Privacy Policy and Trademark Notice (Effective Date: January 4, 2026)
This Privacy Policy and Trademark Notice describes how NeuroPsychoEconomics / the Association for NeuroPsychoEconomics (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit www.neuropsychoeconomics.org and any affiliated URLs that link to this policy (the “Site”). This policy applies to information collected through the Site and through direct communications with us (such as email).
We are the organization responsible for the personal information collected through this Site. We collect only the information you choose to provide to us, such as when you contact us by email, submit a research paper, register for a conference, become a member, or otherwise communicate with us. The information you provide may include your name, email address, mailing or shipping address, affiliation, and any details you include in your message or registration. We use this information to respond to you, provide membership and conference-related services, fulfill requests you make, and communicate important administrative information related to your membership, registration, or transactions. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you in the future about organizational updates, services, events, or changes to this policy. You can opt out of future non-essential communications at any time by contacting us at contact [at] neuropsychoeconomics [dot] org.
If you make a payment, donation, membership purchase, or conference registration payment, payment processing is handled by a payment provider such as PayPal. We do not store your credit card information; payment details are collected and processed by the payment provider. We may receive limited information from the payment provider, such as confirmation that a payment was completed and basic transaction details necessary for our records and to provide the requested service.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. We do not share your personal information with third parties outside our organization except in limited situations necessary to operate the Site and fulfill your requests, such as sharing information with service providers who help with payment processing, website hosting, email delivery, registration administration, shipping or fulfillment (if applicable), or similar operational support. When we use service providers, we share only the information needed for them to perform the services we request. We may also disclose information if required by law or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of our organization, our users, or others.
When you visit the Site, some information may be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser or device information, and general site usage information (for example, pages viewed and approximate location derived from IP address). We may use cookies or similar technologies to help the Site function and, if enabled, to understand and improve site performance. Where required by law, non-essential cookies will be used only after you make a choice through a cookie consent tool. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, though some Site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
We take reasonable precautions designed to protect your information. Information transmitted to payment providers is protected according to their security practices. Within our organization, access to personal information is limited to people who need it to perform specific responsibilities (for example, billing, customer support, or registration administration). We also use reasonable safeguards to protect systems where information may be stored. No method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You have choices and rights regarding your information. You may contact us to request access to the personal information we have about you, to request corrections, or to request deletion, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate operational needs (for example, retaining certain records for accounting, tax, security, or legal compliance). Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. If you are located in the EU/EEA/UK, you may have rights under GDPR such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object to certain processing, request portability, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are located in the United States, you may have rights provided by applicable state privacy laws, which can include rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of personal data, and opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising or certain types of data sharing as defined by law, where applicable. We will respond to requests consistent with applicable law and may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. When required, we use recognized legal mechanisms and safeguards for cross-border transfers.
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services you request, maintaining business and financial records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
This Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy statements of any website that collects personal information.
Our services and Site are not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
This policy may be updated from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If you believe we are not abiding by this policy, you should contact us immediately.
