This Privacy Policy applies to the Autism Skills website and the content, downloads, and links made available through it.
1. Information we may collect
We may collect information you provide directly through email, social media messages, support inquiries, or purchase-related communications. We may also collect technical information automatically, including device and browser type, approximate location, IP address, referral source, pages viewed, and general usage data.
Purchases and memberships are processed by third-party services such as Gumroad and Patreon. Those providers handle payment details under their own policies. We may receive limited information needed to confirm a purchase, deliver a product, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, or understand aggregate sales performance.
2. Analytics and similar technologies
This site uses PostHog for product analytics. The current configuration uses PostHog's European hosting endpoint and does not create person profiles for anonymous visitors. Analytics tools may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to record page visits, device characteristics, session information, and general engagement patterns. You can control cookies and stored site data through your browser settings.
3. How information may be used
Information may be used to operate and secure the site, understand traffic patterns, improve educational content, respond to inquiries, troubleshoot technical issues, fulfill purchases, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
4. Third-party services and external links
The site links to third-party checkout, community, analytics, hosting, and social platforms. Those services operate under their own privacy notices. Autism Skills is not responsible for privacy or security practices on sites it does not control.
5. Editorial identity notice
Avery Rowan is a pen name and editorial publishing identity, not a separately existing public person. The name and illustrative portraits are used for branding, authorship attribution, and product presentation.
6. Sharing and retention
Information may be shared with service providers that help host the site, analyze traffic, process payments, prevent fraud, or deliver purchased materials. It may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, investigate abuse, or protect users and site operations.
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including customer support, recordkeeping, legal compliance, fraud prevention, and business continuity. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. Use the contact method listed on the site or the platform through which you interacted with us. Identity verification may be required before a request is completed.
8. Children's privacy
This website is intended for adults, including parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals. It is not directed to children for independent use. Do not submit sensitive information about a child through public messages or third-party platforms unless it is necessary, you are authorized to share it, and the channel is appropriate.
9. International processing and updates
Information may be stored or processed outside your country depending on the services used to operate the site. This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the site, providers, legal requirements, or operating practices. The effective date above identifies the current version.
