Privacy Policy
We are a community built on radical honesty and oversharing the messy realities of our lives and bodies. But when it comes to your digital data, we are fiercely protective. We hate corporate jargon, so we are going to keep this as straightforward as possible.
This Privacy Policy explains how HBIC Media, LLC (“Company”, “we”, “us”) handles information collected when you visit doyouendo.com (the “Website”). By hanging out on our site, reading our stories, or subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the practices outlined below.
1. Not For Kids
Because we talk frankly about medical trauma, anatomy, and sex, this publication is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has provided us with their information, please email us at info@doyouendo.com so we can delete it immediately.
2. Information We Collect
You can read our articles anonymously without handing over a single piece of personal data. However, if you choose to interact with us further, here is what we collect:
- Information you hand over: When you sign up for our newsletter via Mailchimp, submit a pitch, or email us, we collect the name and email address you provide.
- Information the internet collects: Like almost every website, our servers automatically collect standard technical data from your browser, such as your IP address and the pages you visit.
- Cookies: We use small data files called “cookies” to see which articles our community is reading the most so we can keep creating content that matters to you. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though it might make parts of the site run less smoothly.
3. How We Share Your Data
Let us be perfectly clear: we do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We share data with secure third-party platforms that help us run this publication, such as our email newsletter provider (Mailchimp) and website hosts. They are only permitted to use your info to do their jobs for us.
- Legal Obligations: If we are required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety and rights of HBIC Media, LLC, our writers, or our readers, we will disclose necessary information.
- Business Transfers: If our company is acquired, merges with another business, or undergoes a reorganization, your information would likely be transferred as part of that process.
4. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the CCPA. (Honestly, even if you don’t live in California, we respect these rights for everyone).
- Right to Know: You can ask us for a copy of the specific personal data we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
- Right to Delete: You can request that we scrub your personal information from our records.
- Non-Discrimination: We will never deny you access to DO YOU ENDO just because you exercised your privacy rights.
To submit a request, please contact info@doyouendo.com. We will need to verify your identity before processing the request.
