Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Autism at Work website located at Autism-at-Work.com and to information submitted through forms or other features provided directly through the website.

It does not control the privacy practices of external websites, services, employers, social networks, or other organizations linked from this website.

2. Information that may be collected

Autism at Work may collect information that you voluntarily provide and limited technical information generated when you use the website.

3. How information is used

Information may be used to:

• Operate and maintain the website.
• Respond to questions, feedback, and contact requests.
• Understand how visitors find and use the website.
• Improve content, accessibility, navigation, and performance.
• Detect spam, fraud, abuse, attacks, and technical problems.
• Maintain records reasonably needed for website operations.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.
• Protect the rights, safety, and security of the website and others.

Autism at Work does not use contact-form information to make automated employment, medical, credit, insurance, or legal decisions.

4. Contact-form information

When you submit the contact form, the information you provide is used to review and respond to your message, address a reported problem, consider a suggestion, or evaluate a proposed collaboration or professional opportunity.

Contact-form submissions may be processed through WordPress, Elementor, the website’s hosting provider, email-delivery services, spam-prevention services, and security systems.

5. Google Analytics and Site Kit

Autism at Work uses, or may use, Google Analytics to understand general website traffic and visitor interaction. Google Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, session activity, approximate geographic location, referral source, device category, browser information, and interactions with the website.

Site Kit by Google is installed as a WordPress administration tool. Site Kit connects website administrators with services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console and displays reports within the WordPress dashboard.

Autism at Work does not intentionally send names, email addresses, form-message contents, medical information, or other directly identifying contact-form information to Google Analytics.

Google may process information under its own terms and privacy policies. Analytics settings, consent controls, and retention options may be adjusted as the website develops.

6. Microsoft Clarity

Autism at Work may use Microsoft Clarity to better understand how visitors interact with website pages. Clarity may generate heatmaps, interaction reports, and session-replay information based on actions such as clicks, scrolling, navigation, and page rendering.

Clarity may use cookies or similar technologies and may associate interaction information with a pseudonymous identifier. Where required, Clarity cookies should only be activated after the visitor provides the appropriate consent.

Form fields and content that could contain personal information should be masked or excluded from recording. Autism at Work does not intend to use Clarity to capture passwords, private messages, medical information, or the contents of contact-form fields.

7. Google Search Console

Google Search Console is used to understand how the website appears in Google Search, including search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing status, page performance, and technical issues.

Search Console primarily provides aggregated website and search performance information to verified site owners. It is not used by Autism at Work to identify individual visitors or to read the contents of contact-form submissions.

8. Hosting, security, and Cloudflare

The website uses hosting, content-delivery, firewall, and security services to make pages available and protect the website from malicious traffic, spam, attacks, and unauthorized access.

Cloudflare and other infrastructure providers may process IP addresses, request headers, browser and device information, timestamps, requested URLs, bot-detection information, and security events when visitors connect to the website.

This technical processing is used for website delivery, caching, performance, traffic management, security monitoring, and abuse prevention.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small data files stored by a browser. The website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for functions such as:

• Maintaining website and WordPress functionality.
• Remembering privacy or consent choices.
• Measuring website traffic and engagement.
• Distinguishing visits and sessions.
• Supporting security and bot detection.
• Understanding how pages are used.

Where applicable law requires consent for analytics or behavioral-measurement cookies, those technologies should be withheld until the visitor provides the required consent.

Visitors may also restrict or delete cookies using their browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website or analytics functions.

10. Service providers and disclosure

Information may be processed by providers that support the website, including:

• Website hosting and server providers.
• WordPress and Elementor-related services.
• Cloudflare and other security providers.
• Google Analytics, Site Kit, and Search Console.
• Microsoft Clarity, if activated.
• Email-delivery and form-processing services.
• Spam-prevention, backup, and website-maintenance services.

Autism at Work does not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse, protect the website, enforce applicable terms, or protect the rights and safety of others.

11. Data retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, website security, record management, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or legitimate operational needs.

Contact messages may be retained while the conversation remains active and for a reasonable period afterward. Technical logs, analytics records, backups, and security information may follow the retention periods established by the applicable service provider or website configuration.

12. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how data is used.

You may also:

• Decline optional analytics cookies through the consent tool.
• Delete or restrict cookies through your browser.
• Use browser privacy or tracking-protection features.
• Request deletion of a contact-form submission when reasonably identifiable.
• Ask questions about how information submitted through the website was handled.

Requests may be submitted through the contact page. Additional information may be requested when reasonably necessary to verify the request and locate the relevant record.

13. Children’s privacy

Autism at Work is intended primarily as an employment and employer-education resource. The website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child submitted personal information may contact Autism at Work to request its review and deletion.

14. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website features, analytics tools, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change.

The effective date and last-updated date at the top of the page will be revised when material changes are made.
