When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we may process personal information depending on how you interact with our Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use.
According to Termly, your thoughts and opinions are considered philosophical beliefs, which are sensitive personal information. Learn more about sensitive personal information and personal information.
Nivationist ONLY purposefully collects the following 3 types of information:
1. Your first and last name (non-sensitive)
2. Your email address (non-sensitive)
3. Your philosophical beliefs (sensitive): Nivationist may collect your comments, feedback, and opinions from all communications associated with Nivationist. We reference them anonymously for educational purposes on creating content relating to productivity, mindset, 3D, and digital marketing if they’re sent to Nivationist in private. If we do need to identify you to the public, for example, testimonials, we will get explicit consent from you before publishing your thoughts/opinions. For contributions (i.e. online comments) that are already shown in public, we reserve the right to use your information for educational/demonstration purposes along with your public identifier. Visit the “YOUR SUBMISSIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS” section in Terms and Conditions for more details.
The above types of personal information will only be collected when you sign up for a newsletter, when you use the contact forms, when you email me, when you submit a comment, and other future scenarios when the practice is commonplace and at your discretion. We may also process sensitive personal information when necessary with your consent or otherwise permitted by applicable law in order to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, to comply with the law, and other legal reasons. See “WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?” below to know the third-parties we use to process the data we purposefully collect and store and other personal information that are automatically collected by the third-parties.
See “WHERE AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?” below for the extensive list of third-parties categories we use and navigate to “WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?” below on any data collected by third parties that is not covered by this privacy notice.

Thus, we DO receive information from third parties because we need to do research to support the claims we made in our content, especially on blog topics pertaining to digital marketing.
We may share personal information under specific situations and with specific categories of third parties that are applicable under the law. See the Table of Contents below for the type of personal information we collect.
Depending on where you’re located geographically, your rights under applicable privacy law may vary. See the Table of Contents below to learn more about your privacy rights.

Personal Information You Disclose to Us
We collect personal information that you provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or when you contact us.

We only collect your first/last name and email address so we can send you email newsletters (your continent may also be collected).

We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal basis to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e. consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of marketing and certain communication emails.
Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
- Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services
- Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users
- Support our marketing activities
- Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience and create better content
Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e. express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e. implied consent). You can withdraw your consent
at any time. In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
- If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
- For investigations, fraud detection, and prevention
- For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
- If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
- For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
- If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
- If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
- If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
- If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
- If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
- If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

Do we collect information from minors?
NIVATIONIST complies with both the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
COPPA: Users (under age 13)
We DO NOT knowingly collect data from or market to children under 13 years of age.
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), we’re may NOT be required to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) because
1.) we’re NOT directed to children under 13. The FTC defines “directed to children under 13” on several factors. For example, “subject matter of the site or service, visual and audio content, the use of animated characters or other child-oriented activities and incentives, the age of models, the presence of child celebrities or celebrities who appeal to kids, ads on the site or service that are directed to children, and other reliable evidence about the age of the actual or intended audience.”
2.) We are directed to a general audience and DON’T have actual knowledge that we collect personal information from children under 13.
Learn more about FTC’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) on Businesses and FTC’s FAQ on COPPA Compliance.
GDPR and age of “majority” rule: Users (age 13-18)
We do NOT knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will either ask for parental consent using the contact info provided by the minor or immediately deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us via the General Question Forms at https://nivationist.com/contact/.

Controls for do-not track features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
Learn more about the Do Not Track Policy from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EEF). According to EEF, you can use Tor, an organization that focuses on online privacy and anonymity.
