If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information under one or more of the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  1. Consent:
    Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to our marketing emails or providing sensitive data).

  2. Contractual Necessity:
    Where processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you (e.g., when you purchase a course) or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

  3. Legitimate Interests:
    Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests (e.g., improving our Services, preventing fraud) except where such interests are overridden by your data protection rights and interests.

  4. Legal Obligation:
    Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation under applicable law.

5. Sensitive Data

Due to the nature of our Services, some of the information you share with us (e.g., your sexual orientation or personal preferences) may qualify as “special category” or sensitive data under the GDPR. We only collect such data with your explicit consent and use it strictly for providing the requested service (e.g., to offer personalized coaching or content). You are never required to provide such information if you do not wish to. If you do choose to provide it, we treat it with additional care and safeguards.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosures

  1. With Your Consent:
    We may share your information with third parties if you have provided consent for a specific purpose (e.g., posting a video testimonial on our website).

  2. Service Providers:
    We use third-party companies (e.g., Kajabi, ActiveCampaign, payment processors) to help us operate, maintain, and provide our Services. These third parties have access to personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

  3. Legal Requirements:
    KinkConsciousness may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

  4. Business Transfers:
    In the event we undergo reorganization, merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

  5. No “Sale” of Data (CCPA/CPRA):
    We do not sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. We also do not share your personal data for cross-contextual behavioral advertising as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). If you have any questions about our practices or would like to learn more about your rights under California law, please contact us at admin@kinkconsciousness.com.

7. International Data Transfers

We are based in Canada, and your personal information may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States or other countries in which our third-party service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

  • Transfers from the EEA/UK:
    If you are located in the EEA or the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms recognized by the European Commission) are in place to protect your data when it is transferred outside the EEA/UK.

By using our Services, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to facilities located outside of your home country and that these facilities may be subject to different data protection standards than those in your jurisdiction.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and deliver personalized ads (where applicable). A “cookie” is a small text file that websites store on your device to keep track of your preferences and recognize you on return visits.

    • Analytics Cookies: Allow us to understand how users interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics).

    • Marketing/Advertising Cookies: Help us track ad performance and show relevant ads (if applicable).

  • California Residents (CCPA/CPRA):
    You have additional rights including the right to know, delete, or correct specific personal information, as well as the right to opt out of the sale/sharing of personal data. Since we do not sell or share personal information as defined by CCPA/CPRA, these rights apply primarily to accessing, correcting, or deleting your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at admin@kinkconsciousness.com. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have collected personal information from a minor without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately at admin@kinkconsciousness.com, and we will take steps to delete such data promptly.

11. Security Measures

KinkConsciousness recognizes that users are concerned about data security. We are continuously reviewing and enhancing our technical, physical, and managerial procedures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, and/or destruction. For example, we use industry-standard TLS encryption to secure data in transit.

However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

12. Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In most cases, this means we will retain your information as long as you have an active account or continue to use our Services. We may also retain certain data for a reasonable period after you stop using our Services if we believe you might resume use, or as required by law. For prospect data, we typically retain your information for up to 3 years from receipt, subject to your right to unsubscribe or request erasure at any time.

13. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay and, when required by law, notify you as well. We take steps to remediate the breach and mitigate any potential harm.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on our website and update the “Effective Date” at the top. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our site. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed of any updates.
