1. Who We Are
TheNextGenius.org is an independent digital platform founded by Jay Shukla and Shivam Shukla.
Our mission is to explore and share insights at the intersection of psychology, philosophy,
technology, and human potential. We are creators, thinkers, and lifelong learners aiming to foster a
community centered around meaningful and thought-provoking content.
2. Information We Collect
We collect both personal and non-personal information to provide a better experience for our users.
Personal information may include your name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily
provide when subscribing to our newsletter, filling out contact forms, or commenting on articles.
Non-personal information includes browser type, IP address, time spent on the site, and pages
visited. This data helps us understand user behavior and improve our website.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used to enhance our services and provide you with relevant content.
Personal information is used primarily to respond to your inquiries, send newsletters if you have
subscribed, and ensure that we deliver a personalized experience. Non-personal information helps
us analyze traffic trends, monitor performance, and maintain the security of our website. We do not
sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
For users based in the EU/EEA, we process your personal data based on legal grounds such as
your explicit consent (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter), legitimate interests (e.g., analytics and site
improvement), or legal obligations (e.g., compliance with laws). We ensure that your rights under the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are respected and upheld.
5. Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our
website. These include services like Google Analytics for site traffic analysis and email marketing
platforms for newsletter distribution. These third parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality
and security of your information and may only use it in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose your data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to comply with legal processes.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access,
alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes secure servers, encrypted transmissions, and
restricted access to personal data. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to
safeguard your data, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of
electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this
policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we will retain
your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. When we no longer need
your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. You can also
object to or restrict certain processing activities and request the portability of your data. If you have
given consent for data processing, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the
legality of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights,
