How We Use Your Information

Forms and Newsletter Consent

Submitting a Nerd Court case, guest request, sponsorship inquiry or other website form does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

We will send newsletters or promotional emails only when you separately choose to join our mailing list. Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe option. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from responding to an inquiry or submission you initiated.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use essential cookies necessary for security, functionality and form processing.

We may also use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand how visitors find and use the website. When enabled, Google Analytics may collect information such as device details, general location, pages visited and interactions with website features. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or submitted form content to Google Analytics.

Read the Google Analytics privacy requirements.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

Pages on this website may include embedded videos, podcast players or other content from services such as YouTube. Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly.

Those providers may collect information, use cookies or track interactions according to their own privacy policies. Links to social media, podcast platforms and other external websites are also governed by the privacy practices of those services.

Advertising and Affiliate Links

Podcasting While Nerdy may eventually display advertising or use affiliate links. Before personalized advertising or affiliate tracking is activated, this policy and our advertising disclosure will be updated with information about the applicable providers and tracking practices.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website, process forms, deliver email, analyze traffic or maintain security. These providers may use the information only to perform services on our behalf.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights or safety, or to investigate fraud, abuse or security concerns.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to submissions, provide requested services, maintain business records, resolve disputes or satisfy legal obligations.

You may request deletion of information you submitted by emailing podcastingwhilenerdy@gmail.com. Some information may be retained when legally required or necessary for security and recordkeeping.

Your Choices

You may:

Unsubscribe using the link provided in marketing emails
Decline optional cookies when cookie controls are available
Adjust cookie settings through your browser
Request access, correction or deletion of information you submitted

Privacy rights may vary depending on where you live.

Children’s Privacy

Podcasting While Nerdy is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information was submitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect submitted information. However, no website, email system or online transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services or legal obligations change. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated revision date.
