Next30ATL does not sell reader names or email addresses to third parties for their independent direct-marketing mailing lists.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide a method for readers to exercise applicable opt-out rights.
8. Affiliate Links
Next30ATL may publish links to products or services for which we receive compensation if a reader makes a purchase or takes another action.
Clicking an affiliate link may allow the third-party merchant or affiliate platform to collect information about the referral and subsequent transaction.
Third-party privacy policies govern information collected directly by those companies.
9. When We May Share Information
We may share information in limited circumstances, including:
Service Providers
We may provide information to companies that perform services for us, such as website hosting, newsletter delivery, analytics, payment processing, event management, advertising, and technology support.
Business Partners
When we conduct an event, contest, promotion, or other program with another organization, we will disclose information-sharing arrangements when appropriate.
We will not automatically provide your email address to an event sponsor for the sponsor's independent marketing purposes unless we disclose that practice and obtain any consent required by applicable law.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, regulatory request, or other legal process.
Protection of Rights and Safety
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security threats, abuse, violations of our Terms and Conditions, or threats to the rights or safety of Next30ATL, our readers, or others.
Business Transfers
If Next30ATL or substantially all of its assets are acquired, merged, reorganized, or transferred to another organization, information associated with the business may be transferred as part of that transaction.
10. Surveys, Contests, and Promotions
Next30ATL may occasionally conduct surveys, contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions.
Participation is voluntary.
We may collect information necessary to administer the program, select winners, deliver prizes, conduct research, or analyze audience interests.
Additional rules or privacy disclosures may apply to particular promotions.
If information will be shared with a sponsor or other third party for its independent marketing purposes, we will disclose that information as appropriate when you participate.
11. Reader Submissions
If you submit a comment, story, photograph, letter, testimonial, or other material for possible publication, information you include may become public if the material is published.
Do not include information you want to keep private in material intended for publication.
Because Next30ATL covers health, retirement, caregiving, finances, relationships, and other personal subjects, readers should use particular care when submitting sensitive personal information.
Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, medical records, or similar highly sensitive information unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.
12. Information About Other People
You may occasionally provide information about another person, such as when submitting a story suggestion, event registration, or other material.
You should provide another person's personal information only when you have an appropriate reason and authority to do so.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

15. Do Not Track and Privacy Controls
Some browsers and devices offer privacy signals or “Do Not Track” settings.
Because standards governing these signals continue to evolve, our response may depend on the technology involved and applicable legal requirements.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our technology providers, Next30ATL will honor applicable legally recognized opt-out preference signals.
16. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our services, maintain business and financial records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Information that has been aggregated or de-identified may be retained for longer periods when it can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.
17. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information.
However, no website, email platform, database, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should use appropriate caution when transmitting personal or sensitive information online.
18. Third-Party Websites
Next30ATL articles and newsletters frequently contain links to government agencies, businesses, nonprofit organizations, news organizations, medical resources, financial resources, entertainment venues, retailers, and other third-party websites.
Next30ATL does not control the privacy practices of those websites.
Once you leave Next30ATL or interact directly with another company, that company's privacy policy generally governs its collection and use of information.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third parties with whom you interact.
19. Children's Privacy
Next30ATL is intended primarily for adults.
Our website and newsletters are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
