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

In operating our website, we may use third-party service providers. Examples include hosting providers, analytics providers like Google Analytics, and advertising partners like Google AdSense. They may process or store your data in different locations, including outside your country or region. We ensure data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws. Adequate safeguards protect your information.

When you interact with embedded content or external links (e.g., Udemy for courses), those third-party services directly process your data. Their respective privacy policies apply.
