Effective date: August 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Neuroverse website (“the site,” “we,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information. The site is operated by author Shawn Boley and is currently intended to provide information about The Neuroverse and allow readers to join its mailing list.
Information We Collect
Mailing-list information. When you subscribe, we collect your email address. MailPoet also records information associated with consent, including the signup date, signup source, and IP address. Providing this information is voluntary.
Technical information. Our hosting provider may automatically record limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, and access times, for security, maintenance, and service operation.
How We Use Information
- To send publication updates, sample chapters, release news, and related information you requested.
- To confirm subscriptions, process unsubscribes, and maintain mailing-list records.
- To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the site.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations and protect the site and its users.
Marketing emails are sent based on your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any mailing-list email.
Service Providers and Data Sharing
The site uses WordPress, MailPoet, and Hostinger hosting and email services. These providers may process information only as needed to host the site, manage subscriptions, and deliver email. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or site security.
We do not sell or rent mailing-list information.
Cookies
The site may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for security, administration, and basic site functions. MailPoet third-party tracking and WooCommerce cookie tracking are currently disabled. If optional analytics or advertising tools are added later, this policy will be updated as appropriate.
Online Store
WooCommerce is installed for future ecommerce use, but the store is currently disabled and no products, payments, or customer orders are being accepted. This policy will be updated before ecommerce is enabled to explain any additional information collected for purchases, payments, shipping, taxes, or customer accounts.
Data Retention
Mailing-list information is retained while you remain subscribed and as reasonably necessary to document consent, honor unsubscribe requests, resolve disputes, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. Technical logs are retained according to operational and security needs. You may request deletion of eligible personal information.
Your Choices and Rights
You may unsubscribe through the link in any email. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of personal information, or to object to certain processing. We may need to verify a request before completing it. Some information may be retained when legally required or necessary to maintain an unsubscribe record.
Children’s Privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Security and International Processing
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their safeguards and applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when the site, its services, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will identify the latest revision.
