Privacy Policy

She-EO Spotlight ("we", "us", or "our") operates a digital platform featuring podcast episodes, interviews, articles, a community forum, a business directory, and membership offerings. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the platform, how we use it, and the choices you have.

This policy applies to all visitors, registered users, members, and contributors who interact with our platform.

Account information. When you register or sign in, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials through our platform provider.

Content you submit. If you submit a guest application, nomination, community post, business listing, review, article, or contact inquiry, we collect the information you provide in that submission (such as your name, business details, and the content itself).

Membership and payment information. Paid memberships are processed through our payment provider (Base44 Payments). We do not store your card details on our platform; payment information is handled by the payment processor. We receive confirmation of your purchase status so we can grant and maintain your membership access.

Usage information. We collect basic analytics about how the platform is used (such as pages visited and features used) to improve our services.

Local storage. We store small amounts of data in your browser (such as your music player preferences and session state) to remember your settings. You can clear this at any time through your browser settings.

We use the information we collect to: operate and maintain the platform; grant and manage membership access; review and moderate submissions; send you service-related communications (such as welcome emails or status updates on your submissions); personalize your experience; and improve our content and features.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

User-submitted content (including community posts, reviews, business listings, nominations, and inquiries) is screened by automated tools and our team for spam, abuse, and policy violations before or after it appears publicly. Content that violates our standards may be hidden or removed.

We share information only as needed to operate the platform: with our hosting and platform provider (Base44), our payment processor (for membership billing), and email delivery services (for transactional messages). Each provider processes data on our behalf under its own privacy safeguards.

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites (such as businesses listed in our directory or guests' social profiles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us through the platform.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also opt out of non-essential communications.

To exercise any of these rights, reach out through the Contact page on the platform.

The platform is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above, and continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, contact us through the Contact page on the platform.
