• Secure data storage with access controls and authentication requirements
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use our Services and transmit information at your own risk.

6. Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods vary based on:

7.5 Restriction of Processing

You may request that we restrict or limit the processing of your Personal Information under certain circumstances.

7.8 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@neuralwired.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 30 days). We may require verification of your identity before processing your request to protect your privacy and security.

8. International Data Transfers

NeuralWired operates primarily in Tier 1 markets (United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). Your Personal Information may be collected, processed, and stored on servers located in these jurisdictions and potentially transferred to other countries where our service providers maintain facilities.

When we transfer Personal Information from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with comprehensive data protection laws to countries that may not provide equivalent protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to these transfers.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 16, please contact us immediately at privacy@neuralwired.com.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by NeuralWired. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through our Services. If you provide information directly to third parties (such as payment processors or social media platforms), your interactions are governed by their respective privacy policies, not this Policy.

11. AI and Editorial Transparency

NeuralWired is committed to transparency regarding the use of artificial intelligence in our operations. We may use AI tools to:

• Assist with content research, fact-checking, and editorial analysis
• Personalize content recommendations based on reader preferences
• Optimize website performance and user experience
• Generate data visualizations or analytical summaries

All editorial content published on NeuralWired is subject to human editorial oversight and review, regardless of whether AI tools were used in the research or drafting process. AI-generated content is never published without human verification and editorial judgment. We disclose AI usage in accordance with our Editorial Guidelines.

• Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide Services you request (newsletter delivery, account management).

In addition to the rights described in Section 7, EEA and UK residents have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your Personal Information violates applicable law.
