This policy explains how Neon Learning Ltd collects and uses personal information when you visit MySideHustle.club, create an account, join a mailing list, contact us or otherwise use our services.
1. Who is responsible for your information?
Neon Learning Ltd is the controller of personal information covered by this policy.
Company number: SC795393
Registered office: 5 Cadwell Grove, Gorebridge, Scotland, EH23 4NQ
Registered in: Scotland
Privacy contact: hello@mysidehustle.club
2. Information we collect and why
| Information | How we use it | UK lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account details, such as name, email address, username and membership status | Create and manage your account, provide member features and communicate about the service | Contract; legitimate interests in administering the service |
| Contact and support messages | Respond to enquiries, provide support and keep an appropriate record | Legitimate interests; steps requested before a contract |
| Newsletter choices and email engagement | Send requested articles, offers or updates; manage preferences; measure and improve communications | Consent for marketing where required; legitimate interests for limited service measurement, subject to your rights |
| Transaction records, if you buy something from us | Process and administer the order, provide access, handle refunds and meet accounting obligations | Contract; legal obligation |
| Technical and security data, such as IP address, browser, device, timestamps and security events | Deliver, secure, troubleshoot and prevent misuse of the Site | Legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Site; legal obligation where applicable |
| Cookie, analytics and advertising data | Remember choices, understand use of the Site and, where enabled, measure or personalise advertising | Consent for non-essential technologies; legitimate interests or contract for strictly necessary functions |
| Comments or other content you choose to submit | Publish, moderate and respond to the submission | Contract or legitimate interests in running the publication and community |
We normally collect information directly from you, from your device when you use the Site, and from service providers that help us operate it. If a payment processor is used, it normally handles complete payment-card details directly; we receive transaction status and limited billing information rather than full card details.
We do not use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and similar technologies store or access information on your device. Some are strictly necessary for the Site to work, such as security, login, session and consent-preference technologies. Others support analytics, functionality or advertising.
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, account sessions, security, load balancing and recording privacy choices | Active where legally exempt from consent |
| Preferences | Remember optional settings and improve functionality | Controlled through the consent manager where required |
| Analytics | Understand traffic and how visitors use the Site | Controlled through the consent manager where required |
| Advertising | Serve, limit, measure and, if you agree, personalise advertisements | Controlled through the consent manager where required |
The consent manager identifies the technologies and providers currently in use, their purposes and duration. You can accept, reject or customise non-essential technologies and change your choice at any time through Cookie Settings. Refusing optional cookies does not prevent access to the Site, although some optional features may work differently.
Providers currently used on the Site may include CookieYes for consent preferences; WordPress, Jetpack and WordPress.com services for hosting, delivery, performance and analytics; Google AdSense for advertising and measurement; Google reCAPTCHA for spam and security checks; MemberPress for membership accounts; WooCommerce for commerce and session functions; and form or email providers used to deliver requested messages. The exact services active on a page depend on the features you use.
Advertising
When advertising is enabled and you consent where required, third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses and similar information as a result of ad serving. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this Site and other sites.
You can manage Site choices through Cookie Settings and manage Google ad personalisation through Google Ads Settings. Additional advertising vendors, if enabled, are identified through the consent manager.
4. Marketing
We send marketing email only where we have a lawful basis to do so. You can unsubscribe through the link in an email or contact us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal. We may keep a minimal suppression record so that we honour your request.
You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing. Email hello@mysidehustle.club or use the unsubscribe link at any time.
5. Who receives information?
We disclose information only as reasonably necessary to:
- hosting, content-delivery, security and technical-support providers;
- account, membership, email and customer-relationship service providers;
- payment providers, if a purchase is available;
- analytics and advertising providers, subject to consent and applicable choices;
- professional advisers, insurers, auditors and authorities where necessary;
- a buyer or successor in connection with a genuine reorganisation or sale, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell personal information for cash. Some disclosures for personalised or cross-context behavioural advertising may be treated as a “sale”, “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under certain US state laws. Where an applicable law gives you an opt-out right, use Cookie Settings or contact us.
6. International transfers
Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States. Where UK transfer rules apply, we rely on an available lawful transfer mechanism, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards, and review the information provided by the relevant service provider. Contact us if you want more information about the safeguard relevant to your information.
7. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose collected, including providing an active account, responding to an enquiry, honouring marketing choices, resolving disputes, securing the Site and meeting legal, tax and accounting requirements. We then delete or anonymise it where reasonably possible.
8. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to:
- receive information about how we use your data;
- access and receive a copy of it;
- correct inaccurate information;
- ask us to delete or restrict its use;
- object to processing, including direct marketing;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time;
- opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling where an applicable US state law provides that right;
- appeal a refusal of a US state privacy request where applicable.
To exercise a right, email hello@mysidehustle.club. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
If you have a UK data-protection concern, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. If you live elsewhere, you may also be able to contact your local privacy or consumer-protection regulator.
9. Security
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal information. No internet service is completely secure, so please use a unique password and contact us promptly if you believe your account or information has been compromised.
10. Children
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. We will update the date above and take reasonable steps to highlight a material change where appropriate.
