Privacy Policy for "Life in Question"

Effective Date: October 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Denim, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website, our podcast, and associated channels (collectively, the "Services"), which feature blog-style posts covering podcast episodes and occasional articles for informational and entertainment purposes. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

Email address, if you sign up for our mailing list or submit our feedback form
Name and location, if you submit a comment via our feedback form
Name and any content you submit when commenting on blog posts (comments are open to the public and do not require an account or subscription)
Any information you send us directly, such as through a contact form or email

Information collected automatically:

IP address, browser type, device type
Pages visited, time spent on site, referring URLs
Cookies and similar tracking technologies (via Google Analytics)

Information from third-party platforms:

If you interact with us on YouTube, Podbean, or other podcast carriers (e.g., Apple Podcasts, Spotify), those platforms have their own privacy practices governing that data. We may see aggregate listener/viewer statistics they choose to share with us as the content creator, but we don't control how those platforms collect or use your data directly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the website and podcast
Send occasional mailing list updates (only to those who opt in)
Respond via email to feedback inquires and comments
Moderate public comments and respond to inquiries
Analyze site traffic and content performance
Comply with legal obligations

4. Public Comments

Blog post comments are open to the public and do not require you to subscribe or create an account. Please be aware that anything you post in a comment — including your name, if you use your real one — is publicly visible. We are not responsible for how others use information you voluntarily share in a public comment. We reserve the right to moderate, restrict, or close commenting (including requiring registration) if needed, such as to address spam or abuse.

5. Health-Related Content

Our content covers general mental and physical health topics for educational and informational purposes, and occasionally touches on benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) as part of that broader scope. This is not a medical practice, we do not provide medical advice, and we do not collect protected health information (PHI) as a HIPAA-covered provider would. If you voluntarily share health-related information with us — in a comment, an email, via our feedback form, or as a podcast guest — we handle it with discretion, but we cannot guarantee the same legal protections as a covered healthcare entity.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies, including through Google Analytics, to understand site usage and improve the user experience. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our Services:

Wix — website hosting
Podbean — podcast hosting
Third-party podcast carriers (e.g., Apple Podcasts, Spotify) — podcast distribution
YouTube — video/podcast distribution
Google Analytics — site traffic analysis

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how it collects and handles data, and we encourage you to review them.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

With service providers who help us operate the Services (listed above)
If required by law or to protect our legal rights
With your consent

9. International Users and GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Object to or restrict our processing of your data
Request a copy of your data in a portable format
Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribing from our mailing list)

Legal basis for processing: We process your email address for mailing list purposes based on your consent (given at signup). We process comment data based on your consent (given by submitting a comment) and our legitimate interest in operating a functioning comment section. We process analytics data based on our legitimate interest in understanding site usage.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Your Choices and Rights (General)

You may unsubscribe from mailing list emails at any time via the link in each email.
You may request that we remove a comment you've posted by contacting us.
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA (California).

11. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Effective Date" above reflects the most recent revision.
