Governance record · Actual site behavior
This record covers public browsing, Vercel hosting, the protected review, local-only interactions, ordinary email correspondence, external links, and the boundary around future research data.
A privacy page must describe what the site actually does—not what a template assumes a website probably does.
Current public record
This record applies to Neurosexology.org public pages, protected previews, local-only interactions, links, and messages sent to hello@neurosexology.org. It is not a study consent form, clinical privacy notice, or policy for a future dataset.
The application does not ask a visitor to identify themselves. As with ordinary web hosting, Vercel may process request and usage information such as IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or device information, referrer, errors, and security or diagnostic data.
Vercel hosts the site and may retain infrastructure, access, firewall, performance, and diagnostic records under its own service practices. Neurosexology does not treat ordinary hosting logs as research data or use them to infer sexual interests or experiences.
No @vercel/analytics package, analytics script, custom analytics event, session replay, advertising pixel, or support-link tracker is installed in the current application. If aggregate analytics are later proposed, this record must be updated before deployment with provider, data, retention, cookie, query-string, and opt-out behavior.
No performative cookie banner is shown because the application currently offers no non-essential cookie choice.
An email may contain the sender's address, name or signature, message, attachments, routing headers, timestamps, and technical metadata. It may be used to understand and answer the note, route a correction, consider a proposal, maintain a correspondence record, or improve public explanation in a non-identifying way.
A message is not automatically research data, a testimonial, a published case, or permission for continuing contact.
Do not send medical records, explicit images, legal documents, passwords, financial information, identifying third-party information, detailed patient or student cases, or intimate histories unnecessary to the question. A conceptual question may be asked without explaining why it matters personally.
No participant study, research intake, waitlist, pre-screening, or lived-experience submission pathway is active. Correspondence cannot be silently converted into a dataset. Any future research collection requires a separate protocol, consent process, responsible institution or investigator, security design, retention rule, withdrawal rule, and public-return plan.
Following an external link sends the visitor to another service with its own logs, cookies, privacy terms, and security. The browser may transmit a limited referrer under the site's strict-origin-when-cross-origin policy; sensitive user-entered state is not appended to external URLs.
Vercel provides hosting and deployment protection. Email and network providers involved in sending or receiving correspondence process messages and metadata. External resources such as PubMed, RAINN, 911.gov, and NO MORE receive a request only when a visitor chooses to open their links.
No fixed correspondence-retention period is currently promised. Messages may be kept while relevant to the conversation, correction history, project administration, safety, or legal obligations, then removed when no longer needed. Provider backups or legal requirements may limit immediate deletion.
A person may ask what correspondence Neurosexology retains about them, request a correction, or request deletion where applicable. Identity may need to be reasonably verified. The response will state any practical, legal, security, provider, or archival limitation rather than guarantee an outcome in advance.
The site provides general public knowledge and does not offer accounts, behavioral advertising, participant recruitment, or a form aimed at collecting information from children. Children should not send intimate or identifying information through ordinary email. Any future age-specific research or service requires separate review, consent, and safeguarding.
HTTPS, deployment protection for review builds, restrictive browser permissions, framing protection, content-type protection, and a referrer policy reduce some risks. No website or ordinary email channel can promise absolute security, anonymity, clinical confidentiality, legal privilege, or protection from all provider processing.
Material changes to analytics, cookies, forms, accounts, providers, research intake, retention, or reuse must be described here before deployment, versioned, dated, and linked through the Corrections record. A technical rebuild alone does not reset the review date.
Privacy questions may be sent to hello@neurosexology.org with the subject “Neurosexology — privacy question.” This founder-led address is not monitored as a crisis, emergency, clinical, safeguarding, or legal service.
