This Privacy Policy applies to the Autism Skills website, related pages hosted under the same domain, and the content, downloads, and links made available through this site. It is written to be practical rather than exhaustive legal jargon, but it is intended to cover the main ways information may move through the site.
1. Information we may collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as details you send through email, social media messages, support inquiries, or purchase-related communications. We may also collect technical information automatically when you visit the site, including device type, browser type, approximate location, IP address, referral source, pages viewed, and general usage data.
If you purchase a product or membership through a third-party service such as Gumroad, Patreon, or another payment platform, the transaction is processed by that provider. We may receive limited information necessary to confirm the purchase, deliver the product, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, or understand aggregate sales performance.
2. How information may be used
Information may be used to operate the site, maintain security, understand traffic patterns, improve educational content, respond to inquiries, troubleshoot technical issues, fulfill purchases, and communicate about products or services you requested. We may also use information to monitor misuse, enforce our site terms, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Analytics, cookies, and similar technologies
This site may use analytics and diagnostic tools that rely on cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to understand how the site is used. These tools may record page visits, device characteristics, session information, and general engagement patterns. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may behave differently if you disable them.
4. Third-party services and external links
The site may link to third-party platforms, including checkout pages, community pages, social platforms, video services, analytics providers, hosting providers, and payment processors. Those services operate under their own privacy notices and policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, or content policies of third-party sites that are not directly controlled through this website.
5. Identity notice
Avery Rowan is a pen name and is not a real person.
References on this site to Avery Rowan describe a publishing identity used for branding, authorship attribution, and product presentation. That identity notice does not change how visitor information is handled, but it is provided here for clarity because the name appears throughout the site and related materials.
6. How information may be shared
Information may be shared with service providers and infrastructure partners that help operate the site, process payments, host content, analyze traffic, prevent fraud, or deliver purchased materials. Information may also be disclosed if reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect the safety of users or the public, investigate abuse, or protect the rights, property, and security of the site and its operators.
7. Retention and security
Information is generally retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including customer support, recordkeeping, legal compliance, fraud prevention, and business continuity. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and this site cannot guarantee absolute security, but reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational steps may be used to reduce risk.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain information, restriction of some processing, or objection to certain uses. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. To make a privacy request, use the contact method provided on the site or the platform through which you interacted with us. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
9. Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults, including parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals. It is not directed to children to use independently. Please do not submit sensitive information about a child through public forms, messages, or third-party platforms unless it is necessary for a support issue and you are authorized to share it.
10. International processing and policy updates
Information may be stored or processed in countries other than your own depending on the hosting, analytics, commerce, and communication tools used to operate the site. By using the site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in those jurisdictions.
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the site, service providers, legal requirements, or operating practices. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect.
