Privacy Policy

Information you provide directly: When you create an account, join our newsletter, register for events, or post in the community, we collect your name, email address, and any content you submit.

Information collected automatically: We may collect standard server log data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is used solely for site security and performance monitoring.

Cookies and similar technologies: We use session cookies strictly necessary for authentication and site functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

We use the information we collect to create and manage your community account, send newsletters and community updates you have opted into, process event registrations, respond to your enquiries, maintain platform security, and improve the site based on aggregate anonymised usage patterns. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing your personal data are: Contract (processing necessary to provide the services you requested), Consent (newsletter subscriptions — you may withdraw at any time), and Legitimate interests (site security, fraud prevention, and service improvement).

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Account data is retained while your account is active. Newsletter subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 7).

We may share your information only with trusted service providers who assist in operating our platform (bound by confidentiality obligations), when required by law or court order, or in the event of a merger or acquisition with appropriate notice. We do not sell your data.

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed password storage, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, or port your personal data, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@spiriwake.com. We will respond within 30 days.

SpiriWake is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

SpiriWake serves a global community across six continents. Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where we transfer data from the EEA or UK to third countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify registered members by email. Your continued use of SpiriWake after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at privacy@spiriwake.com or visit spiriwake.com.
