Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

We believe the most important work of your life happens in the conversations you have been avoiding. For those conversations to be truly brave, this space must be safe. That requires complete transparency about how your data is handled.

This policy explains how the Brave Conversation Club ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

1. Information we collect and why

We only collect information that you explicitly choose to give us, alongside necessary technical data required to keep this space operational and secure. We do not mine your data, and we do not sell it.

- Your contact details | When you join the waitlist, subscribe to the Scribe's Journal, or register for membership, we collect your name and email address.
- Your interactions | If you participate in our community spaces, development circles, or contact us directly, we hold that text securely to respond to you and maintain the integrity of the collective space.
- Payment information | When the gateway opens and payments are live, all financial transactions will be processed through secure, encrypted third-party billing platforms. We never see or store your credit card details.
- Technical data | When you visit this website, our host servers automatically log basic diagnostic information. This includes your IP address, your browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit.

2. How We Use Your Data

We only use your personal and technical information for specific, grounded purposes connected directly to running the club.
These include:

To provide, operate, and maintain our website, services, and membership spaces.
To communicate with you regarding your membership, waitlist status, updates, or to send you the Scribe's Journal.
To offer direct ongoing customer assistance and technical support.
To comply with any applicable New Zealand laws and regulations.
To maintain site security, detect fraudulent activity, and prevent automated spam.

3. Cookies and tracking

We use cookies on this website to ensure everything functions smoothly. Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device that help us understand how you interact with our space.

Essential cookies | These are necessary for the website to load correctly and to keep our membership spaces secure.
Analytics cookies | These show us general trends, like which pages are being read, so we can see what resonates with the community. This data is completely anonymous and does not identify you personally.

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, though it might change how some parts of the site work for you.

4. Storage, hosting and sharing

Our website is hosted on an online platform that allows us to provide our services and membership spaces to you. Your data may be stored through their secure data storage, databases, and general applications behind a secure firewall.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share your data with trusted service providers who help us run this website and communicate with you (such as our email newsletter platform). Because these digital platforms often operate outside of New Zealand, we ensure our partners protect your data to a standard that aligns with our obligations under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

The only other time we would share your data is if we are legally compelled to do so by New Zealand law.

5. How we protect your data

Your information is stored securely. We take all reasonable steps to protect it from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Because the work we do here touches the heavy and transformative terrain of soul discovery, we treat your presence in this digital sanctuary with the utmost respect.

6. Your rights and contact details
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you hold total sovereignty over your data. You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong.

If you don’t want us to process your data anymore, please contact us at braveconversationclub@gmail.com.

If you would like to: access, correct, amend or delete any personal information we have about you, you are invited to contact our designated Privacy Officer at braveconversationclub@gmail.com.
