Effective Date: 07-05-2025
At 12Disruptors, we care deeply about your privacy. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. We want you to feel informed and confident when browsing our content, so we’ve written this policy in plain language to help you understand what’s going on behind the scenes.
What Information We Collect
When you visit 12Disruptors, we may collect two types of information: personal and non-personal.
Personal information refers to data that identifies you as an individual. This includes things like your name, email address, IP address, or any details you enter when filling out a contact form, subscribing to a newsletter, or submitting a guest post.
Non-personal information is more general. This includes data like your browser type, the device you’re using, the pages you visit on our site, and the time you spend on each. We use this information to understand how our site is being used and to make improvements that enhance your experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to make your experience better and to help our site grow in the right direction. Here are some of the specific ways we use your data:
- To respond when you contact us—whether it’s a question, feedback, or guest post submission.
- To send you updates or newsletters if you’ve signed up for them.
- To analyze site traffic and understand which types of content are most valuable to our readers.
- To improve website functionality, security, and performance.
- To meet any legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests or regulatory requirements.
Rest assured, we do not sell or trade your personal information to anyone.
Cookies and Tracking Tools
Like most websites, we use cookies. Cookies are small files that store bits of information on your browser. They help us remember your preferences, keep the site running smoothly, and understand how people use our content.
There are different types of cookies we might use:
- Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to work. Without them, certain features (like login or comment systems) might not function properly.
- Analytics cookies: These help us measure things like how many people visited a page or how long they stayed. We often use tools like Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Marketing or third-party cookies: Occasionally, we may display sponsored content or work with partners. These cookies help track engagement across platforms.
If you don’t want cookies stored on your device, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse them. Keep in mind that disabling cookies might affect your experience on the site.
Sharing Your Information
In general, we don’t share your personal information with anyone. However, we may use third-party services (like email marketing providers, Google Analytics, or social media plugins) to run the site effectively. These partners may collect some data based on their own privacy practices. We carefully choose who we work with and aim to partner only with platforms that respect privacy.
We’ll never share your data unless it’s necessary for site functionality, required by law, or you’ve given us permission.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We only keep your personal information for as long as we need it. For example, if you sign up for our newsletter, we’ll keep your email address until you unsubscribe. If you email us through the contact page, we may retain the message for record-keeping, but we won’t use it for anything else unless you ask us to.
If you ever want your information deleted, just let us know—we’re happy to help.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights when it comes to your data. These might include:
- The right to access the information we have about you.
- The right to ask us to fix incorrect information.
- The right to ask us to delete your information.
- The right to stop receiving communications from us.
- The right to object to how your data is used or request that we restrict its use.
If you’d like to make a request regarding your data, you can contact us at info@12disruptors.com and we’ll respond as soon as possible.
Protecting Your Information
We take data security seriously. While no system is completely foolproof, we follow standard best practices to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. This includes secure hosting, regular monitoring, and access controls.
Children’s Privacy
12Disruptors is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information, please contact us—we’ll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version on this page with a new effective date at the top. If there are major changes, we’ll do our best to let you know in advance.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we’re protecting your data.
