Privacy Policy – Neuroscience Research and Development Consultancy, LLC

This privacy policy describes how the Neuroscience Research and Development Consultancy, LLC (also called NRDC, “nerdsy”, and NeuroSci R&D Consultancy, LLC) uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through our WordPress-hosted site, you can be assured that it will be used only in accordance with this privacy statement.

A Reader Asked: So, how do I know all this stuff is true?

We’re not sure if this is an easy question or a difficult question. The simple answer is yes, it’s true. But, you asked, how do I know this is true? Our content management host is WordPress.org. That is, our website, https://www.neuroscirandd.com, sits on the web services site of WordPress.org. WordPress is used worldwide by over 60 million people and it has the reputation of being a trusted web host. Here is the link to the WordPress.org Privacy Policy. WordPress.org is one of the most popular content management system solutions in use. It’s used by over 40% of the top 10 million websites as of October 2021. And, WordPress has a five star privacy rating from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. But, reader, you are right to be skeptical. To the extent that you can trust anything on the Internet, you can trust WordPress.org and the Neuroscience Research and Development Consultancy, LLC. But, nothing is perfect, infallible, or invulnerable.

II. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Even if you have given us your contact information, you have the right at any time to stop us from contacting you.

Comments and Contact Forms

When site visitors leave comments on the site, or complete contact forms, we collect the data shown in the comments or contact forms. To help with spam detection, WordPress.org, the content management system host, (but not the NRDC, LLC) collects the site visitor’s Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser User Agent string. The browser User Agent string is a self-identifying User-Agent HTTP header that identifies the browser, its version number, and its host operating system. While the data collected by WordPress.org could possibly contain personally-identifying information, WordPress.org does not use the IP addresses to identify its visitors and does not disclose such information unless legally required to do so.

Media

This media paragraph is about information of yours that might be personal that we don’t want to collect. If you upload images to the website you should understand that many images have embedded location data included. This data is called exchangeable image file format (Exif) data and can include global positioning satellite (GPS) information. We recommend to you that you remove this embedded location data before uploading images because skilled visitors to the website could potentially download and extract such location data from such images on the website.

Cookies

You are able to opt-in or opt-out of cookies. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and the website webpage in cookies. It is the intent of WordPress.org that these are for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. If you opt-in and don’t op-out, these cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to our site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded, that is, disappears, 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.
