The Data We Collect
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, including:
• Identity Data: Your name or username.
• Contact Data: Your email address (used for account setup and shop updates).
• Transaction Data: Details about payments to and from you and other details of products you have purchased from our shop.

The Chat Room & Community
Our Academy chat space is a secure, private area. Please be aware:

• While we strive to keep this space secure, users should not share sensitive personal information (like home addresses or bank details) within the public chat threads.
• We do not sell your chat data or personal info to third parties.
Age Verification and Community Safety
To maintain the #4nine0two Research Hub and Chat Room as a mature and professional environment, we use age verification measures for specific areas of the website.
Data Minimisation: We only ask for your date of birth to verify that you are aged 18 or over. This information is processed locally to validate your access and is not stored in our permanent database.
Cookies: We use a “strictly necessary” cookie to remember that your age has been verified. This prevents you from having to re-verify your age on every visit. This cookie does not track your activity outside of this website.
Legal Basis: We process this data based on our Legitimate Interests in maintaining a safe, mature research community and chat room and to comply with our duty of care under the UK Online Safety Act.
How We Use Your Data
We only use your data when the law allows us to. Most commonly:
• To register you as a new member of the Academy.
• To process and deliver your merch orders.
• To send you updates about new music or site features (only if you’ve opted in).
Your Legal Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have rights including the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
