Effective Date: Oct 2025

At The German New Medicine Collective (“GNMC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our community members. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you join the GNMC as an Enthusiast member and engage with our platform, community, and resources.

By accessing or using our website, joining our community, or participating in events or discussions, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, we encourage you not to use our services.

1. About Us

The German New Medicine Collective is a private, online community designed to support individuals on their journey of exploring German New Medicine. We provide a free Enthusiast Membership that gives members access to events, group discussions, and shared wisdom through our digital platforms. Our aim is to foster a safe, collaborative space for reflection, support, and growth.

2. Information We Collect

When you sign up for the Enthusiast Membership, we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide. This includes your name, email address, and any other details submitted through registration forms or event sign-ups. Additionally, when you engage in community discussions, post in forums, or participate in events, you may choose to share further information—such as personal reflections or health-related experiences. This sharing is entirely voluntary and not a condition of membership.

We also collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and general usage data through cookies or similar technologies used by the platforms that host our community and website. While we do not currently use advanced analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel, we reserve the right to do so in the future and will update this policy accordingly.

3. How Information Is Collected

Your personal data is collected through the sign-up forms hosted on our website (managed via Go High Level), through community activity within our Mighty Networks platform, and through registration for special events or resources. Community members may also choose to share sensitive data (such as symptom history or personal health narratives) through discussion threads or comments. This information is not requested or stored separately by us; it remains within the community platform and under your control as a user.

We do not extract or analyze health-related data for any purpose beyond facilitating the community experience. The information you choose to share remains visible within the community and is not processed or stored elsewhere.

4. Use of Personal Information

We use the information you provide to manage your membership, communicate with you regarding community updates or events, and to support the overall functionality of our services. Communication may include newsletters, event invitations, reminders, or community updates. You can opt out of these communications at any time via the unsubscribe link provided in emails or by contacting us directly.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties. Your information is only used for the legitimate operation of the GNMC platform and to enhance your member experience.

5. Data Storage and Hosting

Your personal data is stored securely within the platforms we use to operate the GNMC. Member registration and email communications are managed through Go High Level, while our community interaction and discussions are hosted on Mighty Networks. These platforms have their own privacy and security protocols in place to protect user data, which we rely on to ensure your information is handled securely.

We do not maintain independent offline records or databases containing sensitive health data. Information shared inside the community remains within the bounds of the platform and is subject to the user controls provided by Mighty Networks.

6. International Access and Compliance

Our platform is accessible globally, and we welcome members from all countries. By using our services, you acknowledge that your data may be stored and processed in countries outside of your jurisdiction, including Australia, where our business is based. If you are located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with specific data protection laws, such as the GDPR, your data will be treated with a level of care that aligns with those laws, including the right to access, update, or delete your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your membership remains active or as needed to provide you with services. We do not currently have a fixed data retention schedule. If you decide to leave the community or wish to have your data deleted, you may contact us at the email address provided below, and your information will be manually removed from our systems.

Please note that any information you have shared inside the community may continue to exist in archived discussions unless you request that it be deleted from the platform.

8. Your Rights

As a member of the GNMC, you have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time. You may also request a copy of the information we hold about you or ask that we restrict how it is used.

You may unsubscribe from email communications using the link provided at the bottom of our emails. For any other data-related requests, you may contact us directly, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Children’s Privacy

The GNMC is designed primarily for adult users aged 18 and older. However, we do not restrict access to users under 18, provided they have the explicit consent of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect or store data from minors without appropriate consent. If we become aware that a user under the age of 18 has provided personal information without proper consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

10. Security Measures

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is protected. This includes relying on secure, well-established third-party platforms like Go High Level and Mighty Networks, which implement their own technical safeguards. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we ever become aware of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you promptly and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable laws.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as our practices evolve or as legal requirements change. If we make material changes to the way we collect or use your information, we will notify you through email or by posting an announcement in the community. The “Effective Date” at the top of this document will always indicate the current version.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy.
