When we transfer personal data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy and data rights. These safeguards may include:
Adequacy Decisions: Where applicable, we rely on the European Commission’s or UK Government’s adequacy decisions that confirm the receiving country provides an adequate level of data protection.

By using our Services, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of protection as your home country.

8. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements across jurisdictions in which we operate, including but not limited to the United States (including California and Florida), New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.
In determining appropriate data retention periods, we consider the:
Amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data

Legal requirements, including statutory retention periods and evidentiary obligations

Customer support communications may be kept for 2–3 years after resolution to ensure service continuity and compliance.

If you request to delete your data, we will follow the procedure outlined in Section 14: How You Can Review, Update or Delete the Data We Collect from You.
9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
We have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access.
These safeguards include but are not limited to:
Encryption of data in transit and at rest (e.g., SSL/TLS for website traffic, AES-256 for stored data)

Firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and prevent unauthorised access
Secure data centres with physical access restrictions
Regular audits, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing
Two-factor authentication (2FA) for access to administrative tools and payment systems
We also require our third-party service providers and partners (such as Stripe and PayPal) to use similar security measures and to comply with all relevant privacy laws and contractual obligations.
Despite our best efforts, no electronic transmission or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You acknowledge that by using our Services, you transmit your data at your own risk.
Your Responsibilities:
To help maintain the security of your information, we ask that you:
Keep your passwords confidential
Log out of your account when using shared devices
Use strong, unique passwords
Notify us immediately at legal@enbymeaning.com if you believe your data or our systems have been compromised

In Short: Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict how we use your personal information. We are committed to honouring all applicable legal rights and requests.
A. Submitting a Request
You may exercise your rights under applicable data protection laws by contacting us using one of the methods below. We will respond in accordance with the timeframes and procedures required by law:

12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
In Short: Most browsers and devices include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) setting. Currently, we do not respond to DNT signals, as no uniform standard exists.
Do Not Track (DNT):
Some web browsers and mobile operating systems include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature or setting you can activate to signal your preference that your online browsing activities not be tracked across different websites. At this time, no legally binding or commonly accepted standard for recognising and responding to DNT signals has been established.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
Global Privacy Control (GPC):
Where required by applicable law (e.g. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado Privacy Act, and other U.S. state laws), we recognise and honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. GPC is a browser or device-level signal that indicates a consumer's desire to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising.
When we detect a valid GPC signal from a supported browser or extension, we will treat it as a legally valid opt-out request from that browser or device for the relevant data processing purposes (e.g. targeted advertising or sale of data), to the extent required by law.
For more information on GPC and how to use it, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted in the future that we are required to follow, we will inform you in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
For more information about our use of cookies and tracking technologies and your control options, please see Section 6: Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies? and our Cookie Policy.
13. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY (COPPA, NZ, EU)
In Short: We do not knowingly collect, process, or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
United States (COPPA Compliance):
Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. Our Website and Services are not directed at or intended for children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at legal@enbymeaning.com, and we will take steps to remove the data promptly.
European Union (GDPR):
In accordance with Article 8 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we do not process personal data of children under the age of 16 without parental or guardian consent, unless a lower age threshold is set by the Member State (not below 13). If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without the appropriate consent, we will delete it as soon as reasonably practicable.
New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020):
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 unless we have obtained the express permission of a parent or legal guardian. Any such collection will be limited, proportionate, and used only for the express purpose for which consent was granted.
Parental Rights:
If you believe that your child has submitted personal data to us without your consent, you have the right to request access to that data and request its deletion. Please contact us at legal@enbymeaning.com with "Children’s Privacy Request" in the subject line.
14. ADVERTISING, AFFILIATE, AND SPONSORED CONTENT DISCLOSURES
In Short: We believe in transparency and ethical practice. Some content on our Website may include affiliate links, advertisements, or sponsored posts. These are clearly disclosed, and we only partner with brands that align with our values.
Affiliate Links: Some links on our Website may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you—if you click through and make a purchase. This helps support our work and maintain our platform. We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe in or have vetted.
Affiliate relationships include, but are not limited to, programs through:
Amazon Associates (U.S. and international)
Bookshop.org
ShareASale
Commission Junction

Other relevant ethical and/or LGBTQ+ supportive affiliate platforms
You will always know when a link is an affiliate link through either inline notation, an icon, or a disclosure statement at the top or bottom of the post.
Sponsored Content: Occasionally, we may collaborate with brands or organisations to feature sponsored content. Sponsored content is always marked clearly—typically at the top of the page—with a notice such as “This post is sponsored by…” or “In partnership with…”. We only accept sponsorships that align with our values of inclusivity, justice, accessibility, and ethical conduct.
Sponsored content does not influence our editorial integrity. All opinions expressed are our own unless explicitly stated.
Display Advertising: We may display ads on our Website from third-party advertising networks. These may be personalised or non-personalised depending on your privacy settings and jurisdiction. These networks may collect anonymised data via cookies or other tracking technologies to display ads tailored to your interests.

15. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING (IF APPLICABLE)
In Short: We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any profiling is limited, transparent, and based on consent or legitimate interest.
What This Means
Under certain privacy laws such as the EU and UK GDPR, individuals have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects or significantly affects them. Other jurisdictions, such as New Zealand and certain U.S. states (e.g., California, Colorado), provide similar or emerging protections.
Our Current Practices
At present, Enby Meaning:
Does not use any automated systems to make decisions that have legal or comparable significant effects on users.
May use limited forms of profiling (e.g., to deliver personalised content, advertising, or email recommendations) based on user interactions with our website, only where:
You have given explicit consent, or;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, or;
We rely on a legitimate interest, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
Profiling used for analytics or advertising purposes is non-intrusive and does not involve sensitive categories such as gender identity, race, health data, or religious beliefs without your clear consent.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
Object to profiling or automated processing
Request human intervention in decision-making
Receive an explanation of how such decisions are made
Contest the outcome of any automated decision
To exercise these rights or inquire whether a decision affecting you was made using automated processing, contact us at legal@enbymeaning.com.
