This is a starting template, not a final legal document. Have an actual attorney review it before publishing — especially the sections on children's data and consultation records, given the nature of this site.
Who this policy covers
This policy explains how Autism Advocacy Collective ("we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to this website, including caregivers who purchase templates, book consultations, or sign up for updates.
Information we collect
- Contact information you provide directly — name, email, and any details you share when booking a consultation or contacting us.
- Payment information, processed entirely through our third-party payment processor. We do not store full card numbers on our own systems.
- Information about your child that you choose to share in a consultation request or session — this is treated as sensitive and is not shared outside of the consultation itself except as described below.
- Basic usage data — pages visited, general location (city/region level), and browser type, typically through analytics tools.
How we use this information
- To deliver the products or consultations you've purchased or booked
- To respond to questions you send us
- To improve the site and the content we publish
- To send occasional updates, only if you've opted in
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services
This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:
- Amazon Associates — links to Amazon may use cookies to track referrals; see Amazon's own privacy policy for details on what they collect.
- Payment processing (e.g. Stripe) — handles payment data directly; we do not see or store full payment details.
- Scheduling/booking tools — used to manage consultation availability and confirmations.
- Email or analytics tools, if used, to send updates or understand site traffic.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for use by adult caregivers, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Information about a child shared by a parent or guardian during a consultation is used solely to provide that consultation and is not used for any other purpose without separate consent.
Data retention
We retain consultation notes and contact information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, respond to follow-up questions, or comply with legal requirements. You can request deletion of your information at any time (see Contact, below).
Your rights
You can request to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by reaching out through our contact form. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected with an updated "last updated" date at the top of this page.
