Purpose; Informational Only
The purpose of the Website is to provide educational and informational content, including written content, the podcast, and any resources you receive by opting in to our email list. All such content reflects the author's opinions and experience and is provided for informational purposes only. It is not personalized advice and should not be relied on as such. Nothing on the Website or distributed by email or podcast is intended to take the place of a consultation with a qualified professional, including a lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, or medical professional. You agree to consult your own professional before relying on any information found on the Website.
Not Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship
Bahar Ansari is an attorney licensed in California. However, nothing on the Website, the podcast, any email, any downloadable resource, or any social media content is legal advice, and none of it is provided by Bahar Ansari in her capacity as a lawyer or as your lawyer. The Website provides general educational information only. Reading the Website, listening to the podcast, downloading a free resource, subscribing to the email list, or contacting us through the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not constitute legal advice. An attorney-client relationship with Bahar Ansari or her law firm is formed only through a separate, signed written engagement agreement. Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the Website, as it may not be treated as confidential or privileged. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

The content is designed to provide useful information and support your goals, but individual results depend on your own circumstances, effort, and commitment. We make every effort to help our readers and listeners, but we cannot predict or guarantee any specific result. You agree and understand that we make no guarantees regarding any outcome from using information found on the Website.
Earnings disclaimer.

Books and any other products associated with Bahar Ansari are sold and delivered through third-party retailers and platforms (for example, Amazon and other booksellers and audio platforms).

The Website itself does not process payments or sell products directly.
Podcast and Content
The podcast and other content are made available on the Website as free educational content. Episodes may also be available on third-party platforms (for example, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and others), which are governed by those platforms' own terms. The protections and restrictions in these Terms, including the intellectual property terms below, apply to the podcast and all other content on the Website. Music, audio, and other third-party material used in the podcast are either original, licensed, or used with permission; all other rights in the podcast and its episodes belong to Bahar Ansari.

You will not be entitled to payment for any such use.
Your Conduct
You agree to use the Website for lawful purposes only.

From time to time you may be offered a free download or resource in exchange for your name and email address. Any such material is for your personal, non-commercial use only and may not be copied, distributed, or shared other than in its original form with credit to Bahar Ansari.

Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Bahar Ansari ("I," "we," "us," or "our") collects and processes your personal data when you use baharansari.com. By using the Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
We may update this Policy from time to time and will provide notice by email of any material changes. It is your responsibility to review the current version.
Personal Information We Collect
The Website lets you voluntarily provide personal information — for example, by opting in to receive a free resource, subscribing to our email list, or contacting us. When you do, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and the content of any message you send. We also process information you post publicly, such as comments on blogs or social media.
If you contact us by email, social media, or the Website, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message, processed based on our legitimate interest in responding to you and keeping a record of the communication.
We do not sell products or process payments on the Website. Purchases of books or other products happen through third-party retailers (such as Amazon and other booksellers and audio platforms), and those retailers — not we — collect and handle your payment information under their own privacy policies.
How the Information Is Collected
We collect your personal information when you voluntarily provide it — by entering it in a form, opting in to a resource, subscribing, or contacting us. No information is collected through these forms without your action to submit it.
Automatic Data Collection
We may use standard cookies to recognize your browser. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until you delete them). You can accept or decline cookies in your browser settings; if you disable cookies, some areas of the Website may not work properly. The Website does not respond to Do Not Track signals.
We may collect data about how you use the Website — such as browsing patterns, IP address, and similar information — including through tools like Google Analytics, to obtain statistical data and improve the Website. Your IP address does not personally identify you and is used only for these limited purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you provide to deliver the resource, newsletter, or response you requested, to send periodic updates and marketing consistent with your opt-in, and to notify you of changes to our policies. Where you have opted in or where we have a legitimate interest in marketing to those who have shown interest, we may send email marketing, which you can stop at any time.
Legal Basis for Processing (EU/UK/EEA)
Where required by law, we rely on your consent (which you give when you opt in, and which you may withdraw at any time) and on our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating our content and email list. We do not collect sensitive data or information about criminal offenses.
How Information Is Stored and Shared
Your information is stored through a data-management system, and we take reasonable measures to keep it confidential. We will share your information only with parties who help operate the Website (such as technical, email, and analytics providers) or members of our team, all of whom are required to keep it confidential. We do not sell or rent your information. We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our policies, or to protect rights and safety, and information may be transferred as part of a sale of the business.
Your information is stored and processed in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Information Protection
We use commercially reasonable methods, including SSL, to safeguard your personal data, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach, we will notify the necessary parties as required by law. We have determined that we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, as our core activities do not involve large-scale or systematic monitoring or processing of sensitive data.
Data Retention
We retain the minimum personal information needed — such as your name and email address — for as long as you remain on our mailing list, and any additional information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected or to comply with our legal obligations. If you ask to be removed, your information will be deleted.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your information, to restrict or object to processing, and to receive your data in a portable format. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email, or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at team@baharansari.com.
Children
The Website is intended for those 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it. If you believe we may have done so, contact us at team@baharansari.com.
Third-Party Links
The Website may link to other websites. This Privacy Policy covers only information we collect on baharansari.com. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
