Effective October 31, 2026 | Version 1.0
1 Responsibility and contact
Newbeings 1619 is a subsidiary of TeckEthix Inc., incorporated in Delaware and recognized by the IRS as tax exempt under section 501(c)(3). Work on the ecosystem is conducted from New York. This shared policy covers newbeings1619.us and newbeings1619.net and the ecosystem services described below. The Terms of Service describe participation and use of the services. It does not imply that the sites' accounts or databases are merged.
Privacy contact: admin@newbeings1619.us. The existing admin@newbeings1619.net privacy route is to remain available. Mail: TeckEthix Inc., 3430 Philadelphia Pike, Suite 636, Claymont, DE 19703-9998.
2 Information and purposes
Information is used for the service requested, necessary administration and security, resolving problems and applicable obligations. Required fields are identified in the relevant forms. Optional fields may be left blank.
- Community: account and profile details, content and media submitted, messages and preferences needed for the features used.
- Kindred: questionnaire answers, participation choices and information derived for optional matching and its administration.
- Directory: business listing and authorized submitter information. The form includes title, description, categories and tags, email, phone, website, address and map location, social links, images, hours, video and offers. These records support discovery and listing administration, not listed businesses' customer sales.
- Our store: contact, billing, shipping, order, payment-status, fulfillment, refund and download-access information needed for purchases from Newbeings.
- AI: submitted text, generated responses and audio where a voice feature is selected. Visible page history, backend records and provider-held records are different.
- Support and safety: information submitted in requests or reports and necessary records of investigation or resolution, with unrelated private information minimized.
3 Who can see information
Public educational pages and published business listings are publicly available. Profile, group, post and media visibility can vary by feature and setting; do not assume all community information is members-only. Check the audience before posting and avoid including unnecessary private information in public fields.
Messages and Kindred records are used for their respective community and matching functions. Necessary authorized administration and service processing may involve access to information that is not public. QR membership verification is a public feature, separate from personal-profile privacy controls.
Information made public can be copied or indexed independently. Removing information from our service cannot guarantee removal of copies held by others. Contact admin@newbeings1619.us if you have a visibility or access concern.
4 Providers and disclosures
Necessary information may be processed by providers delivering the relevant service. These include payment processing, third-party fulfillment, hosting, email delivery and AI services. For physical orders, a third-party fulfillment provider receives the order and shipping information needed to produce and deliver the purchase.
Depending on the AI feature used, requests may be processed by Anthropic, OpenAI or ElevenLabs. Different features may use different providers; this does not mean every request is sent to all three. The applicable provider and configuration affect processing and storage.
Necessary disclosure may also address a specific security incident, fraud, dispute, lawful requirement or protection of rights, subject to applicable law. This does not permit unrelated disclosure or indefinite retention.
The .us directory displays the .net directory. That alone does not establish unified accounts or every cross-domain information flow.
5 Cookies and email engagement information
Cookies and similar technologies support site features and may also be used by embedded or email services. On newbeings1619.net, MailPoet email tools collect email-open and link-click information, use browser cookies for engagement tracking, and collect timezone information. These tracking functions currently apply without a separate tracking-choice prompt for each recipient.
Necessary service-provider processing is different from a sale or targeted-advertising disclosure. Contact admin@newbeings1619.us about email or privacy concerns.
6 AI processing and choices
AI-generated content can be wrong. Prompts and audio may be processed by the providers serving the selected feature.
We do not use private conversations or member content for AI training without separate explicit permission. We do not rely on a blanket content license for training or promotional reuse. Generating a response is different from training a model.
Clearing visible history or reloading a page may not delete backend or provider copies. Provider processing can involve additional storage and access; we do not promise absolute confidentiality or that clearing visible history erases provider-held copies. Avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
7 Kindred choices
Kindred is optional and for adults. Community signup is not automatic enrollment. Questionnaire answers and derived matching information are used for the matching service.
Leaving the matching pool does not automatically erase saved answers. Contact admin@newbeings1619.us to request deletion or help with participation. We will review the request and explain what can be removed and whether a specific complaint, unresolved dispute or legal requirement justifies retaining limited records. A withdrawal request and a request to delete all ecosystem account information are different actions.
8 Communications
Account, security, service and order messages support the service you use. MailPoet Sending Service delivers WordPress email for newbeings1619.net.
Providing a phone number is not by itself consent to marketing texts, automated calls or recording. Any future optional marketing requires separate consent and a working way to unsubscribe. Questions about necessary notifications or email information can be sent to admin@newbeings1619.us.
9 Retention and deletion
Retention differs by service. A single automatic deletion schedule is not currently in operation across the ecosystem. Store retention fields do not currently impose automatic expiry, and leaving the Kindred pool does not automatically delete questionnaire answers. Some information therefore remains until it is reviewed and removed through an available process. You may request review of information you no longer want retained.
We retain necessary order and refund records for tax, accounting, fulfillment and dispute purposes. A financial-record requirement does not justify keeping unrelated matching answers, AI conversations or profile information. Necessary corporate and exemption records may have different requirements from purchase records.
AI page history may disappear when cleared or reloaded without erasing backend or provider-held copies. Provider-held audio and conversation records follow the applicable provider arrangements rather than a single ecosystem-wide deletion period. Backup copies and security records may remain beyond the removal of information from an active page or account.
You may request review and deletion of eligible information at admin@newbeings1619.us. We use reasonable identity checks and explain the result, limitations and any specific records that must remain. Backup copies or copies retained in shared conversations may not disappear at the same time as an active-system record. If information is retained for an unresolved transaction, complaint, fraud investigation, dispute or legal requirement, we limit that retention to the relevant purpose.
10 Requests correction export and deletion
Use admin@newbeings1619.us for privacy questions, correction, export, deactivation or deletion requests. The existing admin@newbeings1619.net privacy route remains available. Identify the service and request without sending passwords or unnecessary sensitive documents.
Reasonable identity checks help avoid disclosing or deleting someone else's information; an identity document is not routinely required for every request. Deactivation, Kindred withdrawal and account deletion are different actions. We will explain what was completed, what could not be completed and the reason for retained records. Requests remain subject to applicable legal rights and deadlines; this process does not replace those rights.
11 Security and access
No internet service can promise absolute security or confidentiality. Necessary administration and service-provider processing may involve access to restricted information for support, operation, investigation or legal requirements.
Report security concerns to admin@newbeings1619.us without including passwords or exploit-sensitive details in public posts. Suspected incidents are reviewed and applicable legal notification requirements remain in effect.
12 Age scope external businesses and changes
Participation in community accounts, Kindred, directory submissions and store purchases is for adults 18 and older in the United States. Public educational material may be viewed without an account. There is no parental-permission exception for participation. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted participating-account information so we can review it appropriately.
Directory businesses handle their own off-platform transactions and information practices. We do not process their customers' purchases. Review a business's own policies before submitting information directly to it.
Policy versions and effective dates identify the policy in use. Material changes will be identified in a notice on the site, with account email used when necessary. Separate permission will be obtained before a new information use when required, rather than inferred from unrelated activity.
