Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 26, 2025
Last Updated: January 26, 2025

At NeurAlbertaTech (NAT), we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and managing your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of data we collect, how we use and share it, and the measures we take to protect it. By using our website, participant portal, or other services, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Information Collection

We collect personal information directly from you when you interact with our platforms, programs, or events. This includes data you provide when filling out forms, signing up for newsletters, participating in events, or making donations. For example, when you complete a contact form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and optional phone number. Donation forms securely capture payment information through Stripe, while additional data, such as age and gender, is collected via our participant portal for program evaluation purposes.

We also gather feedback through surveys to assess the impact of our events and workshops. Google Analytics is used to track website activity, providing insights into user behavior, demographics, and preferences, which help us improve our services. Data collected through these methods enables us to better serve our community and advance our mission.

Use of Information

The information we collect is used to enhance our programs, respond to inquiries, process event registrations and donations, and communicate with participants, donors, and partners. We also use this data to track program impact, inform future initiatives, and ensure that our offerings align with the needs of our community.

Payment information provided during donations is securely processed and not stored on our servers. Personal details shared for registration or communication purposes are used only for the purposes stated at the time of collection.

We retain your information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill these purposes or comply with legal obligations.

Sharing of Information

To facilitate our programs and services, we work with trusted third-party providers. For example, Stripe securely processes payments, Luma handles event registrations, and Mailchimp manages email communications. Data is also stored using platforms like Baserow, and may be transferred to servers located outside your country, including Canada and the United States.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Data shared with third parties is limited to what is necessary to deliver services and is protected through contractual agreements that ensure confidentiality and security.

Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and other tracking technologies, such as Google Analytics, to enhance your browsing experience and improve website performance. These tools allow us to analyze user behavior, measure engagement, and tailor content to your preferences. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain website functionalities.

Security Measures

Protecting your information is a top priority. We implement robust security measures, including encryption and secure access controls, to safeguard your data. While no system can guarantee complete security, we continuously review and update our practices to mitigate risks and protect against unauthorized access or data breaches.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, subject to legal and regulatory obligations. You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications or withdraw consent for the use of your data. To exercise these rights or inquire about how your information is handled, please contact us at support@neuralberta.tech.
